“I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.”-Psalm 89:1
I have always known that God is faithful, but I can now say that I have witnessed His faithfulness to a level I have never experienced before. The past year has been filled with many ups and downs and many times when I had no idea how the Lord was going to provide. Well, I am here to say that I serve a faithful God who hears His children and provides for their needs.
I knew that I needed to move to Gainesville to begin working in August, but as of recent I still had nowhere to live and no one to live with. This was obviously a slight dilemma. I always had a peace that God was going to work it out, but as August inched closer, I started to get a little nervous not knowing how everything was going to come together. This is where His faithfulness comes in (or should I say continues).
The Lord recently provided me with a roommate, but the problem was that she would not need a roommate until December. Well, that gave me the roommate, but I still had four months to fend for myself. Well, an apartment that is normally rented to AIM employees just happened to come open beginning the exact time that I had planned to move. Not only that, but it is at a price I can afford and it includes everything that I normally would have to pay for separately. From having a place to wash my clothes to cable, it provides me with everything So, I went from having no one to live with and no place to live to having it all worked out down to the exact date I needed to move. I am in awe of how God has brought all this together, and best of all it had nothing to do with me!
I must say it is hard leaving everything I know behind. It is not a natural thing to leave everything that is comfortable for the unknown. That being said, how comforting it is to know that no matter where I go I serve a Savior who will not only supply my needs, but will also provide some of my wants as well. *(See Matt. 6:25-34)
Praise Him for His faithfulness…I am truly overwhelmed!
For His Glory,

Ps. 56:3
*Matthew 6:25-34
25“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
