What happens when you travel to a foreign land (Cody, Wyoming) with no money, no place to dwell, a pregnant wife, a 2 year old son, and all you have is a promise from God and faith?
You get to experience the wild, ineffable, love of God!
This is a re-cap of our experience of God's paths dripping with abundance in 2010:
. We were given over $4,000 through different people at different times.
. For three months we were afforded the opportunity to live in a newer 5th wheel trailer for free (after sleeping in the car for 2 weeks).
. A place to rent in the valley of Cody, Wyoming surrounded by the breathtaking mountains.
. Everything a home could need was given to us the day we moved in; kitchen supplies, couches, beds, linens, etc...
. I was given 3 raises in one year.
. I was given a promotion at work.
. A wardrobe of like-new maternity clothes was given to Jessica.
. Over a years supply of clothes for both Abigail and Samuel.
. We were given one of the most wonderful dogs in the world, "Toby." After we picked him up from the shelter we found out his name means God is good!
. We have been abundantly blessed with the reception of Abigail Grace-Ann (Pure Joy).
. After a previous c-section Jessica was able to have Abigail naturally.
. God made a way for us to go to Chicago for Heather and Jay's wedding, California for Thanksgiving, and Missouri for Christmas.
. Jessica was on the worship team at church and was given the opportunity to lead worship for a ministry that provides food for low-income families once a week.
. We were given a van and the title is in our name.
. Our children have both been used in amazing ways in the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit.
. Jessica and myself have had more of the manifest presence of Jesus in this last year than all of the years of our lives combined.
. We have had multiple days and nights of outrageous laughing in the joy of the Lord. In many ways He has used this to rescue us at different times.
. Two separate people have told me in the last year that I am the most blessed person they have met in their lifetime.
We can do nothing without Christ, but in and through Him we experience and radiate the Glory of God.
What are you thankful for?
