A couple of years ago I had finally gotten my little Explorer paid off. I was so excited and thanking Him for all He had done. Then I hear Him ask me, what are you gonna do with it. I thought, I'm gonna keep it and drive it. I hadn't had a paid off vehicle but maybe one other time in my life. I was EXCITED!! He said haven't you been praying for Lu a new vehicle. I said yes Sir...but I like my Explorer :( It has a sun roof, it get's good gas mileage, it has a 5 disc cd changer, I can get all my Smiles in it and it's paid for...whoohooo!! UGH! You want me to give away my Explorer Sir?
So I talked to Jeff and told him what I was feeling. He said what are you gonna drive. I don't know. I guess one of the trucks. So we had a staff meeting that day and I got to (GOT TO ....it was my pleasure to) give Lu my Explorer.
It wasn't long till we found a real good deal on a Ford Excursion. I really liked it. Lu said oh Mom look what God did for you. It's because you sowed your vehicle. I said this truck can't be my fruit, cause I had to pay for it.....
Well last year I had a family call me. They said what do you need for your ministry. It was really hard for me to answer that question. I don't like asking anybody for anything except Him. Finally, I said well I'm believing for another vehicle. My Excursion is doing fine, just been feeling like I should start looking for one. They said we will call you back tomorrow. OK..... When they called me back they said, we want to get you a new vehicle, but with one condition. I said ok what is the condition. It has to be brand new.....WOW There was my fruit I'd been believing for. I got to drive a brand new Chevrolet Suburban off the lot completely paid for. It's been a year ago this coming August and I am even more grateful today than I was then. Thank you Sir!! Your WORD works if we work it!!!
You see sometimes when He ask us to give our prize possessions He has something much better in mind for us. So don't eat your seed or you'll never have any fruit!!!
Please know that I'm sharing these things to show you how real God is. To help you understand that He loves all of us and wants good things for us.
I sure do love y'all!!
Blessings
