Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!

I had the complete joy the other day to answer a prayer as it was being said...

The other day at work I was sitting downstairs doing some paperwork and I overhead the woman in the next desk on the phone fighting with someone. I had overhead this conversation for a few days but this was the first time she got so mad that she slammed the phone down and hung up on the person...

The conversation was about her not being paid for the last 3 weeks. A single christian mom living with friends I knew I could hear her praying as she slammed down the phone... God please just help me. Then I got the push and the shove from above telling me you can answer this one for me.

I went up stairs gathered all the cash I had on me out of my envelopes that I set up for Dave Ramsey. Then I tried calling my husband to ask him about loaning her the money and he didn't answer. Sitting here debating on if I should just go ahead and do it without my husband... Into my office walks my husband with flowers and candy for no reason what so ever. God does have perfect timing!

The joy and happiness of being able to answer a prayer that God sent me to answer is so amazing!!!! I want to do it more. I want to do it everyday!

God had this planned for so long. I can clearly see everything leading up to this one moment now. Me not wanting to keep my job but God telling me no this is where I want you. My husband and I being able to go to FPU and have the money to loan to this woman. Me going downstairs to do paperwork that I would normally do upstairs.

Then the real kicker... Telling her you know I would not have been able to help you a few months ago... But because of God and FPU I was able to help you. Then her saying you know my Dad has been trying to get me to stick with FP for a long time.

Faith sees the invisible,

believes the incredible and receives the impossible!

Hello.... hello.... hello

Do I hear an echo in here? I haven't posted in a while but only because I have been so busy. Life has been crazy. I am searching and seeking places to take a rest and God is helping me find those spots when I need them.

Around the first of the month I started a program to read the whole Bible in 90 days. I am almost a quarter of the way done and I am doing really good. I find myself having a hard time reading the Old Testament. Although I find it to be the most interesting part. I still can not figure that one out.

School is going good. James and I decided that we are going to both remove the pressure from me to be a 4.0 student. That is good because I got 25 points off of a paper the other day because it was too religious... Ok it was about estate taxes and it was too religious... Yep explain that one to me and we both will have a clue. lol

Life is going good. James and I signed up to help out at the kids summer camp this year for church. The girls are going to be gone for the summer so it will be a great time for us to be able to serve. I am really looking forward to it. James and I met at camp when we were kids so it will be neat to be back in that environment together again.

Psalm 40:1

I got this verse in an email the other day. I get daily verses from a few different sources. But for some reason this is the one that I held on too.

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.

~ Psalm 40:1


Sometimes I feel like I am holding my breathe waiting for the Lord to help me. Then when He does it takes my breathe away. Just to know that He is crazy in love with me and that He is listening to my cry.

Sometimes life takes you by surprise. You think you are going one way and then the next moment all of that changes.

I heard someone the other day talking about God filtering. Because whatever is going on in our life has to go through His hands first. So everything that we have going on in our life is God filtered. Sometimes we don't really like what He has filtered out for us.

Sometimes we think that we know the people that we love and then they show us an old side of them that hasn't been around in a while. Something that you thought that God had taken from that persons life. May be all things are not God filtered???? I don't know I don't have the answers.

I am so looking forward to my Foundation in Ministry class tonight. Continuing on my quest to find the thing in life that God has gifted me to do. One day it will be nice to be at peace.
