ask for a fish

one of the joys of serving near the ocean...

we are all excited when joe goes fishing.

the kids can't wait for the boat to return so they can run up to the neighbors and  help unload, wash, fillet, and whatever else you do when a fishing boat returns...

as our lives unfold here, we are required to seek God more than ever before. 

so much is different...

we are away from family and close friends, 

finances require prayer and juggling, 

daily activites just flow differently than they did in the US,

(especially speaking in the business world) 

and many of those around us are searching to fill basic needs 

like food, shelter, clothing.

the sites the eyes see every time you drive down the road

give no glimpse of our life before

where there was so much of the material property.

and in this life,

we are being taught to go straight to the Father

and ask Him.

ask Him for what we need

and He has given us

exactly what we needed, when we needed it.

Our loving Heavenly Father has provided.

and looking back over the past few months

we stand amazed...

not knowing how it all worked out perfectly

except for the fact

we asked

and the Lord provided.

Matthew 7:9-11 

 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 
If you, then, though you are evil, 
know how to give good gifts to your children, 
how much more will your Father in heaven 
give good gifts to those who ask him!"
