No More Vegetables

Today the vegetables stopped. It was nice that we were able to add vegetables to the children's diet for so long. Hard choices have to be made but God has not forgotten us. He allowed us to start supplementing the pap "pop" and beans with a rice mixture that is packed with nutrients. It's not as filling as potatoes and carrots but it is extremely nutritious.

I don't honestly know how God will answer our need to continue to feed, do medical care and bible clubs and keep the teachers at my two CarePoints, but I trust He will. It might not be in the way I'm thinking and that is what is so exciting to step out in faith! It was sad to say we couldn't provide the vegetables any more but maybe God is working in the heart of the communtity to work more consistantly regarding gardens and take on more of the responsibility to provide for the children. Wouldn't that be awesome!!!

How is God calling you to step out of your comfort zone or the box you think you or He should be in? For me it is in expecting God's miracles and to verbally proclaim that. "The seed for a miracle is not in difficulties but in impossibilities." I have often thought that if I said something, "what if nothing happens?" but now I'm starting to think of "how will it happen?" What an awesome opportunity to witness God providing in this time of financial struggles.

A "Mission of Mercy" team just left today and @ the New Village CarePoint they left a soccer field behind. Was it from their hard work or money? -- NO it was such a God thing! Missionary Randy saw a bulldozer go by, followed it with some team members and asked. God opened the heart of a South African business man who let his bulldozer and team of 6 guys come to the CarePoint and level the land. We were expecting one or two passes to scrape the top for a level area but 3 hours later and a lot of diesel fuel, we had a professional grading and a great field for

these kids to have a safe place to play!

This just doesn't happen here. It's not like everyone comes running to do something nice for these CarePoints especially something that would costs hundreds of US dollars to do if we had paid for the service. What if we hadn't been inspired to ask? What if the gentleman had not had a softened heart? What if I fail to do what God asks me to do? May I never think I have all the answers of how things should be done and ignore God's promptings and therefore miss His blessings for me or others. May the impossibilities only grow us in our faith. May we take bold steps as we feel led by the Holy Spirit, even if they seem silly or impractical or contrary to what we have always thought or IMPOSSIBLE and in the process see a multiplication of His miracles all around and through us!!!!!
