Are you God's answer?

For the past few days I have been freaking out. I am doing the family budget and this month has been hard. It seems that when it rains it pours. Not only were our taxes due (we always have to pay state) but we had to buy propane also. I swear...as soon as I save for one thing an emergency pops up. I'm not trying to bring you down or asking for pity...just showing a back story here. So, I have been wanting to go to A-day with the family. A-day is the spring practice game that Alabama plays..it's free but we do have to come up with gas and food. Also I have been wanting to paint my bedroom for almost a year now. I finally found a color that Nate and I both agreed on. So, I saved some money for both of these things...until this month. I was about to tell the family that we just couldn't do either of these things.... last night I was at the end of my worry rope. I decided to just lay it out to God. So...he listened and I waited. Something happened today that was God's answer to my prayer. I can't say who or even why, but this person happened to give us a gift. I don't think they know how much it is/was appreciated. I started crying and couldn't even tell them thank you because I was afraid that I would start crying again. I know that this person could use their gift also but decided not to. I tell you: I truly love them. They are such wonderful people and I would just feel weird to tell them how I really felt about them and how much they mean to me...it would be very awkward. Can you imagine? I think you are kind, beautiful, caring, thoughtful, special, loving, God-fearing, God-centered, amazing, I'm jealous of them...they have it so together, they are everything I want to be, etc... yep awkward! But I do love them and would do anything for them (I just can't do anything that they need). Ok I'm rambling now.
Anyway...maybe there will be a time that you do something and it doesn't seem that big to you(or maybe it does), maybe that is when you are God's answer to someone else. I pray that one day I will be able to be God's answer to someone.
