We Serve an On-Time God!

Wow! What a wonderful weekend of worship! My heart has been so heavy lately as my mom has been looking for a job since she was displaced back in May and my sister has also been looking for a job as she is a recent Liberty graduate. It has been a tough summer for both of them as they were turned down at several schools due to the lack of funds and having to cut back on teachers. I have been praying for them several times a day, every day. I have also been praying for the sale of my parent's house here in Augusta. It has been on the market for over a year. The Lord says in His word that we are to pray according to His will and not our own. So that is what I have been doing. Well, my mom had an interview this morning and before the principal even asked her any questions she said, "Patty, I want you, will you please come work for me!?!" Not only is the school new and in the same county she was already in, but it is in walking distance from their home. I don't think God could've been any more generous! We are so undeserving of His faithfulness and provision. My sister was also given the opportunity to work at a school as a long term substitute as the teacher is about to have a baby any day now. She will be teaching 5th grade Social Studies and Math for the next six weeks. If that isn't good enough, my parent's home is going to start being leased on the 15th of this month. Are you getting chills like I am?

This is all due to God's perfect timing and love for us. We give God the glory! As our Choir sang "Thou Oh Lord" yesterday I could hardly contain myself.

" Thou Oh Lord are a shield for me. The Glory and the lifter of my head! I cried unto the Lord with my voice and He heard me out of His holy ear...the Lord sustained me. "
