An Update On the Blessings!
I realized I haven’t posted an update on how God is continuing to bless us as we continue to give cheerfully each week. Here is a recap:
The first week, we gave an offering that was beyond our tithe of 10%. Withing 48 hours, a new client called and I earned five times what I gave that Sunday.
The next week, we gave the same amount and I tithed off my earnings from my new client. Within 24 hours, I had another call from an old client who had about five hours of work for me. I ended up earning 15 times what we gave on Sunday. On top of that, some dear friends of ours gave us their daybed that was in storage…with a mattress! That was one of the things we were praying about for our foster children.
The next week, we gave the same offering again and I tithed off my earnings as well. Within 48 hours, my husband got a call from a church where he used to lead worship. They needed him for the next two weeks…earning another 15 times what we gave on Sunday. That same day, I got a call from a current client that needs a little extra work done this month…earning another 10 times what we gave that week.
It is now the beginning of a new month. I now get excited about writing that offering check each week as I pray that God will continue to give us the heart of a cheerful giver and continue to bless us by the measure in which we give. If you haven’t done this yet, I highly encourage it! Reread Luke 6:38!
For the month of February, we are praying that Josh’s annual raise is beyond our expectations and we’re praying that the Lord will provide us with a stand up freezer for the garage which will help me store extra food when we start receiving foster children.
