For the last year and a half we have been feeling that God wants to rock our world. Seemingly we have all that anyone could every want and yet we remain wanting. Not wanting more stuff but wanting to spend more time with each other and more time fulfilling the Lord's purpose for our lives. God has moved in amazing ways over this time and showed us the type of lives he wants us to live. Has God chosen Belize for us? No actually. But we have clearly heard him tell us that we can chosen to live out his new challenge for us where ever we chose and he will honor that choice. But he graciously encouraged us to ensure we follow through on what he has called us to. So, off we go.
Please check in on us often so you can hear how the Lord is working in our lives and we take this step of faith and obedience.

Testimony

Mind blowing eh, (still have some Canadian in me!) I'm posting twice in a week!
That's because  I have  a testimony. You know that thing we all want a Testimony but we rarely want the "test"....we just want the "imony".
Let's face it, we all have tests. Daily, weekly, some even hourly! God is a god of promise and he promises that in this life there will be trial of many kinds ( 1 Peter1:6). He keeps his promise all right. But I'm learning that trials can be great, when you are on the side of the victor or the winning team. (2 Peter 2:9, James 1:2-4) I actually get a little excited when we face a trial now. I still get anxious or scared for a split second but I know that it's just an opportunity to have God show up in a big way!

If you gathered from my last post about the delivery truck it was a huge leap of faith for us to buy that truck. We knew we needed something a bit bigger but this was a lot bigger and it seemed overkill. However, we'd been needing, desperately needing something because every week we struggled to get all the products fit into our Explorer. That was the test. Waiting. Struggling each week to fit the puzzle together. Asking and prayer without ceasing for another vehicle or trailer. So here is my "imony" after the "test"!

That empty truck that God provided and we claimed He was going to fill up....guess what. We have doubled our online orders this week. We have been steadily growing adding one or two customer every week to our orders but this week what an increase! Double 18 order two weeks ago and this week 39! Seriously, God is soooo great! He is the provider of all good things, in His perfect time. We just have to wait patiently on Him (Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord)

So, it's short and sweet. My testimony is that GOD IS SO GOOD....ALL THE TIME.
Thanks you to those who are praying with us and loving us from a far. We are excited to see the continued increase and continue to pray without ceasing for the other areas we are waiting to see God move in.

Blessings to you all.
