Last weekend a student from Penn State brought over two bags of BEAUTIFUL girl baby clothes, which not only included a ton of name brand outfits, but also little shoes, some blankets, books, and wooden toys!
Just this last weekend we saw friends who gave us a jogging stroller, baby swing, and more blocks than I could ever imagine playing with!
And those are things that just happened- I don't think we specifically prayed for them. But when we got back from FL, Nate and I have been trying to pray together more and specifically for "things". We have been lifting up our funding especially as we need to see a significant amount come in before the year is over- not only that we would be bold in asking, but for God to lay us on people's hearts to give. God has answered us already in two people we didn't even currently intiate with wanting to give! They called us:)
And last week I tried to sign up for a child birth class in the area only to find out it was full:( I was quite distressed, but kept praying about it and asked to be put on the waiting list. Within 24 hours, a couple changed classes and we were in:)! This was a HUGE relief as it was the only class I knew of in the area that fit our crazy schedule.
Last week we also prayed about finding the title to our car so we could be legal and have it registered here in PA before our insurance ran out for the year. We had looked in all the important paper places we had here, and asked Nate's parents if they had it... We weren't sure if this was going to mean lots of extra money getting a new copy of the title or going through papers all thanksgiving break... Thankfully, Nate's mom emailed him last tuesday saying she had found it!!! And sent it to us so now we can get all registered and legal!!!
And lastly, on Friday night Nate spoke at NavNight- our student gathering of about 200 students. He was kinda stressed about it- but we prayed all week God would point him to what to speak on.... He ended up giving his testimony about how God saves. And did an AMAZING job! He feels like God just really carried him through!
I feel like everything we have prayed about, God is answering in really direct and amazing ways. I know that is not always the case, but I want to praise him for that for right now:)
And here are two pics of Nate speaking this week:

I like this!!
Except you wrote "I am really amazing and thankful for this." And I think you meant to write "amazed"...hahaha.
But, I think you're amazing anyways, so you can keep it if you want. <3
Yay for God answering prayer! And especially when he provides and we haven't even asked. He does say that he'll reward people who are awesome...and clearly you and Nate are!
"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does" - eph. 6:7-8 :)
Hello Damans! I'm not sure if Nate would remember, but I'm Ben Holt's younger sister. He had told me a little while back that the two of you had moved to Penn State and are working with the Navs. Penn State is where I graduated from and although I only attended Navs a few times (I was involved in NewLife with Johnny Pons-don't know if you know of it?), I think its amazing what you're doing. My husband's brother, Colin Bouchillon, was involved with Navs and may still be-does the name ring any bells? Well anyway, just wanted to stop and say hello! Also, congrats on the upcoming baby girl!! :) How exciting!
