To God be the glory....

On a regular basis I feel much like the Israelites in my walk with the Lord. One minute I am following the Lord regularly and then the next I am forgetting Him and going off on my own. Yet the Lord in his grace and mercy brings me back to Himself.

On a regular basis I say in my head "God will provide" but yet in my heart I am doubting the Lord and trying to "figure" it out on my own. In those times the Lord steps in to remind me "I AM that I AM" My favorite name for God is Jehovah Jirah - My Provider.

Tonight the Lord has once again said LOUD and clear to me "I AM"!

Many of you know that our church is in the process of building a new building. God has been all over every part of this project! He has kept our church in unity through it, he has provided building teams willing to come free of charge, he has provided. As those of you who have been in a building project may know - the money is always the toughest (or so we think) part of the building process. However - God has PROVIDED!

Long story short - the church purchased 9 acres awhile back as an investment and thinking they would build there one day. However - our church decided to build on our current property and to sell the 9 acres as a resource for the funding. Now mind you - we decided this just in February in an economy that is falling! We decided to sell the property for somewhere between $250,000 to $35000. Two weeks ago, we got a verbal offer of $250.000. So our pastor scheduled a business meeting for tonight to vote on it.

YESTERDAY....we got another offer IN WRITING for $350,000 to close JUNE 15!!!! Tonight we voted to accept the offer and PRAISED the LORD for HIS PROVISION! This is NOTHING any of us had done - we only started marketing the property a few weeks ago....

Thank you Lord for reminding ME that YOU are SO much bigger than an economy! You are so much bigger than anything we can imagine! There aren't words to express my heart right now but I am so thankful that MY GOD IS STILL ON HIS THRONE!!!!
