  We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 WEB
  
  It was time to get a better internet package for the ministry, so we went to the service provider's office, signed in and sat down, but no one called us. I looked at the clock as they called the next person, and even though we had signed in before them, they were now going in ahead of us.
  
  It was annoying to be skipped over as we waited for customer service and after this happened a couple of times, I was ready to do some professional level whining and complaining. For some reason they had skipped over us and continued down the sign in sheet. I felt cheated.
  
  Eventually, one of the upper management came to help them catch up with the queue, called us in and waited on us personally. I was surprised because I had gone to school with her and we had been friends long ago.
  
  Someone else had already told us that the top speed business package would cost us around $300 a month, so we were going to get something more in the middle. However, my friend who was helping us said that they were allowed to give a ministry the residential rate of $99 for the top tier and still have all the same service and benefits.
  
  They saved us from making a mistake, gave us a much better package, and saved us a good bit of money at the same time, about a third of what we would have paid. It turns out that it could not have worked out better.
  
  Have you ever been inconvenienced only to find out that it worked out for the best? There are people that met their spouse while waiting in a slow line at the grocery store. Had they not been stuck waiting in the line they would have walked right past each other.
  
  Know today that the delays, setbacks, and disappointments that you face will end up working out for your own good. The things that look bad, scary, and the things that make you nervous, will work out for the best in the end. When God makes you wait, He always has something better in store.
  
  Prayer: Father, thank You for this wonderful day. I am thankful to be here, right where I am, and I know that You have good plans for me. I choose to delight in You today and I know that the bad things are going to work out for good, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
  
  Note: Good morning! The highlighted group of the week is "Real Support for Military Families": This group is a place to receive and offer encouragement and prayer for members of the military and their families. We recognize that the families of those who serve in particular have daily burdens that often go unnoticed. If you would like to be part of this community, either as part of a military family, or just someone who would like to pray for them, please do join them! You can find them and any of the other groups on the 'Groups' link on the site menu.
