I have been experiencing God's faithfulness in so many ways lately. What a wonderful God I serve. He is faithful in all He does and says. There could be no better God. Last August several at our church started praying for 45 more children, aged pre-school to 6th grade, to join us by August 2007. We have a very small group of children to start with and they need encouragement by being with others. Almost every week some more children come. Though the "joining" part is still being worked out, there are still definite traces of God's work. We have also been praying for a little longer that we would be able to help those in our neighborhood who are searching for God. We want to reach out to those who are reaching out to God. In December we had a prayer walk and prayed for specific buildings and streets in our church building's neighborhood. Yesterday a young woman showed up. She had been walking past the church last week and felt drawn to it. Then when she came in yesterday morning she said chills went up her spine. One lady assured her that was because she is supposed to be here, an answer to prayer. She lives on one of those streets. A friend with ALS went to the doctor this past week. The disease is progressing so slowly and perhaps a cure is within sight. New drugs are being developed and she is trying one now. We continue to ask God for complete healing for her and all those who have this tortuous disease. Yesterday, I went to check the oil level in our tank. We heat the house with fuel oil. The level was at least as high as last time, if not higher. I haven't bought any oil in well over a month. I can only imagine that someone has paid for oil for us- though we have not seen any delivered- OR God has supplied the oil as He did for Hanakkuh. Either way it is a blessing and a miracle that we accept with all praise for the Father. Our God is an awesome God, He reigns in Heaven above, with wisdom, power and love. Our God is an awesome God!
