Total Surprise



I just got home a few minutes ago, and what do I find when I open my door? A very official-looking letter from the Missouri Child Support Enforcement agency. I eagerly ripped open the envelope to discover a check, made out to me, in the amount of $442.00! I'm assuming this is Alex's dad's tax refund that the government intercepted like they did a few years ago. June 2005 was the last time I received a SINGLE DIME from him for the support of our son, so seeing this check three years later was indeed a blessing. Granted, $442 barely makes a dent in the more than $40,000 I am owed in back child support, but it's certainly better than nothing. Now I can pay my electric bill (in full), fill up my gas tank, and take Alex to Chuck E. Cheese, which he has been begging me to do.
This is just one more example of proof that faith and prayer do work! I've been asking God to help me financially, and this past month I've been working more hours at Hollywood Tan, I received a few hundred dollars for my birthday, the shithead who owes me $450 paid me back, and now this. I am so happy....and thankful....
