God Math

    I (Robin) was talking to my mom when she and I came up with the title of this blog.  At first it was almost in a joking manner, however as we talked more and dwelled on it, the title seemed very appropriate.

We talked about Ephesians 3:20-21 that says, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurable more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

This word "immeasurable" struck something within me.  Without measure.  Surely it makes sense there would be a limit on how much we should receive.  But there isn't!  God wants to give his children an infinite supply of whatever we need.  Not want, mind you, but need.  This isn't just meaning money or physical things, either.  This is talking about spiritual gifts, revelation from the Lord, more of his presence in our lives and so much more. We are asking for a significantly large amount of money, however we have to believe that God is going to give us ALL that we need.  No amount is too large for God!  God math doesn't make sense to man sometimes, but we believe in what His final answer adds up to.


We as a family are looking to God for our supply, and we know he'll provide it!  We would love for you to partner with us and help sustain us in this journey.
There are a number of ways to help.  We will first and foremost need the prayers of our family and friends as we continue to listen to God's call on our lives.  We will be blogging about our prayer needs in our next blog.  We will also need help financially.  If you feel that God has laid it on your heart to give, we very much appreciate you answering.

There are several ways to give:
1.) Tuition for Brian -  Tuition will be $4200.00
2.) Missions trip - The mission trip is dependent on the amount of money given, and also where God lays on Brian's heart.
3.) Living expenses - As stated in the first post, we are both going to be looking for jobs but we would like as much free time from work to be with our family and to dedicate time to learning more about the things of God.  Your gifts in this area would help us to do both.

Feel free to give a one time gift, or if you feel led, a monthly gift.  If you have any questions about giving, please don't hesitate to ask.  You will find a more detailed list of our financials below.  Thanks again for all you are doing in helping us with this adventure.
