An Oasis in the Desert.
Jerad traveled more than 1,500 miles from early Saturday morning to Tuesday evening visiting his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and supporters in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia. We praise God for His provision, safety and refreshment Jerad experienced. It was his oasis in the desert.
We have great challenges ahead of us and yet we serve a GREAT GOD! We're calling on God's people to earnestly pray for our family. As Jerad drove home from his long journey, he asked God to do something big - to really move and He has. We have experienced great showers of blessing throughout this deputation time, but this evening showers - a literal shower - came into our 1/2 bath. We now have a hole in our ceiling.
If that were it, that'd be manageable I guess....Jerad and I will be the first to admit that home repair is quite unnatural to both of us, but we can make phone calls, that's doable. To compound the situation, yesterday I came home to 4 large medical bills. To further stretch us, we have some outgoing expenses to settle in the next 10 days. And, lastly, we still need that last 7% of our support.
Have you ever felt physically sick because you are overwhelmed with concern as to how God will provide? We're feeling that right now and yet, we know without a shadow of a doubt that God will provide for us. So, why the nauseating feelings in the pit of our stomachs? Why the lumps in our throats? I don't know if I can answer that other than to say, we are human. In these moments of frustrations and worry, we rely on God.
Please pray.
