not understand, we were taught you DO NOT take communion

unless you had been to confession. Communion was sacred and you
could only participate if you had confessed your sins to the priest. I

felt if I participated based on all the craziness going on in my life, my
tongue would surely burn up because all hell is breaking out.

I was able to get up the next day and go to work, I still had to
meet payroll. I could not think about missing a payroll for the 10

remaining employees, especially not at Christmas. I went to the office

first and I decided to stop on another floor to speak with a sister I had
met casually. She also owned a small consulting company. I began to

share where I was with the business and the spiritual experience I had
just had over the weekend. As I shared and cried about my issues a

sister whom I did not know took out her checkbook and started
writing me a check. I was so embarrassed and humbled at the same

time. I told her I did not want to accept her check; I had always made
it on my own. She told me that she was obligated to give me the check

because someone had done the same for her when she was in my
situation. I took the check and I was prepared to go to the bank to

pull money off of my credit card. I never looked at the amount of the

check until I went to the bank. I saw she had written me a check for
$5,000, the same amount I was going to have to withdraw from my
credit card. God’s order, I never told her the amount I needed to pull

from my credit card. God was still watching over me. I was able to go

home for Christmas.
