God's Provision

When it comes to the Provision of God...why do we doubt? Why do I doubt? Why do I ever fear that He will not take care of me, that He wont provide exactly what I need exactly when I need it? God's provision on this whole Journey to Zambia has been absolutely amazing and I just want to lift His name REAL HIGH right now! I love it when He shows His power!

To some, it may seem crazy the life I live...taking time off here and there being self-employed and no vacation pay, staying home for a small amount of time in between....but I know this is the life I have been created for and it is a life of faith. Faith in the God that delights in doing the impossible. Faith in ALMIGHTY GOD. Faith in the Great I AM. A life of faith even when it doesn't make sense to others.

God's provision has overwhelmed me and I feel His love so much. I picture His arms around me and Him holding me saying..."I love you, Amy....always have, always will and I will take care of you and provide your every need." I would love to go down the list of those who have cheerfully and faithfully gave to make this journey possible. I would love to mention each one by name....but some have asked to remain anonymous so I wont. But I do want to SHOUT OUT a HUGE THANK YOU!!! Thank you to all those who have given to make this journey/mission/dream possible for me. God has used you to provide and meet a HUGE need! 2 weeks ago, I was not even close to the goal of the amount needed....NO WHERE NEAR close! (that was where the fear and faith collided!). and I am over 3/4th's of the way there and have NO DOUBT in my mind that God will provide the rest needed before I go! NO DOUBT!!! God is so Faithful and once again, my faith has been tested and my faith has been increased.

I write all this to lift HIS NAME High....and also to tell each of you that He IS FAITHFUL, He can be trusted and He wants to do the same for you! He doesn't just help people that go on missions trips...He is Faithful to ALL His children, even when we aren't faithful to Him. He wants and will provide for you in the same way He has for me, whatever the need. The biggest lesson I have learned in all of this is that it will be "according to your faith". Let our faith in Him, His Power and the Person of Who He is be HUGE! Will you trust Him today to do the impossible in your life? He wants to provide!!!!
