what a week

what seemed to start as a good week quickly turned to a major trial. One that I should have completely turned over but instead, as usual, tried to fix on my own. When paying a lowe's bill I mistakenly put in 2,000 instead of 20.00 HUGE difference and of course threw my account into a tailspin and me. It is amazing to me that such a large bank such as B of A cannot stop a payment sent within an hour or so but they can't so don't try this at home folks. Just when I was to the point of some serious depression setting in things changed. I had been talking to lowe's and b of a almost two hours as well as instant messaging my dad. He was telling me not to worry but I knew that if I sat back and did nothing that I would be hit with 5 non-sufficient fund fees. the one from lowe's and then 4 purchases made with my debit card sunday and monday. totally freaking out here but my earthly Father like my Heavenly Father was saying "it is okay, I will take care of it, don't worry." What comforting words. After stressing and literally about to go insane my folks reminded me that I could write a check on the beach account since I was authorized some years back on the account. What a relief. I could deposit the money that was not supposed to go to Lowe's and just wait for them to send me a refund check. The funny thing is the money they will refund is way more than my credit line there. Needless to say I am through with lowes and b of a. Sorry, stock holders. they don't need nor want my biz. I rush to nbsc and within ten minutes I am on my way with cash in hand to cover my stupid mistake. What a relief. all the time I was trying to solve my problem and never "let go and let God". Why do we freak and not rely on Him? Or should I say, "why do I freak and not rely on Him?"
today I am checking out my account and realize that I was in fact charged a fee of 35 bucks for the first overdraft. Oh, here we go again. Long story short they credited the fee and things are back to a semi-normal life.
