Showers of Blessings

There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

AMEN and AMEN! After a long "season" in a storm God is giving us a season of refreshing! We have been so blessed, looking back on the past few months I can now see what God was trying to teach us and what he was preparing us for\for us. It makes me wonder why we doubt so often his leading and will, when we have such a wise Father who knows exactly what we need to grow and learn. God has blessed us so much!

We found a beautiful house we are leasing to purchase. The price is locked in at $78,900 and is only $750 a month! We are in the process of moving in right now! Its a beautiful 3bed 1bath, there is a fire place in the living room 5 large closets throughout the house, tons of cupboard space in the kitchen a laundry room and a gorgeous dinning room! As silly as it may sound I know God saved this house just for us because when you pull up to the front its a sweet little blue house, with a white picket fence, which is something I always dreamed of! The inside is already painted EXACTLY how I would have painted it, the flooring in the dinning kitchen laundry is all new too!
 our beautiful new home!


Another blessing I wont fail to mention is the kindness and generosity that the people here have shewn us from the moment we arrived. When we knew we where moving to AL we sold everything but the essentials, and hopped on a plane in faith knowing God would take care of us... When we found a house the church members one by one started asking what we needed. We have been blessed with a very pretty dinning room table and chairs, an over sized chair and ottoman with a super comfy sofa, a queen bed, a washer and dryer and a breakfast table! Everything we have received is nicer than what we parted with! GOD IS SO GOOD!

This week at the christian school there was Open Revival. Four preachers came in through the week and each morning the school students and staff heard preaching. Steven was able to see 3 boys get saved! This past Sunday in church 2 adults got saved and 2 children where baptized. Steven was able to go with our pastor to a local prison and preach he said that the inmates response to the preaching was more exciting than a collage chapel service! The men where AMEN-ing and shouting, the singing was loud and exciting and the preaching was followed by 1 assurance of salvation!

God is really doing a wonderful work in this growing ministry and we are so happy to be able serve here!

There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.
