So many times I catch myself asking “Lord, can you really take care of me in this situation?” After all, some situations seem really impossible! I’d like to say that yes, He can provide what you need in any situation, and then provide more than you need! When coming to Northside Baptist Church in October of 2005, we were not sure if the Church could pay us enough to live on. We knew however, that this was where God wanted us to be, and that somehow He would provide. With a little fear and trepidation on my part, we moved here and decided to trust God. Well, as the title of a book by our friend, Evangelist Tim Green and his family says: He’s Everything He Claims to be and More! He has provided in so many ways! The church pays us enough to live on, and even more! When I found out I was expecting our fourth child, and only native Texan, in March of ’06, He provided a wonderful Doctor to deliver the baby. After meeting with 3 other doctors, and asking the Lord to direct us, we finally found Dr. Sky (short for Skylar). He is the son of a Church of Christ preacher from Tennessee and a godly man himself. He has 5 kids of his own and often takes missionary trips where he can offer people free medical care. We found him by calling the hospital in the town He practices in. They didn’t know we were a Pastor’s family, yet they recommended him for his kindness and Christian qualities. Later, after meeting him and loving him and his staff, he told us that he gives preachers and their families free office visits!!! He isn’t an OB/GYN, he’s a family Doctor who maintains a license to deliver babies. The great thing about that is that our whole family goes to him, and he is like part of our family. When Laci was born there were a few minor complications, yet I knew that God would help me, well, us through them. I knew He had led me to the place that I was in, and that knowledge offers a wonderful peace, even in turmoil. He provided a wonderful doctor, and even more!Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? Can He provide in a small, close knit town where you are a total stranger? Yes, He can. Do I still question Him sometimes? Yes!! I wish I never did, but remembering past miracles encourages me to keep trusting Him. He is so patient, longsuffering and forgiving with me! I am so glad I know Him! He truly is all He claims to be…and more!

He saved me…and keeps me saved.
He loves me when I’m good…and when I’m bad.
He forgives me…and then forgets.
He lets me pray directly to Him…and then talks back to me through His living Word.
He gave me His Son, Jesus….and the Holy Spirit.
He served Me…and lets me serve Him.
He’ll never leave me….or forsake me.
