| We have a rather Big green bean patch. One that you can pick over 17
gals in one picking and still not get them all picked. While I was out
picking one day this lesson came to mind. The green bean plants don't
worry about weather or not they will be watered or if the sun will
shine or even if they will get picked. They just grow and bear fruit
the way that God designed them to.
What about us? Do we ask God to take care of our problems and then
worry about them because we don't think that God can handle them? Or do
we truly give God our everyday problems and leave them at his feet to
take care of and not worry about the out come? Or are we worrying how
the money will come in to pay the next bill or for me (being able to
pay for my up coming mission trip) or do we just ask God to bless our
work and leave the bills up to him? He owns everything its not like he
can't take care of us. And if he wants you to go on a mission trip then
he will provide the funding for it, but he isn't just going to give it
to us we have to do our part too.
God wants us to give him our all and not to worry about how we will
be able to meet our own needs. ("But seek yet first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of its self. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" Matthew 6:33,34) This verse is telling us not to worry about
tomorrow because it will worry about itself.
("And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of a doubtful mind.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and
your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.") Luke 12:29,30
These two verses are telling us that we don't have to doubt God's
ability to take care of us. He is a loving Father and He will not let
us go without the things we need. Such as food and clothing etc...
Dear Friends please lay all on the alter today. God WILL take care of you

| I
broke my tail bone in April. I was ridding a horse and the saddle was
loose and it turned and off I went. He has just started into a full run
and I fell off just as he was going over the driveway of the people
next door. I lay there for about 20 mins then pulled myself onto the
lawn where Lad was standing happly eatting grass he just looked at me
like whats wrong with you? Then a little while later Lisa came home and
saw me there and asked what happened of course I was in to much pain to
really walk. So I just kinda forced myself to her truck and she took me
home then walked Lad home. (He was just happy to eat the grass so
wasn't about to run off)
Mom was in town at the vet's so know
nothing of all this she didn't even know I was going to ride lad that
day. So when she got home she found me in lots of pain. I passed out
about 6 times cuz the pain was so bad. At one point I asked Mom if it
was just a bad dream. I haven't eatten lunch and some friends where
over it was about 4 or so in the afternoon at this point and her
Daughter who was 9 insisted that I eat so she gave me something to eat
and milk to drink she was really sweet. All this time I was usely
moaning or crying. Ho the young man that was with us from Korea had
brought a mattress down from upstares for me to sleep on. And I finely
got to sleep then about 10 he woke me and wanted to know if I wanted a
pain killer having been woke up and filling the pain again I was like
sure so he got me something for the pain. Then the next day when Mom
and Dad went to chruch as all this happened on firday. Lea had called
and I told her what happened and she told my sister Rachel and they
both thought that I need to see a DR. So I went to get looked at that
was the first time in my life I had been seen by a Dr they did catscans
of my brain and tail bone. I was fine so they just gave me some pain
killers which I only took 3 of since I didn't like the way they made me
act. And he told me not to walk on my left leg. So I was in bed for
about 5 weeks or so. So thats the story of my first broken bone.
Hopefully the only one.
As some of you know I left home July
10th to join a canvassing program in New York State. It was a real
blessing and I enjoyed my time there. While I was there My best friend
Kristina Reeve asked if I would like to come a live with her and I said
yes. She then asked her Mother and Dad who had never met me though
heard about me. They said sure so on Aug 21st I flew into WA state, we
got home at 2:30 I think it was. We where very tired and went right to
sleep.
Our first Sabbath here was spent out of doors at a
church camp out. We had a lot of fun there. I got to play with a poodle
which was lots of fun as I have been missing my dogs a lot. I had fun
climbing a MTN with Mother & Dad along with one other person and
the dog. I learned how to mount moths that was really neat I had never
tried doing anything like it before.
I have really been enjoying
my time here. Its fun learning massage and being Sissy's nurse. The
MTNs are so pretty here and its so peaceful.
Thats just a little update on whats going on if you want more info drop me a line would love to hear from you.
God Bless
