Trust and Obey

My boss, Rick Scott, the President of Springtime House in Romania, described me well when he noted, "you always seem to expect to hear 'no' when you ask for something don't you?" He's right, especially when it comes to asking for money. So how amazed am I right now, looking at me Excel spreadsheet tracking my known donations from NTG and other friends and family, and I see it there: 100% of my goal is reached. It's not even February. It was 100% even when I take out all the Hanukkah/birthday money I saved up in December that I had set aside in the beginning. I kept that personal money in an envelope in my old hymnal from the church I grew up in under the hymn "Trust and Obey". We had it sung at our wedding, and it continues to ring into my life, reminding me that "our toil He doth richly repay". And from what I hear, there are more donations to come that will make it in the bank this coming month. I'm simply blown away. God is so good, all the stinkin' time! I had to just share this with you all who are following my story in this journey. Of course, any extra donations given to my trip will overflow into the ministry's general fund for the projects we plan to complete in this year's mission. Don't let this stop you from giving towards that goal or to take on sponsoring one of the Springtime House care homes. So much more can be done. To end with that sweet hymn, 

"What He says we will do, 

where He sends we will go --

Never fear, only trust and obey.

Trust and Obey

For there's no other way

To be happy in [Yeshua]

than to Trust and Obey"
