England Update #3 – When I woke up this morning, I had $750 for my England ‘08 mission trip. As I write now, I have $850 cash on hand and the other $950 pledged by the two great families of FBC Lufkin and FBC Belton.
God is absolutely amazing! I went from $0 on Sunday morning at 9:00 AM to $1800 by 3:00 PM Tuesday afternoon. How incredible is that?! My day really did turn out that well after all.
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee. Surely his goodness and mercy daily attend thee. Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, who with his love doth befriend thee.
Check this out when you have some time to really chew on it for a while. It’s good.

England Update #2 – Later yesterday, one of the guys on staff at FBC Belton called me into his office and asked me to tell him about the trip. He then handed me $200 dollars at the end of the day, told me he has loved getting to know me, and to have fun in England. This is unbelievable! I love this church, and I love how creative God is! (I’m only $250 away from the $1000 down payment due Friday.)
Also, I woke up this morning to a text message from a friend of mine with some pretty incredible news. A pretty nasty Greek quiz was scheduled today, and I spent a lot of hours last night studying for it. I went to bed frustrated and tired. My prof is pretty difficult and also never misses a day of class. Well… he e-mailed us this morning and decided to cancel class for the day! This gives me time to work on two other papers that are due this week, plus I studied a lot so that I caught up in Greek without having to fail a quiz.
This is starting out as one of those days where you just get that kinda sinking feeling that it can’t all go this well. Know what I mean?
