Over-flowin

Can't believe its almost the end of October!?!?!  Kinda been MIA technology wise, sorry! I spent two months in WI and Chicago visiting family & friends and raising support. Now I've been at Sara's for almost three weeks & will be here till the end of October when I move up to Richmond! I've been keeping busy helping out at Sara's church and entertaining the neighbor kids. Its been a crazy year of learning, traveling, playing, reading, doctors, and friends. Its also been a hard year, but definitely faith strengthening! Two big ways are in health & provisions. Many people have prayed for so long about my crazy health and God has always provided strength & encouragement through the pains. I'm a big believer in God using bad things for good and His faithfulness in being strong when we're weak. I am also very thankful for the latest finding of my gluten allergy and how much it has helped! This is the best I've felt in sixteen years! Definitely the answer to many faithful prayers! Another big way that my faith has been strengthened is reflecting on how God continues to provide!!! I've seen it my whole life, but through a microscope this past year! After leaving Chicago: selling my car (which allowed me to pay my dad for it completely & be debt free!), downsizing my expenses to a phone bill & health insurance, and ready to see what God had in store! I am amazed at how God provided in big ways and in the small; how He used supporters, babysitting jobs and generous friends. He provided in abundance! I never went without and was blessed beyond measure!!! So here's my attempt to "thank you Lord , in front of all the people. To sing your praises among the nations. For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds!" Psalm 57:9-10  May I always live in over-flowin gratitude!!!
