So do not worry saying,"What shall we eat?", or "What shall we drink?", of "What shall we wear?". For the pagans run after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:31-34
God is faithful....
As some of you know Kevin hasn't had steady work since we went to Jamaica in May. But....all bills are current. Every time there is a bill coming due Kevin is asked to do home repairs or God provides in some other manner. So it has been a summer of learning deeper trust in God's faithfulness to provide. Saturday was the biggest proof of this fact so far.
It began last Sunday when I picked up applications for the Jamaica mission trip in January. Even after getting the apps. I wasn't fully convinced that this was God's calling-thought it was just me wanting to go. So I put out a fleece that if He wanted us to go that He would have to provide the $40 app fee because otherwise the money wasn't there for it.
Kevin pulled bushes out for a lady and charged her a small amount. She wrote the check for a larger amount. Okay there is the app fee money but this weeks paycheck didn't quite cover the bills so maybe I should put that toward gas needs. That was Thursday.
Saturday in the mail Kevin gets a thank you note from a customer in Farmland that he had done bathroom work for and had installed an entrance ramp for. The customer had already paid Kevin but enclosed with the note was an additional check. The note stated that they were very pleased with the work he had done. They felt he had not charged them enough. What an encouragement that was for Kevin.
SOooooo.. we are going to Jamaica in January AND all bills are still current AND my husband has a smile on his face.
God is faithful!
