Praise Report!

I've been feeling really challenged lately in the area of finances. Last week we had the opportunity to attend a 'Support Raising' seminar. God confronted many of my views of money and what the bible actually says about finances and provision. The biggest thing that I gained from the seminar was something that applies not just to finances but to life in general; and that is our need to be constantly relying on God...To continually be going to God and asking him for direction. 
All that to say... I put it all on the line, re-committed myself to God's purpose, first and foremost and God moved! This past Sunday after church, the assistant pastor came up to me to wish me a merry Christmas, with that he handed me a gift card and said that it was from the whole church. I was blown away with the generosity from the church and it was so unexpected! Praise God, He is good! I have been able to use that gift card to bless people, especially for the holidays!
