#5 Yahweh-Yireh

Our very first morning in town, we had breakfast at The Pop Stand, where the Lord provided us with free smiley face  pancakes as a warm welcome from Manager Matthew.

Later that day, as we were exploring Livingston, the Lord blessed us again when Barista Chip refused payment for our coffee drinks to welcome us to town.

When we returned home, our neighbor Cody and his loyal dog Buddy came by to welcome us to town with some homemade cupcakes that didn't last very long! (There were more, but we ate them!)

On Christmas, the Lord provided us with a free Christmas lunch with some of our new neighbors in Livingston where we met Mark who introduced us to Martha and Stew who invited us to their church. There were fliers that said, "Yes, this is a free lunch for you, but someone had to pay for it." and then brought it right back to the gospel: "Forgiveness is free for you, but Christ paid for it with His blood."

The Lord provided yet another unexpected and delicious free meal from Buffalo Wild Wings Manager Jeremy.

We met Jolene at church on New Year's Eve and she invited us to have some homemade elk soup. My first time eating elk! Delicious!

Our neighbor Annemari sent Evie home with a plateful of cookies and a loaf of yummy pumpkin bread that provided breakfast for us for two days.

So Abraham called the name of that place, "The LORD will provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided."  Genesis 22:14

My Husband Committed Suicide {Guest Post By Ricci McConnell-Hegland}

{Guest post by Ricci McConnell-Hegland } (Click HERE for Ricci's Trades Of Hope Fundraiser ) (Click HERE to contribute to suicide prevention and awareness ) Three words I thought I would never have to say at such a young age, and such a short but great marriage are, "I'm a widow." However at the age of 26 and only 3.5 years of a marriage under us, those are exactly the words I have to say. My husband vanished without a trace on December 22nd, 2012. For months we held hope that he was somewhere, either not in his right state of mind or in his right state of mind and just, for whatever reason, didn't want to do the family thing anymore. On May 24th the detective working the case wanted to come over and talk. He had something to show me. I knew right after he got off the phone with me that the news wasn't good. My heart fell to my stomach where I felt like it was caught with the net of knots that was in it. The detectiv...

"A dream without a plan is just a wish"

"A dream without a plan is just a wish." -Larry Elder RESOLUTION:  the state or quality of being resolute; firm determination; expression of desire or intent. A few years ago, my New Year's resolution was... to not make any more New Year's resolutions... And that's the first one I've kept. Ever. It seemed to me that the same people were making the same resolutions every year because they hadn't  accomplished them the previous year. I can count on one hand how many resolutions I know about that have made it past February. And I've personally never made a resolution that made it to the end of January, leaving me with feelings of guilt, failure, and hopeless frustration. Then this year I had a brilliant idea! This year, instead of resolutions, I would set real goals! GOAL:  an observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or less fixed time frame. The reason I kno...

"I am a widow; my husband is dead." 2 Samuel 14:5

*How you can help at the bottom of this post* Our marriage isn't perfect.  If someone were to tell me their marriage is perfect, I'd be happy for them that they're experiencing this sweet time of peace and unity... ... And I'd think, "just wait."  Inevitably, hard times will happen. It's what you do in those hard times that matters most. When my sister died , my world stood still for months and I experienced a whole range of emotions that I didn't even know I was capable of feeling. As imperfect as my marriage can be, I cannot imagine being told that I will never again experience the ups and downs of matrimony with Eric.  That my husband is dead.  But that's exactly what happened to my dear friend Ricci . We danced at their wedding. We couldn't have known it would end like this . Our thoughts keep going to what we could have done differently to stop this from happening... To stop him from taking his ow...
