Interesting note

So finances are always a big worry when doing ministry, but I felt strongly that I was not to stress about the subject nor was I to push on people for finances. I didn't understand why especially when I know that the scripture says "Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find". Of course that's not really talking about finances, but about God. Ask to know more about God, seek more of Him. Anywho... In January I was so stressed because I saw the finances were coming down to the wire. But GOD, He knows what I need when I need it and provided just in time.

Despite the fact that I knew it was there I freaked out on God and just blew up at him saying, "WHY do you always have to wait until the very last minute? Why can't you give me what I need before I'm empty?" I sound like a whiny little brat don't I? :) Well, God came in during my rage and said, "Why does it matter? Why does it matter that I wait till the last minute, don't you trust me?" The honest answer to that one was, "No". I saw what I thought was the last minute come and go, but it wasn't the last minute. I thought God won't provide for me, but He's God He can't not provide for his daughter. I mean honestly it is in his name "Faithful, provider, good, love, truth" All of which go to show you that He will do what He says He will do. AMEN!

Through all of this I learned that I have to stop looking at my circumstances to determine whether or not I can trust Him. I have to look at his name and his character to determine how I view Him. (I mean I knew it, but now I KNOW it) Praise the LORD!!
