He is Faithful!

I want to share with you a short video I just watched on Pastor Francis Chan's blog. It's truth can change your life.

This is where my family has been financially for some time now. I now realize it is a good thing! It is a God thing! It is a blessing and I am going to rest in it.... I am going to embrace it. I am going to keep my eyes fixed upon Jesus and trust Him to give us our daily bread!!!!!!!
Just like manna falling from the sky, if we have too much it spoils.... if we try to consume it, to take in the extra it makes us sick.... I am so excited! For the first time in my life I don't want extra, more..... I only want what God wants for me, for my family. I know He will give us enough to keep a roof over our heads and food in our tummy's.... He will provide for our children. He will provide the way, the means, the finances daily, to bring our Isabella home. Step by step, day by day...... just enough to keep us focused on Him, just enough to not get lost in the treasures of this world, just enough to grow daily in our faith of His faithfulness, and just enough to glorify God from Whom all blessings flow. How liberating it is to let go and let God!
Thank You Jesus for our daily bread! If there is "extra" just like the manna from heaven it it not meant to be stored up but to be shared..... there are so many who need manna.... who need their daily bread and perhaps Jesus is calling you to be the vessel He chooses to work through to supply that manna..... whether it be to a family in town that is having a hard time feeding their family. The single Mom, raising her children and could really use an hour or two just to be alone, spending quiet time with the Lord. (yes, our time is Manna, daily bread also) The missionary family serving God and the people in a far away land.... who trust in Jesus daily for their manna from heaven to feed their family and keep the ministry alive. (Just as it should be) The family trying to bring their child home from China, Russia, Africa, Guatamala, where ever their little one may be..... as they struggle, pray, and trust the Lord to provide the finances to pay the adoption fees. The little orphaned child and their caregivers who only have broth to eat and a meal of rice perhaps twice a month..............
Manna is falling from the sky my friends.......... it is from the Father above. Gather what you need for your family that DAY and share with others in the Name of Jesus who are waiting for, hoping for, praying for, needing their daily bread! After all...... it all belongs to the Lord anyway...... it never was truly ours to begin with.
I join in with Pastor Chan and challenge you to pray this prayer.....

Proverbs 30: 7-9

Two things I request of You

(Deprive me not before I die):

Remove falsehood and lies far from me;

Give me neither poverty nor riches-

Feed me with the food allotted to me;

Lest I be full and deny You,

And say, "Who is the LORD?

Or lest I be poor and steal,

And profane the name of God.

Then enjoy the ride! Oh, the wonder of watching God work in your life! Of watching God work in your family! Of watching God work in you!

Pray the prayer! Open the doors to your store houses and let it flow.................... don't worry about tommorrow.... invest in ETERNITY, invest in the things of the Lord. It's a SURE THING!
I am so excited for what God has instore for us.

(Gwen shared on her blog about a devotional that she is doing that is challenging her in her walk with the Lord.... is changing her..... it is called Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I just received it yesterday and have only made it through the introduction and I can feel God stirring my spirit...... I can feel Him drawing me closer to Him..... I say, "Yes, Lord." I encourage you to get a copy of this book..... Jesus is waiting for you.)
