Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

God's Provision

I just have to testify to what the Lord has done! He is so good. I can not begin to express the many miracles of provision the Lord has blessed us with, and escpecially concerning this upcoming mission trip. I am in awe most of the time, can't even really wrap my mind around it other than God's word said it would happen that if we just have faith and do what He has called us to He will provide. So here's the latest story that blows me away. The mission trip is paid in full...praise God....every step of the way down to the suitcases and backpacks...God's provision, sometimes in the funniest ways. So, I 've been praying about the fact that Charlie is going to be gone for 2 weeks, that is 2 weeks without work...2 weeks with no income. Out of the blue a friend of Charlie's called and asked if we had any roping cattle that would be ready by June. Charlie said that he did, and a few guys came out on Sunday to rope them and loaded them up and took them. Just that easy, just that quick! No advertising, no waiting, no thinking about it just DONE! That my friends is how amazing our Lord is. When I try to plan and figure it out on my own, I just make a mess of things, but when I just leave it up to The Almighty One...He always makes it so much better than I could ever plan or imagine.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (The Message)
8-11God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you're ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As one psalmist puts it, He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in reckless abandon. His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear out.This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.

Wow - wow - wow - How cool is that! One verse that just springs up is Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Given! All these thing will be GIVEN!

Praise God! Thank you Jesus that Charlie can know that you have it all under control and he can leave, serve You will all his heart and soul. Thank you Jesus that you have GIVEN! Amen!
