2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad But 3 Out Of 3 Would Have Been Better.

Within the last few months, I blessed 3 different female ministers with gifts. Two out of the 3 of them blessed me back with a thank you. I don't give seeking a thank you because that is between me & Holy Spirit. He shows me what to do, make, send and I yield. You must know though that it is really rare to get any sort of thank you note or email from ministers I bless. Oddly enough, the one minister I prayed for a couple of years to come to this region is the one I did not hear anything from. Now, my offerings are not the large in size one's now like 1 million dollars or anything like that, but I still obey when Holy Spirit nudges me to give and what amount to give also.

I have been trying for a few weeks now to plant a seed into a ministry and I finally connected recently. Some may say $10.00 is not a lot but when it is in the hand of God it will grow mightily. It is a matter of obedience. I almost gave it away the other day, but circumstances prevented that from happening.  Do you know why? This offering is destined to go into the hands of a minster in which I saw a previous offering grow twice that week. After that Holy Spirit challenged me to double that amount and see what He can do with that offering. It patiently waits folded in my new Patricia Nash change purse that came with that new "Birds of Paradise" purse. I wrote about that when it happened a few weeks ago.

It is God's timing and His divine connections too. I reached out to someone that I thought could be the connector to get the offering to this person. They then contacted the minister and the next thing I know I have the contact info. I waited upon the Lord to then respond to a text message the minister sent to me. I had permission to contact them and I did so. Maybe this is more about my obedience and tenacity to not quit because 10.00 is not enough to pay even an electric bill today for this minister but it just may be the key needed to unlock a door in my life. I am also shown that this minister has the presence of God in the ministry. If not, I wouldn't be prodded to give an offering and then another one to follow that. God is faithful and He had me hold onto this offering until the opportunity was there to give it. Let's see what happens because the transfer of the money is in the works. To God be the GLORY.

Moral in this story, do not give up hope and God will make a way when there seems to be no way. Sometimes standing out on the very edge of a ledge and it seems like you are all by yourself, you are not. Jesus is right there with you gently guiding your steps. You have to be willing at times to stand alone because when you do others will not necessarily accept what you have to say. I am fine with that because it is His voice guiding my steps.
