Our God is faithful, and our God wants us to trust Him.
Since coming home in early June I have not been keeping my blog like I had been for the previous 14 months. I think this has partially lead to my feeling like I’ve lost the past two months, like they are unaccounted for. I know that I have been keeping busy with construction projects, and that those projects are helping me towards my goal of reentering the mission field sometime in 2014; but I don’t want to lose this time, I don’t want it to go by without me taking the time to reflect on it.
I have been getting up around 8AM, and travelling to Renton, mostly, to work on a rental property. When I toured the place six weeks ago it was the most rundown structure I had ever been inside. The homeowner initially passed on hiring me, but eventually he came around to bringing me on full-time. I have been remiss to share the timing around which all of this occurred, and so here it is:
Since arriving back home I have had work six days a week, with many of those days being for twelve hours. I had completed the drain system at my neighbor’s house, and was serving at a workday for All Saints when I found that I had been withholding my tithe for some reason. That day, I put my tithe in the offering box at church, and felt all at once lighter. It is so easy to distrust that God will provide. Two hours later I received a text from the property owner in Renton, a message which since then has resulted in 130 hours of work. Our God is faithful, and our God wants us to trust Him.
