Good to us in every way
Thank you for your prayers! We got our washer and dryer, some sound equipment that was very needed and the Lord has been good to us in every way!
I’ve been learning and seeing a lot of things on this trip and it’s just so cool watching the Lord work and just learning about the way He does things, it’s like getting to know someone better. I guess because we’ve been having to lean on Him for day to day miracles that it’s boosted my faith in His love for us. I mean, I know I see His love for me in a lot of ways in “normal” life, but being on the road like this in different situations than we’re used to and away from the comfort of settled home life, I’ve seen Him come through for us when we absolutely had to have something, for example, dinner. We haven’t lacked for a meal and in fact have had more than enough with people donating delicious meals for us every time we’ve needed it.
Yesterday this really nice Mexican restaurant gave us a meal, a real treat. But because the Lord is so good to us, I think I’m a little spoiled. The other day things were tough, no one wanted to help and at that moment I felt like “why?” My attitude was a little like, “why are you forsaking us?” And then I was reminded of all the things the Lord had done for us and felt selfish and spoiled. He has to keep us desperate as well and close to Him. But even when things are tough and take longer, He still comes through and along with His blessing, He also teaches us to never give up and to understand that He sees not only the moment but what is gained in the long term.

So true, same here, sometimes I think of what I tell people when wit. “Trust Jesus, He`ll come thru for you when you need Him, or, keep praising when things aren`t going the way you want them to”, ect, and then later I`m bummered `cause somethings not going as planned, ha, so I need to preach at myself!
