Remember the song line from Sound of Music, "I must have done something good in my childhood..."? The star was trying to figure out why something good so good could be happening in her life because she knew in her heart she did not deserve it...Well, I came to Bethel Church in obedience and not really wanting to leave my beloved Alaska, but what I immediately started to receive was exceedingly abundantly above all I asked or thought...God has visited and spoken to me so personally since my arrival. Even during my stay, the first weeks with Laura and Lucas, (pictured above)...I had dreams every other night or so from the Lord, revealing things to me, and coming to me with His love...it was so incredible. I know I didn't do something good in my childhood, in fact I was quite aware of how bad I was! but God knew what to do about that...need I say more? He is the one who did something good! He sent His Son and all the blessings, favor and goodness coming our way are because and only because He is good (all the time)!
A side note about Laura and Lucas....Laura knew me when she was a teen in Fairbanks, and found me on myspace in January right about the time I was seeking confirmation for my Redding relocation...and of course she was here in Redding, going to church at Bethel. We wrote and became friends all Spring and she, along with her precious husband Lucas offered me a place to stay for a bit, when I arrived. They were wonderful to me and helped me in a 1000 small ways and now they are like my family here in Redding along with Trenton, Sky, Trinity and Trusty...He puts the solitary in families!
