God Story- $605.23

My apologies for not getting this post up on Friday like I anticipated, but here it is now :) 

As I type this story, I think of God's faithfulness and pure goodness.
What an awesome God we serve!

On September 5th I was asked by a certain woman how much
more money I needed to raise for Haiti. 
She told me she was praying for me. 

My answer: exactly $1,200 more.

On September 11th, I gave her a BIG praise report that I only had half that
amount to raise left, only $605.23. 
(I actually even posted about it HERE)

 I thanked her for praying and said
He is providing!

 I was in awe of God to read her response back:

 She said that my trip to Haiti had been heavily pressed
 upon her heart by the Holy Spirit...
and that she was humbled to give the remaining $605.23.


She had been praying to The Lord about how much to give and had 
the answer of $600 and was so overwhelmed, overjoyed, and extremely excited
by God's working that she couldn't resist giving the extra $5.


She said it's all because of Him and for Him!
(AMEN. It sure is!)
On September 12, I wrote this on Facebook:

"Today on the 12th (12 days before everything is due) the additional 1,200 I needed this past week, that dwindled down to $605.23 yesterday is paid 100% and I am fully funded for Haiti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you love surprises?! God gives the BEST ones!"

This is what I now see on my Managed Missions Account:


He has amazed me again and again through the love of many...
who's hearts have been moved to give. 

How can you ever begin to say thank you? 


I could never do it all on my own.
It takes the whole Church.
The whole Body. 


He provided! 
From Texas to Australia and all over
my state of Michigan- He provided!

He is Faithful!
Thank You God! Thank You! Thank You!

From Above

Dessert my mom made- doesn't it look scrumptious?

Blueberries... yum!
There has been a beautiful big shift in the season...
 summer is full blown here in Michigan!
AND in the best ways!!!

*90 degree days*
*early morning sunshine and late, late sunsets*
(that take your breath away ;)
*popsicles*
*picnics*
*being by the water*
*BBQs*
*fireworks*

....SO much...

 I am so thankful to The Lord for it all!

Yes, even the hot weather...
 I would take a hot day over a cold one in a heartbeat. :)

But really no matter what the season.
No matter what the weather.
God is so good. 

His goodness is all around.

Today was the rainy kind of day, 
and yet there placed up in the sky
was a gorgeous rainbow for me to see.

Reminding me to look for His gifts everywhere 
because they are good and perfect,
truly from above. 

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."-James 1:17

The picture I took in my neighborhood. Can you see the rainbow?


"The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” -Genesis 9:16
