His ways...Isaiah 55:8-9

Good Knight! It's been so long since our latest update on here. I should be ashamed of myself. I intend on doing a better job of utilizing this tool to display how Jesus is impacting our lives. Besides, who doesn't need to journal and get it all out from time to time?

We are now right in the middle of a lot, but who isn't? Today, I got to see how God is providing for us in a super fantastic way. We knew that the time was coming for us to get a new laptop. We have just been making due with the one that we have. It seems to get slower and slower, while new updated programs seem to get faster and cause my little Vaio to work harder.

It's tough now. We both are working from home on preparing for our overseas move. Without jobs, we were gonna need a miracle to be able to afford a new computer. We priced a few and did a little research, but didn't have the money just felt stinky about building up debt. Who knows, God has the power to keep this baby going until He provides another one. We thought that maybe we could try and save up some dough in the next few weeks, with massage and fix it projects, to get one. We even thought that we could wait until we were home on furlough after 2 years. We knew that buying one overseas was probably out of the question. We would have access to a limited selection and outrageous pricing in eastern Europe. I was sort of getting bummed. I knew that this laptop was gonna be my way of communicating with all of our supporters, friends, and FAMILY. I was getting bogged down pretty heavily just thinking of not being able to talk to my family, that I've always been so close to. I had started thinking that maybe God was gonna need me to focus on my work more and "wean" me off of them for a while. All these thoughts, feelings, and situations were pretty hard to face then today happened....

I got a call out of the blue. One of our supporters had heard of our need and God spoke to them. They are gonna give us a brand new laptop. They have already ordered and paid for it. They even paid for all of the software that we will need. They have no idea how big of a deal this is. First off, I know what a sacrifice it will be for them financially. Secondly, personally, it was God's way of speaking to me. He has actually been listening to my pleas, problems, tears, and sometimes whining.

This isn't an isolated case ya'll. He is working and listening and formulating fresh new ways to pop Himself into your lives too. Our God is the Father of logic, but He is also SUPERnatural. He does things His own way outside of how we see could are even possible to happen. His ways aren't our ways. His thoughts aren't our thoughts. If He didn't choose such an extraordinary way of meeting our need, we all would do a pretty poor job of exclaiming His greatness. He is our Savior, when no other conceivable way would work. Our God is big, audacious, worthy, and hungry for our attention! Thank you God for finding such extravagant ways of loving on us!
