From the beginning to end...

Another lesson for me today is that when God uses us to complete His work He will give us every possible resource needed to finish the work.  When we found out we were pregnant with Jaylan we honestly didn't know where the money would come from to care for a third child.  I never had a baby shower because we weren't for sure if she would live after birth and we didn't want anyone to waste their money.  But Oh how God works.  We didn't have to purchase hardly a thing.  For 13 weeks with no baby shower we didn't have to purchase hardly a thing not even the cost of her daycare.  We didn't breastfeed, and we didn't apply for WIC.  God supplied the milk.  She didn't go without a single thing that a baby typically needs.  God supplied everything from the beginning to the end, including the cost of her memorial service.  He says "I am the Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."  When God uses us to complete His work He will give us every possible resource needed to finish the work.  Psalm 23:1 says, "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want".  We didn't have to want for a thing.  His grace IS sufficient and His grace got us through it.  You see God is a real God and He's a serious God.  God don't play and God don't half do things.  When God does something, He goes all the way.  When God has an assignment to be completed He will allow nothing to get in the way of the assignment being completed.  God is the God of all, money is nothing to Him.  Why are we so afraid to be used by God, not that we would admit it. Don't we trust Him?? Lord you know I don't deserve your goodness, but I thank you.  Thank you for showing up.  Thank you for showing out.  Thank you for being you.  You are God! God is good!
