God is Faithful

Recently our board of director's at WATW voted to build a house for staff with children. Of course we do not have any money to build this house. We still owe $38,000.00 on the addition we made three years ago. We barely had enough money to make our payroll on the 30th. It seems like the last thing we should do (expand). Honestly I know that is when God can show out th most. I feel that the Lord is encouraging me to do this by faith and not borrow money. All kinds of thoughts come in my head like: this will take forever, your not hearing right, God would not tell you to do that. Well I think that is exactly what God would tell me to do. God has always expected me to walk by faith.

Before I left for vacation the building committee and myself picked out a spot to build the house. It will be across from the existing staff house. The first step is to clear the ground. Pastor Garry King said he knew someone who needed the wood and he would tell him about it. He was sure he would clear the ground for the wood. I left it at that and went on vacation. While on vacation I prayed and asked God to send the man to clear the land and that would be a sign to me that it was Him and we are on the right track. Well, when I got back seven days later no one had cleared the land so I thought that was God telling me we are not on the right track. I thought I could call Pastor Garry and ask him about it but I wanted to wait on God. The next day Pastor Garry called and said they will be there Saturday to start clearing the land. So it looks like God is Faithful and He has answered my prayer.

Today when I went the house there they were cutting down trees and clearing the way for the new staff house. Praise the Lord. It is so good to serve a God that listens when I pray.

I love serving Him and there is never a dull moment. In my quiet time and a devotion I led today at the Well Paul refers to himself as the bondservent of Jesus Christ and called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God. Romans 1:1 I am thankful that God has chose me to be a bondservent of Jesus Christ and He has separated me unto the gospel of God. Serving Him is the best thing that has happen to me. I want to do it forever.
