Just enough poutine!!!

I am constantly amazed at God's provision. I shouldn't be, but it is His creativity that makes me smile. Let me share with you another example of this.


Yesterday morning I was having my quiet time with God and I was praying and thanking God for many things. I love to just sit in His presence and listen and pray. I was praying specifically for our drop in last night and was thinking about the food, which is always popular among our friends there. 



One of the little girls had asked if we could ever bring poutine, because that was her favorite food. I told her that I would try to do that sometime soon but couldn't make any promises. As I was praying I felt like this was the night to do it but I was unsure how to best do it and at the same time keep it warm. I asked for some ideas on facebook, and good ideas were sent to me.


It was now 4:30 and we head to the outreach site and set up for 5;30 and I received a facebook message from a friend that indicated a local restaurant that had great poutine. I replied that it would be great but on short notice I didn't know if the restaurant could get the poutine ready and that it would be very pricey to buy poutine for 35-40 people at that restaurant. She replied, don't worry about it, I will order it, pick it up, drop it off and pay for it. 


Just like that my prayer was answered and God provided. He did it by putting the need on someones heart and they wanted to bless us and the people we minister to. By the way we had enough food to cover close to 40 people and some had seconds and thirds.


It was also supposed to rain last night and the night before. On both occasions the rain let up for a couple of hours for us to do what we are called to do there and then began to rain as we were leaving. I love God's provision as we wait on Him before we get a house to move into. 


Please keep praying. God is providing for us and we continue to wait on Him for future provision. I am reminded everyday that this is His ministry that He called into being. He is the Sustainer and Provider and we are simply His hands and feet.
