I have been really excited for a while to read some C.S. Lewis books, especially Mere Christianity. So check out this story of God's faithfulness to provide:
Ashley and I went to see Pirates of The Caribbean 2 (wasn't really that great) with the free movie tickets we had received from trying on jeans at American Eagle. When we arrived at the movie ticket booth, it was already sold out. So we were kind of bummed, but we bought tickets for the next showing an hour later. We started walking around Newport on the Levee (which is a really cool place) and Ashley spotted the Barnes and Noble and wanted to check out some baby books. (By the way, she's doing great with her pregnancy, we are at 20 weeks now.) After going in we checked out the religious section because I wanted to see how expensive the C. S. Lewis books were. I was thinking about purchasing Mere Christianity when I looked down and saw the box set of all of Lewis's classic books. I have been wanting to read all of the books in this set and I exclaimed, "Wow, this is exactly what I want!" A lady next to me, that we had joked with just a little before that, said, "Well, you should buy it if you want it." I then turned it over to see the price tag and it read $69.95. I responded, "Well, I can't afford this." She then blew me away with her response, she said, "I'll buy it for you!" I kind of did a double take. "Are you serious," I said. She said, "Sure lets go." So while we were walking to go buy it we had a great conversation about what she does and it turns out she helps support different types of charities and non-profits. I told her a little more about what we did and she said that she would like to support us too! Wow, God is amazing! He provides for us so often.
