Jehovah Jireh

We have been very encouraged this last week by how the Lord is leading people in regards to our future ministry.  In a month of support raising we are at 20%!!  This weekend we attended a homeschooling conference.  The speakers were excellent and i learned a ton.  I am still praying about what curriculum i need to do for the Fall and our time in Madagascar.  It is overwhelming to think that far ahead but the Lord is faithful and He will guide me through it.  There is just so much good stuff to choose from and the needs of my daughters are so different.

Something really cool happened while we were there.  I was asking a speaker a question about curriculum after a session and told her about our plans to go to Madagascar and where we had served before.  She stopped me and said "we give all of our curriculum to missionaries for free".  I was just stunned and burst into tears.  It was such an unexpected blessing.  I had looked at the really cool stuff her booth had but knew that it was too expensive when i have so many grades to get for the girls.  And then an hour later, the Lord just handed it to me.  All 3 of the kids will be so blessed by it but especially Luke.  It is perfect for him and all he needs.  He is now marked off my list!  It was just incredible.  I highly recommend www.thehomegrownpreschooler.com   For several reasons obviously.

At each step of this process, i am just so humbled and so overwhelmed by God's gracious hand providing for our every need.  He IS Jehovah Jireh...THE GOD WHO PROVIDES!

Interwoven

I really get excited about what the Lord has for us as I see Him working in other believers lives.  We have had such a wonderful opportunity these last few months to speak to different groups of people both in church settings and one on one.  Though the travel has been tiring, it has been a blessing.  As we have talked about where the Lord is sending us and about what we expect the Lord to do in Madagascar, we have also been blessed to be able to pray with people and hear about the needs of those we get connected with.  We don't see this as a venture in How can you support and pray for the Johnsons.  No, this is so much more than that.  We have been able to encourage and pray with and for families in turmoil, health situations, mission discussions for future missionaries to the nations, and so many other things AS we are trying to be faithful in what the Lord has called us to overseas.  Many say to us, it must be hard to now be raising your own support.  I can honestly say, it has

The Unexpected

The last 7 months have been so many things.  We settled into our temporary home in Florida quickly and have had wonderful fellowship with missionaries who have retired here after serving 20 up to even 50 years of service in Africa!!  Florida culture is different than we expected and much more transient.  There are SO many cultures represented here from all over the US and the World.  The children adjusted well to our new home once the homesickness began to fade.  They have had many unexpected opportunities.  They both played 2 months of rec soccer and then began taking gymnastics.  They have had several opportunities to spend time with the residents here on a regular basis like taking piano lessons from our next door neighbor and a pottery class upon our arrival and lots of bike riding. We have also had special friends come from Mississippi and gotten to spend time with dear friends returning from the field.  Lew's mom came for a visit and my parents made the long journey as well.
