WOW June 2010 is almost over and I haven't updated since November.....where has the time gone? I have been meaning to write an update but something else always gets my attention. I feel like this blog is an extension of our mission with God, so please forgive me for not keeping up-to-date.
In November and December I was struggling with making sure we followed this plan so David could get a paycheck......ministry???? paycheck???? That seems kind of funny. As I spoke my thoughts out loud to David, God reminded me..... you aren't in this to make money or make a salary. You are in this because I need you to do this for me. Then funny God put Matthew 6:33-34 on my heart; But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. This passage comes after ten prior versus of how we are not to worry. With that I say, God is truly amazing!!! David has not had a full-time job since 2008, we are living on 1/2 of what we were making, and we don't go without a thing! We are almost debt free and are about to payoff our last car!
On April 3, 2010, By His Hands Ministries became an official 501(c) (3) corporation. David is now searching for grants. He recently submitted one to Coca-Cola that could allow us enough money to secure a facility and begin growing an inventory. At which time we will begin making contacts with suppliers for food donations. This is a very slow process, but as we continue "Walking Without Worrying" I know God has this all under control and only needs us to be obedient!
