One of my own personal experiences that helps to reconfirm my belief in the Lord.
Just after the time that I was Saved I moved and was without a Job. I was 22 but for some reason i was driven to buy a skateboard (skated all through school) Of course without a job this wasn`t going to happen. I began to pray constantly for the money required to purchase this item. I told the Lord that if he gave this to me I would skate to Glorify him, (i wasn`t sure how but that was the plan) I believed was so sure that the lord would grant me this gift that i would go for walks convinced that i would find lost money. Then One day as i was driving a friend of mine followed me into a parking lot and asked me if I would be interested in going to his uncles to help him build a house. I agreed and for two weeks i worked as a carpenter. When the house was finished i bought my skateboard. I cut some scripture into the grip tape and began skating at night under a street lamp. Within days the local skating teenagers spotted me and began to ask about the things on my board. I spent that summer skating and ministering to those kids, frequently going out to skate with my bible. We would play POSER and when i won they would read passages from the bible. Most kids would have moved on but these kids came back every day for the entire summer. It was a great summer
