trust in chariots

what we are not suppose to do...
i know that i need to look through the eyes of faith but somehow trusting in what I can see with my physical eyes comes way to easily.


Last week for a lot longer than i would like to admit, fear trapped me. Holly had a hard week. We found out it was radiation pneumonia which they had predicted. She is nice and drugged up now...happy and healing, but fear captured me. 


I know that this is lung cancer we are talking about here, stage 4, and that ONLY a supernatural miracle will work to give her a long life...but at the first sign of sickness since her good news... i doubted... i feared.... my eyes went off of Jesus and on to Holly's weak stature...i let tons of faithless thoughts run through my mind. 


Please pray for FAITH and for HOPE in HIM for all of us! Please pray for a supernatural miracle!!

Psalm 20:7

New International Version (NIV)

 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, 
    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God

results

every day of my life i can brag on my GREAT GOD and what i have seen Him do and I have seen so many things this past week that one post can hardly hold it all. My top 7...

1. The many people from all over our community who said yes to God and gave an hour, a day, or a week to serve with joy and sweat at Proceeds for Poverty (P4P).

2.  God working through Roy and Nancy Carter, 2 people who gave not only the past week but last serval months. Along with others Roy picked up 66 loads of stuff! They both gave their all to Jesus and served with joy and His strength. He leads by example and encouraged us all.

3. The many people (many from different churches) who made doll dresses to sale, baked goodies, posted signs, organized pickups, gave out brochures....they said YES GOD and took action to show love to the poor and needy.

4. My sister who came and served with us for a few hours. This is just a testament of God's healing in her body and His grace to give her the strength and will.

5. God working despite the heat and storm to make over $17,000 at the sale, along with a $10,000 donation, and a late donation of around $2,500 to give us almost $30,000 from Proceeds for Poverty this year......HE LOVES AND RESCUES THE POOR AND NEEDY!

6. Kaaliya's face as she dug through a box of clothes, belts, underwear, shoes, and even a bathing suit that Lorrie, by God's wisdom, put together for her from the TUGA loot. God knew her need and made a way for us to meet it through obedient people who give and Lorrie who picked it out.

7. My children who learned about Him through Edith being obedient and teaching them and so many other children all throughout the week.

Isaiah 41:17-20

¹⁷ “When the poor and needy search for water and there is none,
    and their tongues are parched from thirst,
then I, the Lord, will answer them.
    I will never abandon them.
¹⁸ I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus.
    I will give them fountains of water in the valleys.
I will fill the desert with pools of water.
    Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground.
¹⁹ I will plant trees in the barren desert—
    cedar, acacia, myrtle, olive, cypress, fir, and pine.
²⁰ I am doing this so all who see this miracle
    will understand what it means—
that it is the Lord who has done this,
    the Holy One who created it.

the eve...

.. of proceeds for poverty...
a massive 3 day sale... but soooo much more than that... a life changing event for all involved

and again ...just like these recent India adventures... i feel as though i am going forward but not even moving my legs like He is carrying me forward. I am just an observer of what HE is doing to rescue the poor and needy.  So many people being obedient together in one place makes me giddy.... it is dangerous like dynimite...ready to explode.

If God is leading you to catch some of the action. Come on out! Donate, Volunteer, or Buy and show HIS love to the world!

Look what He did last year through hundreds of obedient children.
