m.i.r.a.c.l.e.s.

so i'm a bit of a control freak - esp when it comes to money. i have it and i want to keep it. desperately. so much so that i wasn't tithing or giving to missions - just keeping it... "in case"...

as God does, He convicted the snot out of me, forced me to confess to my hmgrp, then proceeded to make me teach the next 4 wks in kids village about money and how EVERYTHING is God's.

but then, also as He does, He began to change my heart. i began to rejoice when i got a check because that meant i could tithe. and He brought disappointment when a friend of mine told me her mission trip was already paid for, so i couldn't support her.



however, there's a big black cloud called Mexico City that looms $13,000 above my head. and the worry and penny pinching has been itching to set in again.

on this past Saturday I had a garage sale with things donated from friends...not only did i meet a woman healed by Jesus from cancer (twice!) and an Indian missionary disowned by his family but who travels and owns an orphanage (hit a little close to home...) - God supplied $906.25 for my trip. which, don't even ask me how, because the only thing we really sold was clothes.

this morning i checked my fundraising account that's online and (not including the garage sale money), He TRIPLED the amount i had had from only 2 days ago. tripled. as in, 3 times bigger. tri-pled.




God has given me over $2000 in the past 2 days ... none from my own doing. it's almost like He wants me to let go of control?

The earth is the Lord's and everything in it. -Psalm24:1
