God guides God provides


Good morning all, today I want to talk about Gods provision and how despite everything going off in our lives God never fails to provide our needs.

Here's abit of my little families story, I hope it encourages you. We originally lived in West Yorkshire, in a little town called Knottingley. For 2 years we felt from deep within that we were meant for some where else. That God was going to move us on. But we couldn't understand where or how as we couldn't afford a move. My husband applied for jobs all over the world, pushing the boat out so to say and trusting that God will bring the right job into position. First off he got an interview in Wales, though it went well he didn't get the job. Which disheartened us because we knew our time in Knottingley had come to an end. But on the plus side it did prepare him for what was to come next. My husband also got another job interview in Cambridge. It went really well and he got a called back then a job offer. Such excitement came over us. But a mountain was put in our path way. That mountain was it is impossible to get a house in oakington (where we live now) to which was proving true. We found houses all over the surrounding villages but not in oakington. But the church hiring Ben wanted him living in the village. Let's pause there and let me bring a point, during the second interview we had a tour around the village school. During this tour an overwelming peace came over me, a peace to which I've never felt before. So when we couldn't find a house in the village it made a knot in my stomach, I kept saying to my husband amelia (our oldest daughter) is going to that village school I know this because of that peace, a house has to come up. But it wasn't happening, and time was getting closer to September. I started panicking because amelia needed to start her first year in school. I couldn't sleep one night because my spirit was being nudged to read my bible plan that I'd missed. But my flesh wanted to sleep. So I got my phone to read it and as I did inside it said God guides God provides. This lit the confidence in me. I knew I had to hold onto that promise. 2 weeks before our contract in the rented house we were living in terminated and 3 weeks before Ben had to start the job (talk about being nervous but still holding onto God guides God provides) my husband recieve an email saying his dbs check cleared. And as soon as he read it, God nudged his spirit to go on the housing website, and low and behold a house in oakington pop up that very moment. (It had only been uploaded that day) but our dilemma was we didn't have money to drive down and see it. So Ben got hold of the agency which said we needed to see it we couldn't just say we wanted it. They said we need to have someone come see it. Ben got hold of one of the ladies helping to get the ball rolling for the job, and she dropped everything and went to see it. She immediately put our name forward. Yet again we were struck with another obstacle, we weren't the only ones to offer; three other to parties had offered a higher price then us, we could only offer the asking price. As we prayed God just just reminded us of the phrase God guides God provides. And praise jesus we got the house. And everything after that money for up front rent to house hold goods to help financially to move fell into place. Boom boom boom. We were in awe. Even though you know the bible says God will provide, when it happens especially to something so big as moving it's so breath taking.

I hope this encourages you, you may already have experienced gods provision in many different ways whether big or small. God is good. I would love to hear your story. You may even be in the beginning of the process, and Gods just given you the vision, job, project etc. And immediately the enemy is filling your mind with doubt, anxiety, fear etc. Prayer is a powerful weapon, and I am more than happy to pray along with you and for you. Just leave your name, God knows the rest. The enemy won't win no matter how hard he tries to stop you, never give up. Never waver on what God says. He will complete what he starts. Have a blessed day..

Unbroken promise

 Hi everyone I know it's been a while since my last blog entry, you see God has taken me and my family through quite the rollercoaster. For a while I had writers block. I had no idea what to say but tonight while trying to sleep, I had a overwhelming sense to talk about the promises of God. I'm not going to start talking about the promises written in the bible all though each one is valid, beautiful and true on their own. What's on my heart are the unsung promises. You know, those you've been waiting for so long to come to pass. The ones where you could so easily just give up on. Them ones. Hallelujah.  Let me take you on the journey we've just had, and in fact we are still going through because the process isn't over. But the giant, daunting hurdle that was the be all or end all in the process, that's done and dusted. Hallelujah, praise be to God.  To make sense of the process we as a family have been through, it would make sense to give you the back story....

It's eternity not just sundays

  Have you ever built a lego sculpture? I have, in fact I did recently. A titanic ship and a army war plane. I fully enjoyed this activity and would go as far as saying it's becoming a hobby. But I haven't done this post to talk about Lego, although it is how God chose to get a message across to me.  You see, building a Lego sculpture requires a lot of Lego bricks. From tiny squares to long rectangular one. All shapes and sizes are involved in the making of a beautiful masterpiece. The end result is very rewarding. Each intricate detail that are put together, every block, every pain staking moment getting the tiny delicate pieces together without accidentally breaking the whole thing; requires time, patience and effort. God is the builder in our lives. When we invite him into our lives he works with us, building on a new foundation that is in Christ Jesus. Sometimes it can be hard and painful, especially when we have someone to forgive/ a situation we need let go off, but the ...

strength will rise!

Have you ever found yourself in the waiting zone of Gods plan to unfold in your life. Knowing in your heart that God has instructed you, of what is to come, what he wants to do in and through your life or what changes will unfold in your life. Yet in your mind all you see and understand is the chaos that is the reality of your surroundings. Does this bring some memories or maybe it's even a reality now for you. It sure was for my family. I know in my heart God is faithful, he always provides, his blessings are profound, his love endures forever and is always on display (I see his love in the form of a heart shape, I'll find that in the most random places yet each time it has the most significant effect on me; it's just beautiful)  so why do we find waiting around it's so exhausting? Naturally we are very impatient, especially in the society we are in now; where everything is almost instantaneous. So waiting for long periods like you'll find in the bible can be unthi...
