Jehovah Jireh.. That is one of my favorite names of God. He always provides and equips His people with everything they need to do what He has set out for them. Sometimes we have to look closely and find how He has provided. Other days, He lays it out right before our eyes.
Today was one of those days. First of all, a HUGE thank you to all of those who donated items to be sold today!! We filled up the driveway until it was bursting and I'm happy to say a good majority of it sold!! While there were a few big ticket items that went for more, most things were priced at a dollar or two. A dollar here, a dollar there, by 1pm it added up to $600!! I'm in shock at how much He provided from little knick-knacks and what nots.
Our God is big, and He is a God who sees our needs and cares. He is so much bigger than I ever give Him credit for. Once again, He showed me that He is in control and doing great works through little things, like knick-knacks! I'm so excited He chosen to use me, and just like with today's garage sale, I can't wait to be surprised at how He choses to work.
Well, I'm currently at about 50% support for the year, which is fantastic! Considering there was only a month between moving home and leaving, I'm throughly impressed at how God has financially provided for this upcoming year. "When I am weak, He is strong." That is the message He keeps speaking to my heart.
I leave in 8 days and 16 hours. EEK! These coming days are going to be a roller coaster of emotions as I prepare to leave. Please pray for myself, my family, and closest friends as we prepare to say goodbye for now. Ay, I'm tearing up just at the thought. Additionally, please pray for my visa application and passport. They are currently both at the Royal Thai Consulate in Houston, TX. Please pray God gives me favor in their eyes, my application is accepted, and passport and visa safely in my hands in time to leave.
Love to you all!
