What A Faithful God Have I
I've been feeling a bit stressed recently - working full time, taking two classes, trying to prepare for a two-week trip to Africa on October 14, and full-time missions in July of next year, AND getting my house ready to put on the market. Yeah, just a little on my plate.
God did make it clear he wanted the house on the market before I leave next weekend. And there are an amazing number of "little" jobs that need to be done by then. Every time I turn around I find something else.
One of the things I've been most concerned about is how little support raising I've been able to do. I should be much farther along at this point, but haven't been able to give it much attention. But God knows that I'm doing as much as I can humanly do.
God proved this with some wonderful encouragement.
On Wednesday night I found a letter in my mailbox that had been hand addressed. It was from some friends that our family had known back in Alaska about 23 years ago. It was a lovely update of what had been going on in their lives and how their children were taking such good care of them. AND a check for $25. I just about cried.
On Thursday night, I received another letter. This family friend still lives in Alaska. She too had received the news release from World Venture. Another lovely update on her life and a one-time gift of $50. There was also a check for $25 and a monthly committment in that amount.
This time I did cry.
What a faithful God I serve! One who reminds me that He will take care of everything - big and small. He's got it all under control. Even if I can't see the whole picture today.
