It's Official - God is so.... God!

The Greers (James, Sheri & Daniel) are going to Guatemala! James is leading the Rookie Trip to Guatemala during Spring Break. This is James' 3rd trip. This is the first one he has led. He has such a passion for the people of Guatemala.

This year, God was calling me to go. I knew He wanted me to go. As we began praying about how we would come up with the money for me, which we knew He would do, we both felt as if God was telling us Daniel should go. We weren't sure about him, being that he is 11 years old. We just put it off and began putting money provided for our trip into our (God's) account. James had some money left from his previous trips, he did some plumbing work and asked for a donation to his trip instead of payment. Then, one of James clients, a very wealthy one I might add, gave him a $500 cash donation. This lady, was going to give it to James for Christmas and she didn't see him, so she saved it until she saw him. He told her about the trip and she said it was meant to go for his trip. He couldn't get to the church fast enough. He was so excited!

More and more people began signing up for the trip. A couple from the church is coming with their 2 kids. Their kids are 8 and 11. I thought, why shouldn't Daniel go then. We began praying, knowing God was to provide, just how?

We knew if we were going, we needed passports. Daniel and I both needed them. I am such a procrastinator sometimes. It kills my husband, he's so OCD. Daniel has 1/2 days on Wednesdays, so I kept him out of school and we went to the downtown post office to wait. We heard so many stories about how long we would have to wait and get ready for a day of waiting. We got there early, due to I thought it opened at 8:00 a.m. I thought we were geting there 20 minutes late, instead we were 40 minutes early. Even God can use my ignorance to His advantage. I would have swore it said 9:00 a.m. on the websites. I haven't checked to make sure, but it's ok. We went on Wednesday, January 30th and got them in the mail on Friday, Febrary 8th, 9 days! God is so good! Now we are set with the passports, now we just need the money!

Here's the most awesome news of all! On Friday, February 1st, James got a call. This person, who is to remain anonymous, gave such a blessing! Way far than we could have ever asked dreamed or hoped for. They asked James about his fund raising and what the plans were while we are in Guatemala. James told them we had been praying about Daniel going and I was still needing money. Well.........., they gave $10,000! WHAT! You saw it right, $10,000. They wanted to provide our way financially, then provide the children in Guatemala with clothes and food. WOW!

Can you say, AMEN?!?!?!?!?!
