In His hands.

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26

When I read this passage, the word of God humbles my heart, because it helps me to realize that I am experiencing first hand the goodness of God, through His people.  

Nick and I do not own a house, do not have a car, we had an RV that allowed us to go from here to Oklahoma and meet really good people and learned the good things they are doing for the kingdom of God. At the same time we met other people who needed some one to talk to and they needed to be heard.

As we read again what Matthew wrote in scripture: "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?--  His words put a new perspective in my heart.  God values each one of us.  God really, really, really values us... yes, you and me!  We just need to recognize it and accept the fact that we mean something good to Him, we are His creation and that is the reason why He sent His Son Jesus.

Often times, we have listened to the wrong voice.  Just the way Adam and Eve did in the garden. We need to learn more about what the Word of God says about His love for us. He wants the best for His children.  

There are many things in this world that I do not understand.  However, what I know is... that since 2001 when we publicly acknowledged God, we have been blessed.  We have had our ups and downs, but God has not turned away from us.  Usually we are the ones that move away from Him.  

In the last 8 years that we have been serving God full time we have done 2 walks across America for Christ. This is our third. We have had 4 RVs donated to our ministry to be able to accomplish these walks. God has touched people because we have been working on being obedient.  

He sent us to Japan to touch the life of a young person... a little person, so he could get the medical attention he needed for his back.

We were able to go to the Holy Land and Nick baptized  about 25 people or so in the Jordan River, we also did the 3 Biblical presentations and people were touched because of the power of the Holy Spirit.

I am not sharing this to show you how lucky we are or to say we are world travelers. Most of the time, we do not know what we are doing or where we are going...we just rely on His direction and love.  At times it feels scary because sometimes we want to take control. Sometimes we try to get ahead of God.

You may say....but you have nothing! Yes, you are right, we have nothing physical, but God is giving us what we need.  He has provided all our needs and many of our wants too!  He is a loving Father.   

We also read in Scripture: If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!  Matthew 7:11 What He has done for us, He will do for you. God does not have favorites. He loves you as He loves us. Don't be afraid to ask Him for what you want. Present your dreams to Him. Believe and do not doubt in your heart and He will do it for you!  Give your heart to Him today, do not delay and begin to acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path.
