The Lord is awesome! I’ve been stressing out about how I am going to get the money to go on this mission trip and instead of stressing I let go of the stress and am letting God take care of it. So this is what has happened in the past couple of days. Melanie sold her nice sewing machine for $3700. We have 3 big events coming up soon. 1. Africa Mission Trip. 2. Her parents 50th anniversary. 3. Our 10 year anniversary, we are renewing our vows. So Melanie has put $1000 towards the Mission trip and the rest is being divided up between our anniversary, her parents anniversary, and our church. Is God AWESOME or what? Oh, and it gets better. I sold my motorcycle a couple of months ago and yesterday put my riding gear and some other stuff up for sale. As of right now, I have made around $600 and I haven’t sold everything yet.
I think there is a lesson there. When you start stressing out about something (money, job, relationship, marriage, kids, etc.) your focus moves from God to these other things. When in fact, if you would just give that stress up to God and ask Him for His help…..He will answer. It might not be the answer that we were looking for, but He will answer.
