As I sit down at my desk ready to start the day with joy and faith in my heart. I decide to check my stagnant support account, partly expecting the exact number I have looked at for the past 2 1/2 months, but God rewarded my faith with his faithfullness. Before our trip to Cairo I was already making plans to leave ComLife in January because I didn’t believe I would recieve the other chunk of my support (more than half of my goal), but the people I met while in Cairo showed me the importance of trust and faith in a life of broken promises.
I am not saying that I completely gave up, no I still sent out support letters and made the awkardly neccessary phone calls but my heart was already stained with the stench of failure and dissapointment. But this situation was different, I was ready to trust God and the way I see it, if I must go it is becasue I must go to greater things. So joyfully I began to check my support account and to my amazment the number was not less (as it usually gets after the livng expenses) but a slight bit more. I checked it over and over again to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. I started to run around the office telling as many people as I could, writing emails and making phone calls to tell of how my mustard seed of faith was rewarded.
Now the donation I recieved was not very big and was gone the moment I recieved my next check but it was signifcantly big in my heart. I knew God was going to test my trust and sure enough the next day one of my roomates recieved a donation exactly equal to what I need. As she sat before us all almost in tears I hear God saying to me, “Will you trust me now and rejoice with your sister or will you be bitter and jealous as you have before. I blurted out I am so happy for you! And I truly am rejoicing with my sister and God’s mysteriously wonderful ways.
So from here on out I will give all my trust and faith to the Lord in all aspects of my life. I really believe that this is where he needs me and who knows I may recieve the entire amount of my money Dec. 31, the day before my deadline.
