OMG is so GOOD!

God is amazing... okay, so we know that right? But I must say it again- My God is SO VERY GOOD!!! We have been so blessed!!! Today, we were given two HUGE blessings to help with our trip. On top of that the church gave an offering of over $750 to give to the missionary family we will be working with in Colombia!!!

We hope to raise a total of $1000 before we leave on Saturday, but even if we don't, the money collected will be appreciated by the missionaries! During the most recent trip (last week) back to the States, Ben connected them with some other Pastors who donated some sound equipment for them. The trip before that, we helped them raise money through our church and other local churches to help obtain a piece of property to use as a daycare in the day and turn into a church in the evening. They also have grown from one to three churches! Ben will get to preach several times at different places. It will be neat to see all these things and come back and give report to the people of what God is doing!

Oh, and let me tell you about this WILD dream I had a few days ago! I dreamed I was greeting the church in Colombia in SPANISH! And I was sharing a simple message to them using some Spanish and some using a translator. In my dream, I was fluent, and the message was significant and people responded. Am I just excited or will God give me the words to speak? I am not fluent... I am not a public speaker. It will have to be God. But if opportunity presents, I am ready and super-psyched!

Our blessings: One family gave us their gas card to use on our road trip to Miami and back!!! Super cool! How thoughtful! And another family blessed us with $1000 check to help with the financial end of things! What is really cool is that we didn't ask for these things, but people gave out of the desires of their hearts to help. We stepped out on faith and God provided! He ALWAYS does, doesn't He?
