What happens when: you're blessed beyond recognition

To be blessed beyond recognition obviously implies that you do not recognized how blessed you are even when you are surrounded by your blessings day in and day out. When this happens we tend to fall prey to complaining and being dissatisfied with what we have...if only I had _____, life would be so much better.

We can have a house with two cars in the drive-way, well behaved, imaginative children, a wonderful spouse even though you have those rough patches. Not that I would know much, if anything about marital uproar since I have never been married, it's just an example. But there are just some blessings we are so privileged to have that we see everyday, but it's only a passing glance.

Or maybe you recognize your blessing and are continuously thankful of it, but perhaps with this blessing, you are more blessed than originally thought. That's kind of confusing, let me explain through my own recognition (if you've read this on facebook...well it's worth telling again because I am TOO excited about how God led me to it by simple providence).

Much about my support raising to go back to Bosnia has not been a huge stressor. God has blessed my life with beautiful people who care about the world and those who want to go out into it for the Kingdom. They continue their prayers for me and I cannot thank them enough.

Last night I was counting the support money to make sure I had done my math correctly in confirming that with all the support considered I would have the full $1800 I needed for Bosnia. In doing the math again I got the same figure as last time $1873, that's $73 over budget. After getting that done and praising the Lord that he has provided for me yet again and then some, I looked at the calendar I keep on my computer. Come to find out when I started raising support back in September I had put on the date of March 6th (the halfway mark of my leaving for Bosnia) a goal of having $900 on this date. I figured half way date, half of the money, seems logical.

Well when I checked this I looked at the time, it was 12:30am March 6th. Today is the half way mark to leave for Bosnia. I have all of the money I need. And then some.

I have all the money I need. And then some.

I just needed to emphasize that if you didn't catch it. So not only did God bless me with half the money, but all of it on the date in which I had set a goal for only half. God blessed me more than I originally thought and I am praising him for that....a lot.

Thank God for His continuous and non-failing grace, love, and faithfulness to us.

All to God
