Words cannot describe the way Chris and I have been blessed and loved over the last week. And to keep such blessings and evidence of God’s sovereignty and miracles would be nothing short of wrong. So please, rejoice with us…

Our car broke down a couple weeks ago. Two weeks before that, we had just emptied our savings account on a trip to Kansas City to support some friends who were going through a rough time. A week after that, we moved, and that drained what little money we had left.

Blessing #1 came through a friend and coworker who offered to fly us up to KC in his plane on his own time. We wouldn’t have been able to make it up without him.

So…back to the car…needing to come up with a nice chunk of money we simply did not have…the situation looked hopeless. Dropping my pride, I emailed a bunch of people asking for prayer.

Blessing #2 came when 70 flipping people replied saying they are praying over our situation….WOW. Most of whom, I will note, we don’t even know.

Blessing #3 came within moments after sending that email, a sweet sister sent us part of her bonus to help us pay for it.

Blessing #4 came at various points during the week in my mailbox…a freelance payment here, and there, and a refund from our last apartment….they all added up.

Blessing #5 came today when I was on the phone with the service guy. He knew we both worked at a church and gave us a 10% discount which ended up saving us about $60.

Blessing #6 came a little later today when someone I don’t even know, who I’ve never met or had a soy peppermint mocha with (that’s kind of an inside joke I hope he will appreciate) sent us the rest of the money. To the dime, we have been provided for without a strain on our budget.

And that is just ONE situation…on top of that, last week I feel as if some significant conversations with new friends (again, who I’ve never met!) have taken place, and have been God-ordained and blessed…for His glory, and for His church.

I know I usually don’t get so churchy-sounding on my blog, but I had to share the amazing things God has done…Thank you all for praying and sharing and encouarging us through the last couple of weeks.

The note in the last gift said this: They will know we are Christians by our love for one another.

Thank you for loving…

Psalm 9:1
I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.
