Thank you so much Jesus!

Ok, so I just have to share. Only a few actually know about what I'm sharing below, but now it's time to use it as a testimony!
For almost the whole past two years the company my husband works for has been very slow. They have had business but not very much and so along with me having to take furlough days (time without pay) because of the State's deficit, my husband in addition to taking a 20% paycut also had to take some time off without pay. For some reason though the company has not gone under, while other's have. Of course it has been a daily prayer of ours that God would bless the owner with enough wisdom to keep the business going.
Now, fast forward to two weeks ago............we were dreading filing taxes, at last we decided to just file and get it over with. When we filed we found that we made $25,000 less than we did in 2009! As you can imagine we looked in awe at the bottom line final amount we brought home and said to one another "how did we make it?". Somehow God worked it out to where we had a roof over our head, food on the table (thank the Lord for spaghetti!), clothes on, gas in the tank.. (the list goes on and on) without any government assistance at all! Oh how we would have loved some assistance but alas, they look at gross income instead of net =( Needless to say we actually get a small tax refund this year! Woohoo! AND we qualify for all kinds of homebuyer incentitives now since our gross income was less. BUT now for the really good news.........Robert's work is busy! They are actually so busy right now that they can't keep up!!!! The bid requests are flowing in and they are rushing to get bids out. Robert is the lead and only finisher in the shop and is swamped with work! He was just told that he can work as much overtime as he'd like because of how busy they are!!!! Thank you Jesus! Seriously, we were just thinking the other night that we wouldn't be able to make it much longer with the way gas prices are and then Wham! God drops down a bunch of overtime! I'm bout' to have a Holy Ghost shout down right here at my desk.............don't worry, at least I'd be able to explain it =)
Have a great day and know that the Lord knows just how much we can take!
