Again and again I have found my Jesus so very faithful. This past month we have moved after a four year waiting upon the Lord.
Then suddenly one day last October I knew it was time to place my foot in the sand and draw the line of demarcation of the past four years and move forward into the new. There was a new geographic place God was preparing for my husband and I.
Douglas my husband has a sweet and most humorous personality. God knew what He was doing when He put us together He knew there would be many times when a bit of laughter would be needed as daily medicine to get through the "rough rocky" roads in life.
Being called by the Lord to minister the Gospel "everywhere I go" is my personal field of ministry. In my home I have "House of Prayer" gatherings. But I especially love the "market places" of life where I plant many seeds by reaching out to those who would never step into a church building.
Jesus is my "first love" and I know and trust that "He" who ordains my footsteps through life's continual winding road will ever be faithful to place me wherever He needs me to be.
Going back to our house. We were ready! Long overdue for four own home although I loved our condo on the lake with it's many amenities but "It was time" to leave. I knew God had a special home just for us. One particular house we really thought was ours "fell through" due to "deadly" asbestos within its walls. Abandoning this home we fell in love with was hard but we kept going forward with new excitement. As we entered back into our mission field to find our special embassy for God we discovered they were either to expensive or we just weren't in love with it. This had happened over and over again but were not about to get "discouraged." I knew deep inside in my Spirit our special home was coming and was soon to appear. The part that made it such a challenge was finding one that was in good shape and in a good location in an affordable "price range" Deep down I knew God was preparing something very special for us.
Our "budget" brings me to the time in my life when I had chosen "not" to go the way of the world any longer by making the best decision of my life "to follow Jesus". by answering "yes" to the "honored" call of God many years earlier. Even though my career in the beauty business was greatly thriving, "the personal" call of God on my life outweighed everything standing in it's way as the burden for "souls" Jesus gave me became my very own "Heartbeat" too.
Doug and I have learned what it means to walk by faith and not by sight. This means we have received much much more "bountifully in the realms of faith" than anyone could even imagine in the realms of this present world. And Yes! our "needs" have more than bountifully met as well! Thank you "Jesus". "My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus"!
Well, we found "Our House!" Just the day after the one we thought was perfect for us had fallen through "Our Home Appeared" on the multiple listings on my e-mail. There it was. The perfect house right around the corner just waiting for us, but Gods timing wasn't quite perfected yet. The other house we thought was our "dream home" had to fall through first before the one God for us could appear. The next step was to make an offer. With 5 offers already on it we had to really pray for Gods wisdom. We made the offer and "It was accepted". Praise God!! It was ours!
Yes " Again and Again " Just like so very many times before when things seem to look hopeless and gloomy we pray and the Lord shows us His faithfulness through His amazing love, Help, and direction.
Unlike the world, "Jesus" never Fails! He will always be there for us "Again and Again" No matter what.
So today "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, In all your ways "Acknowledge Him" And He "will" bring "whats right for you" to pass"
Psalm 17:5
Uphold my steps in your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.I have called upon You for You "will" hear me Oh my God.
Psalm 91:1
He who dwells in the secret place of the most High God shall abide in the shadow of the almighty.
