God Moments

There have already been so many, but I want (and will try) to share them all. I will start with this one today. There's a little girl named Anna in Bedford, how I know her...well, i really only know her mom Jerri because of the sovereignty of God:

jerri's cousin lisa had leukemia 7 years ago so jerri grew her hair to sell it as a blessing
i met and worshipped with debra and brian, about 7 years ago in southlake
God asked tracy and I to start a ministry called faithbuilders 5 years ago
jerri's son grew his hair a few years later to donate too
debra met jerri and her son at gymnastics because he had long hair, then cut it
i got an email from tracy telling me to pray for brian and debra a year and 1/2 ago
God called me to meet in person with brian and speak truth into the lies - i was obedient
jerri and i met (for 5 minutes) a few months later because we were prayer warriors for brian and debra
jerri and I prayed and emailed and had a friendship through debra over the past year 1/2
God ordained tracy and i to take some teen girls to africa this summer
i sent an email out to my prayer warriors and friends about africa...jerri got the email
and then God had Jerri send the below email:


A few weeks ago, Anna, my 11-year old daughter, found out that children in Africa eat clay cookies. You probably know about this. I did not. There is so little food and so much hunger that the adults make cookies from the clay, and the children eat them to stave off their hunger pains. This broke Anna’s heart. “Mom, we have to help them have food. How can we do that?” She even mentioned Mary and her work, and she said, “But, Mom, we need to help the children eat NOW.” Either that day or the day before was when I got your email, and I knew as soon as I read your email, we were supposed to sow into your vision. Then Anna said that, and I said, “Anna, I know a lady who is going to Africa for the purpose of the children.” I thought she would get all excited. Instead, her body sort of slumped in a relaxed way, as though a weight had been removed from her, and she asked, “We are helping, right?” When I nodded, she said, “Oh, thank God.”

Again, isn’t that just like our DADDY?

Because my friend Jerri ONLY listens to the Holy Spirit, she said she knew God had asked her to help us financially but was waiting to God to put the same amount on her husband's heart that He has on hers...we received her check this weekend. It doesn't end there...her husband's company matches dollar for dollar their employers donations to 501c3 organizations so God just DOUBLED their gift....isn't that just like our DADDY....

I love God Moments....and I love Jerri and I love Tracy and I love Brian and I love Debra...and most of all, I love our DADDY.
