What has God done for you?

8) I was going though some of my folders today on the computor, and I came across this one that just reminded of Gods provisons for me and my husband when I felt I was to go to Mission School. So down below is a journal of what I had to face during some of those times and how God provided for us. Well  as my schooling has ended yesterday; and I finish the night class on Biblical Counseling; I had been able to reflect back and see where God has led me the last 4 months; and this is what I would like to share with you. When God put it on my heart; the desire to go back to school; I had no idea where, when or how. But isn't that like God? Always leading us to paths where we have no idea where we are going, or how are we going to get there? So; when my husband and I prayed about me going to the School of Evangelism; we prayed about it; looked over our incoming and out coming bills; and income, and decided it looked good on paper; so why not go for it! Not knowing that my husband was going to be taking a cut in pay when he got laid off of work with another  job that God had in mind; and the other things that was going to crop up as well. Needless to say; if we had any clue of the whole picture; we would not had signed me up for school! But God saw the whole picture! The first month of school was ok; no bumps, or brusies. But as I gotten more involved in the school; well things change financially to say the least. But God was right there with us. As I sign up by faith to take on additional night class ( the Biblical Counseling) that class I was able to take for free. ( the cost of the class was $90.00). Then God put it on someone's heart to sent $120 towards my tuition. And this was just the second month of schooling! Then the third month; as my husband and I was facing a deeper struggle with our finances, not only was  my car registration was due on my car; but hubby's transmission decided to go out on his car as well. Plus we had no food nor money in the our checking account; to even buy food much less gas. But God knows every one of our needs; and his word says he will supply it as well; and that he did. Less that 24 hours later; we had received some money in the mail from a sister in the Lord, who God put on her heart to do so. Then it was shortly after that; 3 days before my car tags were due; God but it on someone's else's heart; not that only paid for my car's registration, but help paid for hubby to go to the junk yard and get a transmission for his car. And looking for a transmission that would work for a car that was over 20 years old would be like a needle in a haystack you say? Not for our God; hubby found one in the first junkyard he was at; with even a FLEECE seat cover under the car where the transmission was! ( and now his car purr's like a kitten!) But still; God wasn't done with blessing us yet! As I was searching where it is where I feel God wants to lead me; I felt I am to continual with my schooling. So again God step up to the plate; and my next class I needed to take to pursue the counseling I feel God is calling me in; was going to cost me  another $120.00. But that has been taking care of as well and I don't have to paid for that class either. Also I forgot to mention; some one else came along side of me and gave me $200.00 to puts towards the tuition due for the third month! And last but not least, some one has also send in another $240.00 for this last month of tuition as well. And again; facing a bare cupboard; we had some one give us $40.00 in gift certificates from a grocery store. And on top of that; some one giving hubby $60.00, so we can buy each other a Christmas present as well. Please don't take me wrong; I am very human; and there was times I stress out . But to quote a song from a women's group call Mary Mary. " I can't give up now, I come to far from where I started from. No it may not be easy; the road where He leads me; but I just can't believe he brought me this way; just to leave me!" So what I want to do is to encourage you, some of you have been facing harder struggles; some of you are tired of the road you are on. Some of you feel that this road has no end. But just praise Him! And he will show you as well; the He didn't bring you all this way; just to leave you! hubby and I  have no idea where my money for my mission trip is going to come from. It is less than 2 weeks away. But I have decided; that this is the season just to praise Him. satan would love to use this time to put fear and doubt in our minds. But I know that the God I love and serve; has the whole picture in his hand. And for now; I am just going to praise Him. And I pray that you can do that too!   P.S; the day I left for mission trip, God bless me with $100.00, and that money got stretch for the whole month I was gone, plus hading to deal with tooth problems while I was in Mexico, providing the funds for that and a really good dentist (who wasn't save) who only charge me with what his cost was to pull a tooth and put me back on the road!    What a awesome God we serve! :D :D
