All Things Freely Given

I am always amazed at my Abba's remarkable generosity with me. My husband was never a good provider, so when he left our needs were great. They still are. But the Lord's generosity shouldn't surprise me at all. He gave his son for me, my family's earthly needs are meager in comparison, no matter how daunting they seem to me.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? (Romans 8:31-32)

Wow! He loves me this much. He wants me to trust him as our source, as the provision for literally every need. So this post, which will be another permanent link on the left, will record praise for every need listed in Current Needs as he answers them.

ALL THINGS FREELY GIVEN

1. Settlement paid off on June 5, 2009 through God's generous body of believers!!!--Please pray for God's intervention on my behalf in a lawsuit in which I'm a defendant. It involves debt that my husband incurred about 6 months before he left. Ask for God to work this situation out for our best, and for peace for me to walk through it. If the bank won't accept a settlement, I'll be in court on May 20th.

2. Taken care of by one of God's faithful--2009/2010 school books--I have not yet planned our curriculum for the upcoming year, but I do have an idea of some things we will need.

3. Taken care of by a dear friend, May 2009--The kids need a few clothes to get them through the summer. We shop thrift stores and the boys have been asking for us to make a trip to Unclaimed Baggage for a couple of months, but I haven't had the money to justify the trip. I've picked up an item here and there, but not all of what they need.

4. June 3, 2009--I didn't even have a chance to post this need. While the kids were sick with the flu, our refrigerator did. I was desperate and had no idea what to do! I called a friend who might know where I could find a free one. Another friend had given her money to pass on to me, and she just hadn't transferred the funds yet. God met the need days before I knew I had one. Hallelujah! You are awesome, God, and your timing is always perfect!
