“YOU CAN COUNT ON ME; I’LL BE THERE AS YOUR FRIEND”

Those were the lyrics I felt God singing to me some weeks ago through the reggae artist, Sanchez, and let me tell ya, yesterday He proved that I really can count on Him. I’m in the used car sales business, and despite having met all the conditions for approval with a bank for a customer, at the very last minute, the bank backed out of the deal. I need this bank, so all I could do was to try an alternative loan source, but after no luck, I had to take back the vehicle and return their money. Only thing was, they INSISTED on cashback and I had forgotten that due to COVID, the banks closed earlier on Saturdays. The very politely told me, ‘Sorry, Nikki, but if you don’t give me cash back, I will call the police.”

To avoid trouble and for the police not to come, I made a few phone calls, but everyone was out of town. I then go to the bank to get as much cash out of the ATM, and exactly where I parked, was a sign saying, “tow ZONE,” exactly as the song I was playing said something like, “in the ZONE” (Wink! Wink!). I laughed with God because I knew this was not some ordinary coincidence, it was His fun and sweet way of letting me know that His invisible Presence was there with me in this troublesome situation.

Getting back to the office, I counted all the cash I had between my purse and the office’s little petty cash, and was short precisely $25. I asked my assistant, Martha, if she had any money on her, and she pulled out her wallet, unbelievably  EXACTLY $25, the only cash she had. Another God wink with Him saying, ‘Nik, I’m with you!’ That again lined up too perfectly to be coincident!

Then the app that customers agreed I could pay them the additional money through, they changed their minds and didn’t want it that way anymore. I said, ‘I’ll give you a company check for the difference.” Their reply was once again, “Sorry, Nikki, but if you don’t give me cash back, I will call the police.” Oh my goodness!

I came up with another idea and they agreed that I could do transfers to their account. Julie, Ember and Duro quickly helped me out because of daily transfer limits and just like that, the problem was resolved, no police involvement with God again proving that I can count on Him.

Our signs all over our business say, “In God we trust,” and I feel that we must conduct ourselves honoring Him. The wife sent me this text after they had left:

“Thank you for everything, and God bless you, your family, and your business.” I wished her the same.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart

    and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him,

    and he will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
