Overflowing with Thanks to God

We have been overwhelmed almost daily this past month. After months and months (really 18 months!) of waiting and praying for God to bring in our financial support, we are really in awe and just blown away by how God is answering those prayers and moving in people's hearts to give.

Throughout this home assignment of waiting, we have consistantly seen small drips of God's provison...Just enough to confirm that God was leading us back to Japan.
Often, we would be tempted to stop and think, "What if God doesn't provide?". It was at those times that God would graciouly bring in a little more new finanical support. Our faith was strengthened again as we continued to pray for His provisions while we bowed to His will and leading in our lives .
Now though, it is if God has turned on the faucet, no longer filling our bucket with drips, but with a steady stream that splashes refreshingly.

Thank you Lord for Your provision. For some reason, this seems to be Your time and way. We trust you to continue filling up our bucket of need, all the way to the rim. We give You the honor and thanks as we keep trusting You to provide for our return to Japan.
