More than enough!

So last Friday we had cereal for breakfast, and there was a half a box left over. Ang, always on top of things, whispered a prayer to God, noticing the depleted cupboard, and how we would need more soon.

Sunday after Church, a man approached us and asked us if we were the family from New Tribes Mission who experienced a blessing when a lady had walked up to us at the grocery store and handed us a $50 on the spot and ran off (Click Here for Story). Yeah, we were the family. I have no idea how he knew us, or the story, but he said he had another blessing for us: a van full of food.

Oh, Wow! He had so much food that we had to put a lot of it into another family's van to help us take it back to campus! Remember the cereal problem above? Picture several CASES of cereal! We filled our pantry full, and even had a box of beef pieces to put in the freezer! Wow! We took the rest (about half of what we received) to the "Food Room" where others can take and share food. I took a picture of our huge pantry that is so full, praise the Lord! I don't remember ever having this much food on our shelf except one other time of blessing when our church back home, Alton Bible, blessed our pantries with an enormous pile.

Thank You Lord, for your your loving provisions.
