Our cup runneth over

Why?

1. Today we received word that our church is going to help us in a big way financially with the attorney fees that we have accrued here in IL. We have been praying diligently that God would provide the means to meet this bill due May first and HE HAS!! Praise the LORD!!

2. Over the weekend our friends told us that they would like us to set up a bank account where people can donate to help us with the other attorney fees accrued in AZ (about 5times what they are in IL). We also learned that they want to do fundraisers in our honor. How humbling and awesome!!! They have also asked that we post it on my blog so they can send people who are interested here to get the link. So on the right hand side of my blog who will see a donate button.

3. We have small group members who have spoken on our behalf. A family who is our "meat providers"--thank you!!

4. We are learning of untold numbers of people we were not aware of praying us through these tough times as well as who held us up before the Lord during the worst days of our trial--THANK YOU!! I don't even know many of you, but THANK YOU!

5. Our church family in AZ also has an account set up for us and we have been truly blessed by them--THANK YOU!

6. The list could go on and I KNOW I am missing people, I am SORRY! But know that we are THANKFUL! And thank God for everyone who is walking beside us in this journey!!!!

We are OVERWHELMED by the love of God and support of EVERYONE who has stood by us, is standing by us and will hear our story and praise Jesus with us. God is SO very good and He loves us very much. We are learning so very much to trust God not only with our lives but with our "smaller" needs to. Life is so short, to be cherished and to be lived 100% for God, we are learning, growing and hopefully representing the superiority of lives lived in the hand of God. Words cannot express how greatful we are!! Words don't do justice how completely overcome we are.


Thank you Jesus!!
Thank you friends and family.
Thank you Church and Church family!
