HE WILL COME THROUGH!
04/15/2007
This time in my life has been the biggest stretch of faith I have EVER had to encounter. Because now I am not only trusting God for myself, I am trusting Him for my wife and helpless baby girl. Christ said in Matthew 6 not to worry about money — but that is very difficult when you have almost none. But one thing I know is that HE WILL come through!
For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
And of course, I won’t leave you without the newest pictures of our little beauty queen!

Hey Vin, I know Mer and I have been in this situation many times in our lifes. Mostly, I put myself in the situations. I hated it, and regreted that I did. God was very faithful in my stupidity with finances.
I know you and I are very similar. So if I can give you any advice from things I have had to learn the hard way,it would be … stick to what you believe God has called you to do.
If you heard God calling you to this ministry, then stick to it and find anyway to keep doing it.
If you were wrong about hearing God call you to this ministry, then you must hold everything that you have “heard” from Him in suspect, and be leary of what “the voice” tells you.
I have seen some very good things in this ministry of yours at New Harvest. God has been working through you. He will finish the things in you. Don’t do what I have done, and move on to something else, because you think it is better for you and ignore God’s calling in you … he brought you here for a reason. I doubt He has changed His mind. Let Him complete the things in you to mold you into the image of His glorious Son.
As I gain more responsibility, i look forward to doing more ministry with you … here.
Love,
Your brother.
