God Provides
When we were in Murchison, I became pregnant with our fourth baby. We were fast outgrowing our Chevette - it was so small, that every time I went to Nelson to buy groceries, I had to take a trailer to put them in! And now there was a sixth family member on the way, we knew we would need to have a van - but we had no money. So we did the only thing we could - took it to the Lord in prayer.
A few months later we were given a 9 seater coach!
When we lived in Motupiko, we had a lot of meat from farm animals. But I was getting so sick of red meat! How I wished we could afford to buy some fish for a change. One morning I was hanging out the washing, and telling the Lord how much I would like some fish. I find the washing line is a great place for thinking and praying! A few minutes later, the phone rang - a friend up the road wanted to know if we would like some Salmon they had in the freezer - apparently they had more than they could use. “Sure!” I said. She dropped off a large trash sack FULL of whole Salmon! God likes to give more abundantly than we expect!
While we were living in the Marlborough Sounds, getting firewood to keep the coal range going was becoming an urgent problem - we used the coal range for cooking, heating and hot water. We were surrounded by hills on which pine trees had been felled and left lying, but had no way of getting to them due to the steepness of the terrain, and fact that there are no roads, and a lack of suitable equipment or transport. Lord, we need some firewood!
Shortly after that, we found out that our German neighbour, who had contracted to have all his pine trees logged, and had asked the company doing so to fell the rest that they didn’t want, was having to get the company back in, because some of the trees they had felled had fallen over the waterline and on the Queen’s Chain, and the Department of Conservation wasn’t happy about it. The logging company flew in a helicoptor, who’s job it was to grab and lift each pine tree from down near the water, take it up the hill, and drop it.
Rob had a word with the pilot, asking if he would mind dropping a tree on our lawn instead of up the hill. Seeing it would cost the company less fuel, he was happy to do that. That day we had two entire pine trees delivered by helicoptor onto the paddock beside our house for us to cut up for firewood!
There is nothing too big for our God to do, nor too small for him to care about!
Next I'll tell you how God provided us with the funds to buy A Home Of Our Own!
