Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision - Psalm 144:13

A couple days ago, we looked at our ministry bank account and we only had $57.00.  We have gone 1400 miles of our 3,300 mile journey and as I looked back to the bank account I said to God, "What are we going to do we still have 1900 miles to go."

My first instinct was to grab my phone and send a text message to our goddaughter to see if she could go check our mail box for donations.  As I grabbed the phone I sensed in my spirit a voice that said, "Are you believing what you see or you are going to believe in My provision?" 

I thought to myself, "What? But there is only $57.00 in the account." So the voice said again, "Are you believing what you see or you are going to believe in My provision?"   Nick and I did not talk about it but we both had the same feeling.  We both wanted to call Jess. 

What were we going to do?  We knew we had couple checks out there and we did not want to bounce anything. Nick asked me to transfer $70.00 from our savings to the BOC (Breath of Christ Ministries) account. We know we're do not supposed to do this, but we thought it was an emergency and BOC could take it as a loan. So, I made the transfer.


The next day, we walked to McDonough, GA.  In the middle of the day we took an afternoon break to stay away from the heat.  As I was taking a nap, Nick's voice woke me up.  He was talking with a Pastor from the First Baptist Church of Mc Donough.  Pastor Tom, took us in the church office to meet Senior Pastor Charles.  

As we talk to them, Pastor Charles invited us to come back on Wednesday night, and do the presentation of Zacchaeus. We were sooo excited! God was providing for us....again!  That night after the presentation, we checked our email and we heard from Jess who said that we had received donations totaling over $700!


We were sooo amazed because God had kept his promise to us and had provided the means for us to buy ink for the printer, pay our phone bills & gasoline for the RV. God 's timing is perfect.  Wednesday night came and God met our needs once again. 

The next day Nick was walking towards Covington, GA. We have not had much shoulder on the road, so what we have been doing is: Nick goes ahead of me and as soon as we finds a place for me to park, he calls me and I drive over.  He found a place by a Waffle House and when I got there, he was talking to a guy. His name was Matt. Well as they both approached the RV, we found out he is the pastor of Greater Love Church, and they invited us to come over and do the Zacchaeus presentation in his church Sunday night. Once again, God provided for our expenses and a wonderful time of fellowship.  I love when God ministers to people through the presentation. It is good to see how His Spirit moves in the hearts of His children.


As we go in this journey, we want to be obedient and to trust in God. We know that He will take care of us in every area of our lives.

Well, last night, we stopped at the Trinity Baptist Church of Athens, for midweek service. Pastor Jim was very nice and he let us park at the church for the night.


After service, we went to the RV, turned the water heater on, expecting to have a wonderful shower.  Well as I got in the shower and we had no water!  Nick went out and we found out our water was all over the parking lot!

When I went to get my towel, I noticed that we had water on our bedroom carpet. Nick got our little wet-vac and started to suck up the water.  As we were working on it.  Pastor Jim came over to check on us and he and his wife invited us into their home so we could take a shower.


We were very thankful as it had been very hot and humid all day. I am glad I am a child of God because He even cares about providing a shower for us.

Well, this morning, Nick called the RV service center to see if they could take us in. A gentleman by the name of Dave said we could bring it in right away and they would take a look at it! We drove about twenty miles to Auburn, GA and Apalachee, RV took us right in.  The problem was that one of our hoses got loose and about one hundred of our DVD's (in the basement of the RV) got wet. The good news was that the water pump worked fine.

They also fixed one of our turn signals as well as hose from the refrigerator that was clogged up. The total cost... $1.75!!! ....and a gentleman named Tracey paid for that!!  They were soo gracious and in a little over an hour we were ready to go.  We praise God because our barns are always filled with every kind of provision. God never leaves us nor forsakes us. We are grateful that God is merciful and faithful. We serve a great God. My Father is a Righteous Father....and....He loves us.
