that still small voice

Alrighty, a few years ago the Lord was speaking to me in some crazy ways.  Dreams...several dreams that I knew were from Him.  Other times it was like I heard Him say something out loud to me. I remember waking up one night and looking around. I woke Steve up and asked if he had heard that. He had not.  I knew it was God. I just knew it!

Does this happen to you?

Has this ever happened to you?

If so, please share...cause these God stories are so worth sharing!

Well, I heard this Lord's voice again about a month ago.

This time it was small. It was still. It was more "internal."

I love that He can speak things to us in so many different ways.  It doesn't make one thing He tells us more important, it's just different.

Well, Steve and I thought we weren't going to be able to go to Romania this year.

Sadness filled us.  We wanted at least one of us to go to visit and encourage the missionaries there, to see the family we sponsor, to go and love on so many that we built relationships with last year. We just thought financially we couldn't do it and we are still paying off school and really want that debt gone.

About two weeks later this young married couple in our community group on Sunday morning texted me saying they really wanted to go with me to Romania and if I decided to go this year to please let them know.  I wrote back telling them we couldn't go this year, but that they could still go and I could get them some information.

As soon as I sent that text the Holy Spirit said, "you can't go because of finances?  Have you forgotten what I have done in the past? Have you forgotten that I am your Faithful Provider?  These people matter.  This trip matters. You need to go to Romania. Don't shut this door!"

I remember hearing this as I walked through my kitchen.

So Steve and I talked and I just kept thinking, well, I am going to Romania and I have no idea how I am going to do this. Lots of fundraising.

Fundraising. It can be fun, but it can be daunting.  I hate fundraising, basically because we have done so much of it. At this moment in our lives, specifically this spring, live is just full and I felt overwhelmed at the thought of fundraising. None the less, it must be done.

But, then....

Yesterday...

I found out that my ticket is paid for ....

IN FULL!

The young married couple going with me....

HALF of their tickets are paid for!

The Lord is our Faithful Provider!

Listen to Him today.  We must be so sensitive to what the Spirit tells us to do!

I can't help but wonder what God is going to do during this time in Romania this year. He made it so evident that I was to go and then He made it so possible for that to happen.

Thank you Lord!

*You can pray for this trip which will happen around June 29th-July9th*
