Thank You for Giving to the Lord!

Thank you to everyone who has graciously purchased The Secret of Sadie Sequoia.  This whole experience has been a faith walk for me.  I am currently sitting on 100 books which could generate another $2200 for the food pantry.  Please continue to get the word out about the book and where the money is going - remember 100% of the profits goes directly to feed kids!

 

I just finished an incredible book, Radical by David Platt and am currently reading The Hole in the Gospel by Richard Stearns.  Both books have inspired me to put my faith into action.  There is a great anonymous quote in the latter that struck me:

 

"Sometimes I would like to ask God why He allows poverty, suffering, and injustice when He could do something about it."

 

"Well, why don't you ask Him?"

 

"Because I'm afraid He would ask me the same question."

 

God has blessed me with so much.  Not only do I have salvation through Jesus Christ, I also have so an abundance of resources to share with people all over the world! 

 

My daughter Katie and I will be traveling back to Mexico the end of September.  We will help make some more fleece blankets in preparation for the winter and also distribute food and assist in the lunch program for the kids.  Please pray for us.  My desire is to eventually help start up some sort of industry for the people down there.  They don't lack a hard work ethic - they lack work. 

 

This is an exciting time!  Our economy is in disrepair but we serve an incredible God who can richly supply.  Thank you for your help.  We couldn't travel this journey without you!
