I love this photo of our family, taken back in October. We had quite the time getting Vera to smile for any pictures, but we think she still looked adorable!
Faith Like a Mustard Seed
“For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20
I sometimes feel like my faith is so very small. God has been doing awesome things for our family, yet I still have times of worry and doubt. Even when I do have faith, it seems like it is only as big as a mustard seed.
This week we have yet another amazing story to tell of how God is providing for our family!
Tad and I have been a little worried about our debt to the hospital, since we still owed over $4000 for Vera’s birth and we will be adding probably around $6000 to that debt for Mango’s birth in February. I have been praying and trusting (in my small faith) that God would provide what we need to pay each hospital bill as it comes.
Today Tad tried to pay the monthly hospital bill online, but there was an error. He called the hospital to ask about it. They told him that our bill is $0 – and that it has been PAID with just a notation of “charity.” We still have no idea exactly what happened, other than that we serve a God who owns “the cattle on a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10)!
In our mustard-seed-sized-faith, we had been praying for each monthly bill, but God took our faith and moved a mountain!
Praise Him!
Weekend with Family
We were very blessed this weekend to be able to see both sides of our family! We spent Thanksgiving Day with Tad’s side of the family, and loved getting to see many people we hadn’t seen in a while. My camera was packed in my suitcase, so I don’t actually have any pictures from our time with them. But we enjoyed wonderful food, as well as good conversation and an invigorating walk after our meal.
We spent Friday and part of Saturday with my family and with my brother Phillip’s college roommate, Caleb. We had a great time with them as well! Here are some pictures.
