I Did Not Feel Like My Fountain Was On

Today has been a very long day. I only got few hours of sleep, because I am so determed to unpack and have my house organized. I took the kids to school (they need to be at school by 7:30 am). After driving about twenty minutes, Jordan started saying she was going to "throw up", I thought she was just saying that because she didn't want to go to school, so I said: Jordan, you are fine. Well, few minutes later, she did throw up all over her close and the car seat. At that point I was a little stressed, so I decied to drop Eben off at school, and drive about 30 min back home to take care of Jordan. Needless to say. I felt terrible for thinking she was not really sick.

We got home and after giving her a shower and taking care of her, she felt fine. I still needed to clean up the mess.

By now, my plans for the day were changing, but I still had to go to the grocery store, make phone calls to this guy to come and spray our house for the third time(very normal in Brazil), and also, call an eletrician to come fix few things around the house.

Garo was taking care of Jordan, working on his report and getting our gas conneted to our stove, all that,before he had to go to Portuguese Class. So, as you can tell, a very busy day.

When Garo left to class, I kept cleaning and unpacking boxes. Meanwhile, the guy came in to spray the house. We started talking and he started telling me how he had had all his tools stolen over the weekend,and that he was feeling very discouraged, because that is how he makes money to help support his family. I felt really bad hearing him talking and I asked if me and the kids could pray for him. All of the sudden, I forgot about all I had to do, and got so mad with the enemy for doing this to this hard-working man. After encouragin him, he said he was feeling better and had faith that God was going to turn this situation around. We are believing for a miracle for this man.

After he left, the eletrician came in, and Garo got back from Portuguese Class. So, they were talking and working together and at the end of the evening, the eletrician was having dinner with us and we were sharing about the Lord and His goodness.

I started thinking about a verse that a friend sent me this week that truly blessed me and I hope it will bless you too.

"for with You is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light." ps. 36:9

The Lord spoke to me and said : If you are always available, I will always make my fountain in you spring forth life.

I felt so honored that even though, we were not out to minister, the Lord brought two people in side of our home and showed us, once again, that if we are available to Him, our fountain will be on, even when we don't feel like it.

My encouragement to you is, be available to the Lord at ALL time, giving Him permission to come any time of the day, any where and use you. It is such an awesome feeling! At the end of the day it is ALL ABOUT HIM!

Love you all! Thanks for sharing this journey with us!

PS. We had delicious spagetti for dinner tonight.
