Treasures

As we are selling our things (earthly treasures) I am reminded of just how blessed we are.
God has poured out His blessings on us in every way and surely with earthly possessions.
I think we both have had a feeling of sadness and at one point I had a feeling of guilt in selling some of these things, in that God had blessed us with them and now we are selling them as though we where not thankful. But God spoke to my heart and reminded me of what He tells us in His word in Matthew chapter six about treasures, not to lay them up here on earth where moth and rust corrupt, where thieves can steal and I may add and depreciate to be worth almost nothing, but to lay your treasures in heaven where nothing can take them. We are not selling these things to make a profit but selling them to go and do what God has called us to do, When I'm reminded of that I have a feeling of satisfaction and a feeling of blessedness more than I can explain.
Things (treasures) are good but doing The Thing God has called you to do is the BEST.
Please pray that God will help us to continue on the journey. God Bless.

Wonderful

Well it's been another interesting week. We now have sold my car which has left us with one vehicle which we will be parting with this Saturday. With Donald's 24hr on and 24hr off it makes it hard for us with just one vehicle. But get this..... Thanks to some very loving friends of ours we have not suffered...they loaned us their personal truck for a while till we find another vehicle for me. And even more.....The family who is buying our truck has so graciously offered to loan us a vehicle for us to use till we leave for Africa....God Is so Great...We still have one motorcycle and a camper to sell but I know God will send someone for them also. We are working on getting our support letter together and hopfully be sending it out soon.
We ask for your prayers for obtaining our support.
Till next time...
God Bless !!!

Happenings

This past Thursday we closed on the sale of our house. We are no longer home owners…I thought I would cry at the closing knowing that the home we had thought we would own until we were no longer here on the earth was going to be someone else’s.
No, I didn’t cry…...matter of fact, It really feels like we are on our way to fulfill God’s will for our lives. (The day we move out may be a different story???) Our new landlord came today with a Rental Contract for us to sign. The amount of the monthly payment has been reduced by 50.00 and we only have to pay ½ rent for this month. WOW !! Anyway, God is really working. Out of the blue someone called last night asking about Donald’s truck. We really had not planned to sell it till later but evidently God has other plans.
We have not Advertised it for sale just to a couple of close friends, but if it’s God’s will it might be sold in the next week or so..(update b4 posting) They definitely want to purchase the truck in the next week or two…..
. There is still so much to do but I know he is there helping us every step of the way. So I will end this short blog with……..
God is Awesome !!!!!
