Dreams and Donations.

I have been thinking a lot.

Praying for peace and patience.

I have been keeping my mind busy with prep for the Spaghetti Dinner.

That has helped a lot.

But even still I am still waking up in the night.

I still wake up about twice per night with this nagging feeling.

Some nights are worse than others.

Last night I had a dream that our Baby (who was a girl in the dream *wink*) was hungry and I needed to switch spots with Dave so that I could feed her. LOL Funny story... Feel free to ask Dave about it. Basically, I woke him up talking in my sleep because I urgently needed to get to our Baby. I have had many dreams but that was the first time I woke him up because I was talking in my sleep.

I know that God is preparing us. I trust in His strength. I take comfort in the truths of His word.

Verses like:

Isaiah 41:10

¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1 Corinthians 10:13

¹³ No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Proverbs 2

¹ My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
² turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
³ indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
⁴ and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
⁵ then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
⁶ For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
⁷ He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
⁸ for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

These are the ways that God is opening my eyes for my need to COMPLETELY trust in Him.

I have been floored by the amazing amount of support we have gotten.

As of this afternoon...

The Sauce

The Pasta

The Bread

and The Salad

Have ALL been donated for the Dinner!!!

Can you even believe that?

I am still in shock.

I am waiting on a few things. It looks like we might have a few other donations and the only cost to us will be the ingredients for dessert.(tiramisu) Which my amazing oldest sister has willingly said she would make. Teehee!

I haven't stopped praying that our Baby will be here soon. I haven't given up on the fact that we serve a great God. A God that time, distance and money have no effect on.

God is Good ALL the time and I am comforted by His grace for this curly haired country girl like me.
