October of 2014 Mike and I made a road trip to Cedeno to visit a family who had prayed for many years for a home. Upon arrival without the family knowing we came upon the entire family on their front porch. Andres and Suyapa were helping Maria and Lupa with homework. I knew right away we had come upon a huge blessing in this four member family. We asked them would they like a home in 2015. Suyapa immediately started crying sharing how long she had prayed for this day to come. We shared what all they needed to do before January 6, 2015. We decided to place Pittsboro Baptist team with this family. God's choice in connecting these two groups of people together was the making of a beautiful week. Before we left on that October afternoon we gathered around and prayed with Andres and family. Suyapa was still crying and feeling overwhelmed with the unexpected news on this October afternoon. God humbled my heart that day. The solicitation forms we receive from the pastors is so much more than a piece of paper with the information of the families on them. It is emotions rolled up into a need, sometimes a dire need for a home where you can be safe dry and comfortable each day. These are privileges we sometimes take for granted. God's provisions should not ever be taken for granted on any level. We are all blessed with our needs daily and need to thank God for them.
"And my God will supply every need of yours according to HIS riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19
