Wow. In the past week, God has blessed me with $735 towards NMB - bringing the grand total to $2,080! I'm so amazed by what He's done, and thankful for it.

I don't know about you, but I find myself putting limits around what God has already promised to do for me. He sends me out with a promise of his faithfulness, I hold steadfast to that for a good 5 minutes, and then I start re-defining what He promised to me because I'm afraid I'll get my hopes up. I was so excited to reach $1,000 in support, and I found myself thinking, "Don't expect any more beyond that." So what does God do? He brings it past $2,000. It's like I'm afraid to ask "too much" of Him, and every time he provides, I'm down here going, "really, God? Wow, I wasn't expecting that."

And what else would I be expecting? To be let down by a God who is big, mighty, fiercely loving, and the creator of the universe? Did I really think God would forget about me? "I will never leave you nor forsake you." -Joshua 1:5.

We've got a big God on our side, friends. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still." -Exodus 14:14.
