God is so amazing!

We have had one trial after the next the last six years and it is safe to say that the Lord has confidence in us that we can handle it! He is strengthening our faith and stretching us...sometimes beyond our belief and while in the moment it hurts and we think we can not bare one more minute of pain...His LOVE, GRACE, HOLINESS and STRENGTH over comes us and brings this amazing amount of comfort and peace. For the last two years hubby and I have leaned on God more than we ever have and our faith and love for Him have grown so much. We have memorized James 1:2-8 and we often recite it to one another...it is an incredible passage of scripture. As we have have persevered from one trial to the next it has become easier and easier to have JOY during the face of trials. Not joy as in happiness but the kind of joy, contentment that in no matter the circumstance we will rejoice and praise Him! We have our moments that we have to keep looking to Him and reminding us that He is control and for that we grateful that He is in control and that He Reigns! Moving here has been right on track for the Lord's plan in our lives. We know without a doubt that this was His plan and we have seen Him at work in our lives in unbelievable ways. We have stepped out of comfort zones and we are ministering those who know Jesus, who don't know Jesus and those who want to know Jesus deeper. We are being shaped into the mold of Christ ourselves and we are surrendering to His plan. With that said we have really upset the enemy...seriously...the enemy has decided to target us and we keep holding onto scripture and our faith and keep shouting...GOD YOU ARE AWESOME, GOD YOU ARE AMAZING, WE LIVE FOR YOU- AN AUDIENCE OF ONE!
Today was just another attack from Satan. Hubby was on his way to bible study when his car died, wouldn't start and was making a horrible sound. (Finances are tight...the tightest they have ever been.) Anyway, he got picked up went to his bible study and we just thought great the car is done or this is going to cost a fortune! But when he came back to pick it up; it started and he was able to drive home!!! AWESOME NEWS! Unfortunately the problem began again, but praise God he made it here. Hubby called the mechanic and it sounds like the fuel pump. But the coolest part is that God is faithful and He always provides. When we got home tonight I checked the mail and we had a refund check! We weren't expecting this; just another way God shows His faithfulness and that He WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR NEVER FORSAKE US! It will be amazing to see if the refund check matches the estimate to fix the blazer! Powerful stuff...couldn't hold it in...I just had to share our heart and give God all the GLORY! Thank you Lord for everything! WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ON THIS EARTH!
