Praise!
God provides. God provides indeed! Over the past two weeks, we have a lot to offer praise for. Ryan is scheduled to start seminary in June 2010, so we plan to be down in Jackson in May so that we can get settled in and acquainted with our new home town. Since Ryan will be in school full time, he will only be able to get a part time job, which means we will have to live on even less than we do now. So, we have our house and car up for sale now. We've been praying that the Lord raise up an honest and fair buyer for both and that He provides us with a mini van to accommodate our growing family. The Lord did provide- and even beyond! He provided us with a FREE mini van! Glory to God for his goodness and provisions!! We have been so humbled by this answered prayer. Ryan told me a few days before we received the news about the van that his cousin Marilyn (who is a prayer warrior!!) was praying for us, for the Lord to raise up a mini van, perhaps a free mini van, if not just for our needs, but then to encourage and soften everyone hearts around us. Well, the Lord indeed hears our prayers, and He answers prayers!! What an incredible blessing!! "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
We immediately called Marilyn with the news of this answered prayer and she was ecstatic. I was crying... I could tell she was teary eyed too! She emailed me later saying "Romans 8:32" which reads "He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Along with this answered prayer, we also have received medical coverage for our children, a $71.00 credit on our gas bill, and deposit money for on-campus housing for seminary. We needed to get that deposit money off very soon to make sure we secured housing for us. We prayed about the Lord sending us money, and out of the blue a couple of days ago, for no apparent reason, Ryan's mom gave him exactly the amount we needed to send!! To the dollar!!! This has no luck or chance to it; it is ALL God!!!!!
How wonderful He is!
He loves us because we are His.
Thanks for everyone's prayers!
