God's grace

Have you ever been through a situation in your life that just ticked you off? Then after a while you begin to see how God's grace was so evident in it that you feel so humbled? One of those experiences happened to me this week so I thought I would share.
I finished up our taxes about 2 1/2 weeks ago and we ended up getting a bigger refund than expected. Thanks to our energy saving additions..... Stephen and I were both so excited about it. Thank you God for providing for us to have a little cushion in savings.
Then last Friday I received a letter from the IRS stating that I didn't claim some income from 2008 and we owed quite a bit of money. I was upset because I always claim our income. So after a couple of days calling, waiting in line, waiting on the phone, and trying to figure out what was wrong, I found out that somehow the IRS doesn't have the income documented. Theories aside, it's just not there. Unfortunately I can't pull out my 2008 return because it's gone from our computer virus last year. (Lesson learned: print out everything!) Any way I turn I can't prove that I filed that particular income. It's me vs. the IRS. Guess who's gonna win. Bummer. So I have had to suck up my pride and accept the fact that maybe I messed up somehow. All that to say, yesterday while I was waiting at the IRS office, God told me that He provided the money for the fine through our return this year. Gulp. Sigh. Relief. Thank you God for providing the money. Thank you that it happened at just the right time. He is so good. Even though our return won't be as big as I thought it would be, God is going to take care of us anyway. He is so good, all the time: even in those circumstances that make us upset and frustrated. Is there anything in your life right now that God is showing His grace to you? I would love to hear!
