Praise!!!

I had previously posted about the surprise on my insurance bill. After my initial "freaking out" about it, God worked in my heart to show me that He will take care of me. I just needed to trust Him.

I heard from my insurance agent that it was a mistake and the extra $200/month is coming off! God is so good. Even if I did have to pay it, He would still be good! I'm glad I came to that point even before I had the good news. I'm very thankful for such an amazing God that cares about our needs. I'm also thankful that even when we fear and doubt, He cares and doesn't give up on us (or more specifically me).

Please Pray

I hope you have been following the Johnsons and praying for them. I just got a text from Jessica's cousin who says Josiah will be home with his Lord in a matter of hours. I'm not sure how many of you will be checking my blog this evening, but I ask that you pray for this wonderful family. Their testimony is amazing and they have shown so much of God's grace through this.

I love you, Jess, and I'm praying for you!

**Update

I just received another text letting me know that Josiah is now with his Savior. The battle is over and he is now resting at the feet of Jesus. Please pray for his family as they mourn his loss.

I Thess. 4:13 "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as other do who have no hope."

Josiah, we will meet again!

Big News!

You may wonder why you are looking at the welcome sign for Creston. Well, it's because that's where I'm going to be moving. Yep, you heard right. What can I say, I love Iowa!

Through much prayer and God's leading, I've taken a position at Hometown Insurance that will begin in March. I spent some time there yesterday and today and am very excited. It's one of those God things. Hearing how God was leading on their end and on mine just confirmed that this is where God is directing. After I left camp I prayed that God would drop what was next right into my lap when it was the right time. And He did! Why am I surprised when God answers my prayer in such an amazing way?

Thanks for all your prayers! I'll keep you posted on all the new developments.

Pray for the Johnsons

Some of you may have noticed my list of blogs over on the sidebar. There is one I want to bring to your attention today. Please go and visit Pray for the Johnsons. Jessica was my secretary at IRBC the summer of 2004, and she is the niece of Dan and Michelle Stephenson who are on staff at IRBC.

Jessica and Josiah are a young couple that have faced so many trials in their few years together as a married couple. Their unwavering faith, despite these trials, is such an inspiration. Josiah is dying of cancer and it looks like his time here on earth is very short.

Please keep this special couple in your prayers during this time.
