How God Has Answered Your Prayers

This past weekend was our garage sale.  Even though the heat index was 106 or so, we praise the Lord for His provision in allowing almost all of our big items to sell!  For those who not have not yet heard, God allowed us to raise enough money to cover the enrollment expenses for the upcoming school year.  We received word yesterday, that the school is willing to work with us and our payment proposal for the year as well.  As a result, the plan right now is to send ALL the children back to school for the 2015-2016 school year!  Now that the Lord has made a way for all the children to attend, we are trusting that He will provide for us the funds necessary to make the payments.  We are definitely stepping out in a huge leap of faith, but know that God is leading us in this direction. 

Thank you for praying for my friend who had some suspicious test results.  After further testing this week, she was given the news that all was clear!  Praise the Lord!

I found out yesterday that my time of babysitting may soon be coming to a close.  There is a chance that next week could be the last week of babysitting as her mother may not have any more work until school starts up again.  I pray that the Lord will provide for this family as she is a single mother.  Although this job hasn't been a big paying job for me, I am so thankful for how the Lord stretched the dollars for us by helping us find some good deals for school supplies.  As a result, most of the school supplies have been able to be purchased. 

Our garden appears to be growing well, and we were able to pick and enjoy some tomatoes and a cucumber yesterday.  The kids are so excited about being able to eat something that we have grown....somehow it even tastes better. :)  However, we are not the only ones who seem to be enjoying the crops....we are competing with Peter Rabbit! :)

Please continue to pray for Anne as she finishes out camp this week.  We all look forward to her coming home on Friday.  On Sunday, we are going to our church to get our room ready for the week of Vacation Bible School.  I am so excited to see how the room and hall will look once we get it all decorated.  Please pray for the hearts of the children who attend this week, that they will be responsive to the Lord's leading in  their lives.  Please pray for me and my helpers (Anne is one of them) as we have a time to teach the children.  We pray that we will be tools that the Lord can use in their lives to bring them closer to Him.

Today Jaydon turned 23 months.  We took several pictures while he was playing today, but here are a couple of my favorites:

Our prayer for this precious boy is that he will see his need to have a personal relationship with Jesus at a young age!


In closing, without giving details I would like to ask you to pray for Skeeter as he has an important meeting tomorrow evening. 

Thank you for joining with our family in prayer!
