With Nats coming up, I had $20, and needed $25 for registration, and $72 for the hotel.  My mother had already decided to come with us and visit family, so that got gas covered.
Well, I prayed that God would provide money, and this is the first time that I've every really prayed that.  Sure, before, I've wanted things and asked for them, but never really meant it.
You're probably wondering about the title.  I'd been helping out around the church (VBS, etc), and my Pastor, John Grenier, asked if I would be interested in mowing his (huge) lawn at $8/hr.

So, I mowed John's lawn to pay for John's hotel.  On a John Deere.

Moral of all this: So many people miss God-Given opportunities because it looks like work.

It's a really big lawn.  I also did other odd jobs around the church, and sold some cards.
