I remember learning about how God answers prayers with a YES, NO, Wait or just different...
We know the power of prayer; I mean when Elijah prayed, fire fell!
We continue to learn to competely depend on him and be anxious for nothing because our God who unrelentlessly loves us is in control and in that we pray...we pray for everything!
During this first official time of Missionary Furlough (which is crazy, because time in the U.S. is NOT a time of rest-LOL!) I keep standing in awe of God's provision, thanking him but mostly I find myself asking - HOW?!
How did these miracles happen...
Then, I hear God whisper, "I said YES!" There is no other way to explain it but that God has showed up and showed out mightily. When we've asked...in HIS mercy, grace and blessing...HE said Yes!
In this part of our faith journey it seems like if we even thought about it; God shined down and did it!
Little bitty detailed things: Like I was thinking about getting the kids a typing program because none of them type well at all...Lindy says, hey I found this Mavis Beacon Keyboarding CD Rom, do you want it! The kids wanted a keyboard to learn and/or continue piano...a friend says hey, I've got a keyboard! It just beautifully seemed like anything we needed (or wanted) God went on before us, moved mountains and said YES! Thank you daddy for your wonders; that you are bigger and better than we deserve and you encourage and confirm through provison...now, pour yourself out and may we be filled to continue to pour out and shine with you -Matt.5:16 as we return to Haiti!
We go back to Haiti so filled, so healed and so ready to continue to live out the kingdom in love with blessings beyond what we could imagine. Honestly, if I tried to tell you everything you wouldn't even believe it and I don't have the words to share it!
Just to share a few:
We have BATTERIES for electricity
A motorcycle for transportation!! Thank you Christian Motorcycle Association!
School supplies and Christmas for the students of HoM (and a few others too!)
Funding to continue the ministry AND we are an official non-profit Texas corporation
Greater wisdom through a mission process with Crossworld
Continue to pray us through our first House of Moses shipping; we are expecting a great God to get everything to Miami, on that ship and to the House of Moses in Haiti!
In this last week in the U.S. pray that we finish strong and wise! Get some family time and rest in too...
That the 501c3 with the IRS gets complete!
For the gospel to be spread because of humble obedience and love: that lives are changed and souls are saved for God's glory!
