I've read the book of Matthew a number of times, and Matthew 6, is one of my favorite chapters.  As a worrier the truth of it's scripture has provided me great comfort, and allowed me to re-center my heart and better align with the Lord.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly father knows that you

need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The truth is that we have trusted God to provide, over and over and over again.  But it's not easy.  It is a constant choice to trust that God will see His plan through.  We are confident that right now God has called Eric to full time ministry on the college campus.  We are confident that this call requires some sacrifice.  We are confident that sharing the gospel in this place is more than worth it. Having the opportunity to share the greatest news one will ever hear, and to welcome with open arms brothers and sister into the Kingdom, is priceless. 

We are reassured that as Paul writes to the church of Philippi, 

"In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 

                                                                                               that the good work began in our lives to serve here will be carried out to completion, trusting that is is the will of God.

As Eric pursues working in full time ministry with Cornerstone Christian Fellowship at ISU, and as we continue the support raising process, it is so crystal clear the incredible power in the name of Jesus!

We are continuing to pray for Ministry Team Partners, people and families who are passionate about sending   Eric (and I) out to reach the lost, and care for the students of ISU.

GOD is WORKING!  Today we have yet another partner, and are moving closer and closer to Eric's goal before he is released to work on campus in August.

Would you pray with us?  For us?  For ISU's campus?  For Cornerstone?  

Continuing to pray!
