Flurteen months later we still dont have a church. Unbelievable. We ahve turned at least three down knowing God wouldnt let us go. Had several call and say no thanks. The most excitemnet was when we felt God leading towards a church plant in New Mexico. We were planning to go out there amd Lee preach and we were going to stay with some of oir missionaries in Deming. Two whole weeks!! Of course we needed God to supply the money. But that is nothing for Him. But a few days before we were to leave, no money had come and the church decided they didnt wamt southern preaching styles so the door got slammed shut. It was really tough. All my family really believed it was where God was leading. Our missionary pastor thought so too. But....
So here we are. Five weeks post job loss. Waiting on God to suply money to pay bills and buy food. I told the Lord I would go sign up for food stamps Tuesday if He didnt send money. Amd low and behold he sent some Sunday!! Yay! Just in time for this weeks needs. Next week has a big list of needs but He will provide. Like the He rews in the wilderness. God provided day by day. Is it fun? No. Is it comfortable? Nope. But it builds faith in me. In my children. To others whomare watching and dont understand. Its been really hard telling the kids we cant have that or do this. But it hasnt killed us. Helps us be more grateful. They are learning we have a Father who owns it all. And also has spurred hem to find ways to earn money. Not easy but at least they try!!
We have decided we will serve the Lord. And i know this trial will come to an end someday. Praying it is soon!!
