In three days we fly out to begin our next adventure in Swaziland, Africa. I started this journey with a timid heart. I knew God was calling me but “explained to Him” that going now did not seem to be a possibility due to financial reasons. Lol If you have ever “explained to God” how things limited you, you know why I am laughing. God understood my fears. He knew I was speaking from my resources not His. He also knew the plans He had for me. In obedience I followed Him and told Him I would go but He would have to provide. He has provided more than I could have ever asked for!
One morning He planted in my heart an idea to egg houses. 🙂 No not like throwing real eggs, but to place the resurrection story in 12 eggs with items that reminded people of the true meaning of Easter. God used my little sister Hope to send me a link on Pinterest to the sign to use on the door of each house. Within days I had 72 dozens of eggs ready and the egging began. I sold most of the egg sets then ordered another 72 dozen. I gave some away to other churches and groups who wanted to make money for missions, but I sold the rest and God provided in a huge way for me financially.
Then one by one I started receiving gifts from people God just laid on their hearts to give. One person even egged me with money in the eggs as well as the scriptures. God paid for my entire trip as well as gave me money to help with all of the ministry needs once we get there. I am blown away by God!
He not only gave to me, but to Ruth and Cindy! All of our trips have been paid for and we have money to do ministry with once we get to Swazi. We are all moved to tears at God’s goodness.
I guess the moral to this part of the story of our journey to Swazi is don’t doubt God. If He leads you to do something He will provide! Trust Him. Watch and see Him do exceedingly more than you could ever dream or imagine. There is so much more yet to come!
