Last night we attended our prayer meeting at
Southwest Community Church. As I was praying I remembered a casual comment someone made last week regarding our situation
(Nick and I being homeless) I said to myself, "That thought had never entered my mind before." I always have been feeling totally blessed. In fact, I feel like Nick and I have many mansions because of the hospitality and the love you have been pouring on us all across America. Just like the song says, "...and crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea."
Since we stated these journeys in 2001, we have had challenging times, but I have had the tendency of always looking at every situation as a way to bless God and as a blessing from Him. No matter what I have or what I have lacked, my focus has always been the goodness of God and Jesus Christ over my life.
In Scripture we read:
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Phil 4:12 -- I have never been hungry. God has always put people like You in my path to give me love and to embrace me. Yes, I have been frustrated, afraid, concerned ...you name it. However, God always sees me through every problem...and why? It is not luck, because luck runs out but the blessings of God never stop flowing! CHRIST is the Solution to every problem, challenge and situation; Jesus is the Answer to every question!
