God is sooo good, isn't He? I've never been more in awe of the awesomeness (if that's a word) of the God that we serve. In the past couple of weeks we have been rained on so much with blessings that I can truly say my cup overflows! For starters, someone in our church has been blessing us by buying our dinner on Wednesday nights for the past couple of weeks. Even if we weren't able to make it to dinner for various reasons, the meal would be paid for and Trent would bring it home...that in turn would become Thursday nights dinner...then, someone or somegroup in our church collected a love offering that was given to us on the Wednesday before the 1st of May...well, the amazing thing is that May 1st was the 1st day that we were not going to have a regular paycheck from Trent. The money that was collected in conjunction with Trent's unemployment will get us through the next couple of months! Then, on Thursday a lady from my work came in and said that she heard I was needing some formula and she had a diaper bag full of samples as well as a case of 24-8oz. pediasures for Brayden! As if that wasn't already enough, Trent was offered two different tickets to our men's conference at church, so we decided that God wanted him there and on top of the blessings from the message itself, sure enough Trent's ticket was drawn for one of the two doorprizes which one was for $50 and the other for $100 and you guessed it...Trent got the $100 door prize!!! It has just been absolutely amazing! Well, you thought the blessings were over (and so did we), but then we went out Saturday night (with $20 that a wonderful man at church gave Trent and said for us to have a date night) and we went to the Gwinn. Braves game with another couple and as I was telling her about all the blessings and the formula, etc. she asked what kind we used and guess what...She had a can left over from her daughter that was the same as what Asher is taking...she said they had kept saying they were going to it take to a food bank, but kept forgetting it, so she just gave it to me (along with several jars of baby food)! Putting the formula thing in perspective...we have been given enough formula now that we will not have to buy anymore formula (Asher will probably not even use all of what we were given!!!!)
Please be in prayer for our family. Trent has two potential part-time ministry opportunities. One is at our current church, but moving up and leading the college and career and the other is at Mars Hill Baptist Church leading the youth. We are currently not sure which way God is leading us, but ask everyone to be in prayer for us. I have never felt stronger that God took Trent's job away so that we would learn to depend more on Him and so that he could open up the opportunities for Trent to be where He wants him to be...in the ministry.
Thank you in advance for your prayers!
God Is Good!!!!
