Our God is greater!!!

I have amazing news that I wanted to share!!! At church this morning the Pastor singled me out in front of the whole congregation to point out that I am collecting funds to serve in Lebanon, so if anyone wanted to support me, the church had a fund to which they could donate to!!! Immediately after, 2 women rushed to me who were connected to Lebanon somehow, and one of them has a ministry right here in Bristol serving an Arab population!!! God is totally preparing me! He is with me and is providing all that I need for when I go! Also, BRCC is partnering with me to fund and pray! I am so excited to see God moving!

Jehovah Jireh

I am so glad that God is teaching me to rely on Him! He truly is the God who gives and takes away...and I find that He truly gives what is good. This week, I lost power and became so thankful that God provided everything I needed: a warm shower, heat, food, gas...just by presenting different alternatives and solutions in the amazing way that He does! So, after realizing how much I depend on my health and material things, and how thankful I am for them, when I got them back I could focus on God as my sole Source and Provider! My true Jehovah Jireh! Related verses: Exodus 33:14, Psalm 116:6 & 7, Ephesians 1:7-10. This notion comforts me and helps me to abide in Him...to just be. Ahhh...I can be who I am and trust that He has the rest. Psalm 23- He leads me to green pastures!
