faithful God

It has been a busy couple of weeks. 

Emails, meetings, running the girls around, etc...

I feel like I am treading water and sometimes I let it get to me. 

I get overwhelmed, frustrated, discouraged. 

But God. 

Don't you love how He is always right on time? 

He is always faithful - even when I am faithless. 

Faithful God. 

I was just lamenting to a friend yesterday about how I felt the need to do more to get 

The Forgotten Initiative "out there." 

I was feeling discouraged 

by the lack of support I sense from pastors I have talked to. 

I want to see the "likes" on our facebook page growing in number everyday, 

but its not happening as fast as I think it should. 

Struggling between knowing that the Lord is more than able 

to inspire His people 

and the responsibility that lies one me 

to be proactively putting myself and the TFI message out there. 

Then the Lord lovingly reminded me that He is in control.

Last night at our adoption support group, 

I was handed a bag full of baby boy goodies to fill a Journey Bag. 

Then I got home to an email saying that 24 more bags are being filled, 

a Girl Scout group is going to pack Journey Bags as a service project, 

and a lady who works for Bright House is hosting a drive at work 

for items off our shopping list!

He's got it!

I don't need to fret. 

It doesn't matter how many "likes" we have (or don't have) on Facebook.

His heart is for the fatherless and He is blessing this ministry. 

So, 12 bags from a dear friend and her co-workers

24 bags from a ladies bible study 

56 bags from Rock Harbor Church

3 more from individuals wanting to take part...

and this is just the beginning!

I have the opportunity to share about TFI at another MOPS group on April 12th.

More bags will be handed out at our church on April 15th.

I have been invited to speak at a friend's church on Sunday April 29th.

And lots more opportunities to speak to MOPS groups, 

women's bible study groups, and small groups have been offered, 

just need to set the dates. 

I may not be able to see it all, 

but God is moving and working behind the scenes

to see the forgotten in Bakersfield ministered to by His love.

Thank you, Lord for reminding me of your faithfulness. 

Even when I am faithless, You remain faithful. 

To God be the glory, great things He is doing!!
