God's Provision

A pastor's wife was visiting our church today with her sister and got up to give an amazing testimony. Not long ago, God told their family to leave their nice home, nice school for the kids, church they loved in Mississippi and move to Massachussetts. The town where all the witchcraft stuff had went on..is it Salem?

Anyways, so they moved out of their comfort zone, sold all that they had and followed God's leading and completely went on faith. They had no jobs, no place to live, only 1 vehicle, not a whole lot of anything else. They moved to a town still being full of all the witchcraft hibity.
(signs on buildings everywhere, schools of it, talk about it) But they went...on faith.

She testifies today the many things that God provided thru their obedience to Him:

1-Someone called and gave her (the mom) a 2006 van!

2- The kids were going to have to attend a witchcraft school (because of the district they lived in) and she said no way but didn't know how else they would do it. She got a phone call within days of her prayers from someone saying they wanted to pay to send their kids to a Christian School in the area.

3-They needed health insurance...but couldn't afford it. It's a law in the state of Mass. that you can get big time penalized if you DON'T have it. Again, within days of prayer, someone called and said, "What is your biggest need right now?" They said, "Well, it's health insurance."
Again, their prayers were answered.

4- They found a beautiful home for a decent price.

She says the list goes on and these were just a few.
I was encouraged.
For here we sit with the possibility that one of our cars (the one we had paid off) is possibly totaled. We will hopefully find out more tomorrow.

But still my mind wants to be anxious. And all the negatives come to the surface.
We honestly cannot afford to buy another vehicle and go furgther in debt....we are trying to work at being debt free WHILE I continue to be a stay at home mama.
But I will focus on the positives.

- we still have 1 car that is in great condition
- a little less freedom is NOT going to hurt me.....i have to work hard at this one
-there are other people out their struggling with alot worse situations
- our kids are healthy
-we can afford to run our air conditioning on these hot humid days
-our cupboards are full of food
-in some countries, having the convience of 2 running vehicles is a luxuary
- in the big picture of life...this is very very very minor......

Because God will provide in all situations in life. And after hearing Melissa's testimony today....really do I need to be fretting that we may only be down to 1 car??????
