God's Goodness!!!

So God has blown our mind once again. There is a wholesaler we are now picking up from once a month that give us a variety of dry goods, canned goods, bottled water, and pet food. This week was the second time we picked up from them. When I talked with my contact he said that he had two loads for us if we could take both of them. We said "OH YEAH". (Note: the first time we picked up it was only one load) So we call one of our friends that runs a food ministry that we give to and asked if they could take the whole first load. She started flipping out on the phone (in a good way).

"Dess you don't even know yesterday we were just praying that God would bless you and Joel with a pick up and that you would have more than one load."
I was freaking out. God is so good to answer prayers.

Then when we got to the warehouse we were talking to my contact about life and he said so who do you know in our company. Joel and I just shrug cause we really don't know any one. Then he went into the story of how they used to donate to 80 other groups but just recently he personally had to call all 80 groups and tell them they could not give to them ANY MORE. And now they only give to 3 groups and we were one of the 3.

This blew our minds. Can you just freak out for me. Because I was like trying to run this God idea through my little head. "So God they stopped giving to 80 groups because of the economy and they just didn't have anything for them any more. Then our Associate pastor of our church says that he has a contact in the this specific grocery chain and to call him we do and we get the hook up. Are you for real. God we are no buddy BUT you are somebody. Thank you God."

So that is our awesomely crazy God story. We feel so blessed and priveldge that God considers us worthy to be his hands and feet.

And passing out the food to the churches and individuals we are hearing testimony after testimony of God moving.

There was one man we give to that God has put on our hearts to give to directly. Well in our big load of items we picked up we got dog food. Both Joel and I knew he had dogs and thought of giving to him but forgot. So today we called him and said we had dog food for him. Comes to find out that he had just given his lost dollar (for pet food) to his daughter who really needed gas money. AFter he had agreed to give his only pet food money away we called 15 minutes later and said we had dog food for him. Can you believe our God He is just too awesome.

So that is what God is doing here in Stockton California. We feel blessed he called us here to be His hands and feet and Love.

God's Love,
