In 2007 when I was thinking about moving to North Carolina
my brother said, ‘hey isn’t there a verse in the Bible that talks about how God
takes care of the birds of the air and how much more he will take care of us?’
Here is the actual verses:
“25“Therefore I
tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about
your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the
body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in
barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable
than they? 27Who of you by
worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?”
Matthew 6:25-27
At the time I was struggling with the decision of moving
half way across America for a part time job in a place I did not know. When my
brother gave me this verse I knew I needed to have faith in God and go. So I
did. And God provided everything I needed and more.
In July of 2008 I was praying about when to leave the church
I was working at to prepare for the World Race. I was really having a hard time
deciding when to leave. I had a date in mind and went to church. That Sunday
the pastor talked about this verse. I knew what I was supposed to do.
In July of 2009 I was in South Africa praying about the
vision God had given me. I was sitting in the field praying about it all and if
I was capable of doing what God wanted me to do. When I was praying a whole
bunch of birds flew out of the bushes around me. I was reminded of this verse.
That if I trust him I have nothing to worry about. He will take care of it all.
Today I found myself outside asking God what I was doing. I
am planning on moving to GA on Friday. I really have no idea what working for
AIM and the Haiti relief looks like but I feel like this is exactly where I am
supposed to be. I was questioning it today and when I was outside reading my
Bible two birds started fluttering over my head. I quickly looked up and then continued
reading. About a half second later I started laughing and crying. God gave me
birds again.
He is going to take care of me because I am obeying him and
doing His work. So on Friday/Saturday I will be moving my stuff to Gainesville,
GA. I have about $6,000 in my support account and will have to start support
raising soon. But I am confident by the birds God sent me today that the money
will come in.
As soon as I have my new support account set up I will pass
it along. If you feel led to give please check back soon.
