WOW...

I don't know why I was surprised by this, but I was. God always amazes me!

We support two African Orphans. The woman who runs the organization has been there several times and she knows the Pastor who runs the orphanage. His name is Pastor Moses.

My husband occasionally gets a bonus at work and we decided that bonus tithes would go toward the orphans. We tithe faithfully--over 10% so we are comfortable with our decision.

We sent our check off with a note because our little guy wanted to give some of his money, so we explained that to Kristy.

We received a note today from Kristy that just TWO days prior to receiving our check, that Pastor Moses had called and said the city was forcing the Orphanage to get electricity and he needed financial help with that. Then our check arrived!!
Looking back on our check register, we actually wrote the check out the day Pastor Moses called Kristy!!

That certainly can only be God at work with the timing and everything!! It is such a blessing to us--supporting the orphans and hearing a story like this!!

But can you imagine not having electricity?? I had to explain that one to the little guy!!

Praise GOD!!!! I shouldn't be so surprised because GOD is so faithful to answer prayers!!
I've just learned it's not always the answer we want!! But it is GODS answer.

People in your life

God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.

People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did,
But people will never forget how you made them feel

Sometimes I forget..................

Sometimes I forget that God—Jesus Is always with me. Always

He is there when I am watching TV, or on the computer. Doing laundry, or my floors or vacuuming.
He is there when I shower, or bathe my son. He is there in times of trouble too. I know God sees every situation and why it happens. I know HE knows the outcome.
I know that God hears my prayers. I love that I can TALK to God and have HIM listen. God has the hairs on my head numbered—to me that is incredible. He Knew me before I was born and what path my life would take and what decisions I had the free will to make.
Sometimes I forget all that.
Deuteronomy 31:6
6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
7 Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.
8 And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

Psalm 139:11-15
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Matthew 12:7
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Jeremiah 1:5
5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
