We have been living in an RV in the Malone's driveway. An old RV....an old... moldy....RV. And while grateful for a roof and bed, it was hard. We had been living out of a bedroom in Gerry's house for a year, then into a hot, moldy bedroom in Jamaica, and now this. I guess we have so much of that American gluttony for comfort, the Lord has been determined to purge it out, or at least help us to see what is in our hearts, whether we want to or not!
Well....Abba had something up His sleeve....we are now living in a 3500 sq.ft. home on a Lake in Victorville California! A gift of a lovely Korean sister, who is allowing our mission staff to live there and enjoy her amazing home. After a hot day in the desert...believe me...this is an Oasis! She has given it to us, rent free, CRI only pays utilities. What a gift! We currently have 8 mission staff living there...some temporary, and 3 of us permanent full time. It's surreal to come home to such a huge, beautiful place and sit on our back patio which is directly on the water. I couldn't have rented a place like this for a week when I was working, let alone get to live in it for any length of time! I may be back in an RV at some point, or a tent....but knowing God always is looking out for my comfort and needs, makes me realize...I don't have to. I don't have to worry about what I eat, what I wear, or where I live....I'm like the ducks swimming by the patio without a worry....
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? .
