God Continues to Answer Our Prayers...

This morning God provided the remaining money that we needed to pay Kirby's vet bills!  We cannot begin to tell you how amazing our God is and how only he is able to work out the details of our lives!  The weight that is lifted from our shoulders having the remaining vet bill covered is tremendous but the fact that our God met the need as he said he would is worth more than money.  It is easy to trust God when everything is going well but often when things begin to go in ways we don't understand it's more difficult to be patient and wait to see how God is going to work.  How is God going to work?  In HIS own time and in ways we humans cannot even imagine.

If you are waiting for prayers to be answered in your life don't give up.  Take a good look and be sure you are in the middle of God's will.  If you are and you are praying that he would have the final say in all your decisions...you can rest assured that not only is God in control but that he is only going to provide you with what is best for your life.  Is it going to be what you want every time?  Probably not.  That's the amazing part about having a heavenly father to take care of us.  He is able and willing to provide so much more than we his children can even ask for.  I'm so glad God doesn't always answer my prayers.  I am only human and cannot even word a prayer to equal the the wealth of promises God has for me.

Today Russ and I stand amazed in his presence and marvel how he could love us so much that he sent his only son to die on a cross for our sins.  We are humbled that he has adopted us as joint heirs with Christ and that one day we will stand before him in heaven redeemed because of his love for humanity.  You often hear the saying "You can't out give God" and nothing could be more true!

John 3:16-17  New International Version (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
