The Details

Written on July 13, 2012


I love how God knows and loves us so intimately. I have needed to finish printing and mailing my last bunch of letters (about 75-80 of them) so that we can prayerfully get the last about $4000 needed to be completely, financially set for this trip. But I conveniently ran out of ink, envelopes, and stamps all at the same time. For all of that I needed about $80 which we don't just have laying around. It seems like here lately every single penny we have is already accounted for. Last Sunday I was leaving church and someone pulled me to the side and handed me a $100 bill and said, "This is for anything extra ya'll need for your trip." :) My mind immediately went to those letters. So today I spent about $79 and some change and got everything I needed to finish them. Isn't it just like God to show up when we're not expecting it?! And isn't it amazing how He knows even when I need ink, stamps and envelopes and provides the means to get it?! Thank you Lord for blessing me through Your servant even in the details!!

  2. -- the closer you get -- the more provision God makes -- the more God shows Himself faithful -- blessing your socks off -- taking your fear away -- growing your faith and sending all excuses out the door! What a great faith builder this experience is for your children. Rich roots of faith are reaching deeper and deeper -- like a tree planted by streams of living water, you will produce much, much fruit. Awesome. Absolutely awesome.
