Just to help you remember...

One of the interesting things about humans is after we learn a lesson, we often have to learn it again. For example, let's say you were adopting and needed to raise funds to afford it, and God keeps showing His power to provide (it's all His money anyway, right?). Despite this, it's not hard for doubts to enter our sinful minds. Besides, the baby could be born any day, and there is still a need for $2400. It's not that we don't believe God will provide. It's just very easy to start doubting when the obstacles are bigger than we are.

Thankfully, God is patient. He continues to gently remind us to trust Him. This morning, we received a pledge for $500, bringing our total to $5110. That leaves only $1890 remaining. Praise the Lord for His goodness!

But then God basically said, "Just to help you remember I am taking care of this for you, I'm going to provide even further." A little later this morning, we found out that someone has anonymously pledged to match all further donations, dollar for dollar, until we reach our $7000 goal. With $1890 remaining, we need only $945 to be donated to reach our goal! Again, the Lord is good.

We don't know who the anonymous donor is, but we thank God for their generosity. Also, thank you to everyone who has donated, bought tshirts, given up your time, and, most importantly, prayed. The most important thing that could happen during this process is God being glorified. You all are a testament to God's goodness through you, which is most definately glorifying to Him.
