God Is Faithful

I probably have some OCD. I like numbers. But I think God does too (likes numbers, I mean).


Among the members of our small group last year,



9

(of 10)

people prayed for 9 new jobs...



10



new jobs given out. No I didn't miscount. One person got two last year. Nice touch with the freebie.*



8

people asked for help with their job training. Everyone passed, pilots included (whew).



7

times prayed for babies...everyone made it.



6

people asked for help with their marital struggles...again, everyone made it.



5

chronic illnesses alleviated.**



4

new seekers, with a ton of questions, who now call themselves Christians, with a ton of questions.

some who had promised never to try another church.



3

new homes for three couples, two moving away from the city



2

sick moms*** who are out of the woods.



1

baptism


If that is not God I don't know what is.



* I almost didn't believe this number until I tallied everyone: j= air tran to florida west, h=raven homes and s.florida mortgage co., d=dixie to vanity fair, t=ted turner pilot to flight safety, d=cooper lighting to Mobile Media Enterprises, d=side job to FAA, m=enrolled as mba student, j=southside, d=new third child under three years old. Yes, I definitely count that as a full time job.

In September we formed a new group, and learned two new people were looking for work. Now in October they both have jobs.
On Tuesdays M's new job lets him leave early from work so he can drive the hour long commute to group.

I don't think we did anything noteworthy to deserve any of the blessings. I will say we were very specific, consistent and passionate about these job prayer requests.

**Group members had: vestibular neuritis, colitis, chronic ear infections, severe asthma, psoriasis. Helped by doctors/chiropractors.

***Breast cancer (double mastectomy) and brain tumor
