All We Need

God Will Provide All We Need:
Recently we have had several visitors here helping with various projects.  It is very encouraging to talk with these visitors and often God uses them to encourage and challenge us.  This is what happened last week when a man who came, shared with the staff following a meal together.
As he shared it put a whole need meaning on the phrase "God will provide all we need."   He challenged us that if we don't have something, then it means we don't need it right now.  My first thought was "Wow is that what it really means?" 
Then God once again reminded me "Do you trust me?"

As we continue to plan to move there are so many things to think about and plan and it can be very overwhelming and scary, but then I remember God will provide ALL we need.  Those needs may not be what I think are needs, but I need to trust God and know that he knows better what our needs really are.

Purchasing Land:
This past week we got a call from Pastor Fritz, the Pastor in Atrel, and he is going to have the land for our home surveyed on the 28th of this month.  The following week Kyrk will need to go with Pastor Fritz to the government offices in Port-de-Paix and get everything finalized for the purchase of the land.  Pray with us that this process goes smoothly.  When the land is purchased we can start the building of our home. 

Rebekah's Fall
Relaxing on the couch after getting bandaged up
On Monday Rebekah fell on her bike and cut her leg badly on a old rusty bell.  Kyrk was able to clean it out well and get it bandaged up.  The doctor stopped by later in the afternoon to check the wound and it looked okay to him.  Thankfully a nurse from the hospital was willing to come and give Rebekah a tetanus shot yesterday, just to be safe.  We are praising God that He met our need for good medical care for Rebekah.
