Filled to Overflowing

Filled to overflowing...


The Chip In account.  Twice a goal has been set.  Twice it has been exceeded.  All because of His overwhelming generosity displayed through the donations and prayers of so many of you.  Thank you!


Filled to overflowing...


The suitcase that sits in the corner of my room.  A testimony to His mercy.  Two cases of formula are here.  Two more will arrive this week.  A little girl has been lavished with love by Him through you.  And additional funds have allowed for the purchasing of even more supplies including much needed nebulizers that will be used by many of the other children.


Filled to overflowing...


This mother's heart as two little girls made their way to my room the other night, fists tightly clinched around wrinkled bills.  "Will it be enough?" they asked as I counted.  Yes.  Enough for one more can of formula for little Rosie.  They beamed and I marveled.  And was reminded once again that God is doing a thousand things in everything He does. (Piper)


Filled to overflowing...


The heart of a Father towards His children. "He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in reckless abandon. His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear out..."


And He invites us to join Him.
To receive.
To give.
To love.
And to be filled to overflowing with Him.



God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways 
so that you're ready for anything and everything, 
more than just ready to do what needs to be done. 
As one psalmist puts it,    
He throws caution to the winds,
giving to the needy in reckless abandon.
His right-living, right-giving ways
never run out, never wear out.
This most generous God 
who gives seed to the farmer 
that becomes bread for your meals 
is more than extravagant with you. 
He gives you something you can then give away, 
which grows into full-formed lives, 
robust in God, 
wealthy in every way, 
so that you can be generous in every way, 
producing with us great praise to God.

2 Corinthians 9: 8-11 (The Message)

  2. My Sweet Angela, I did not know the name or the circumstances of this precious little girl waiting for you to come to China. Your heart is so overwhelming with love and giving, I do know how it stays in your sweet, caring body. I truly thank our Lord for you and all that He does with YOU and YOUR FAMILY. I love you, Mom
