Today I stand amazed at our God's faithfulness. Each day I wake up and wonder how He's going to do it, how He's going to supply all that I need personally and all that we need as a ministry.
When worry, fear and frustration creeps in He's consistently reminds me "I've got this". He teaches me EVERY DAY to leave it at His feet
And you know what? I am so encouraged when my head hits the pillow and I reconsider my day, He shows me how He's done it. It's often not how I expect, but how boring would life and my walk with Him be if He only accomplished things just how I expected Him to?? That's the excitement of the road He's leading us down. Not knowing how or when but only being sure that He will. That is His promise to us, that He will provide in every way, in His perfect timing. And He's never late. 

As I look at where we are as a ministry, I am overwhelmed with the ways the Lord directs us, through counsel, through prayer, through peace.  

I'm blessed with the way He unifies us, though difficult sometimes, we have all decided we are willing to walk through it to receive what He has for us on the other side. And He's quick to show us how He wants to use us when we obey, truly amazing.

I'm encouraged by the people He has standing with us, family, friends, prayer partners, pastors and congregations, the support and encouragement we daily receive is mind blowing. 

But that all goes hand in hand with His promise to us; that He will supply our every need and He will refine us, teach us, move us and redirect us as He sees fit. I know the vision is great, but our God is greater and stronger and eager to show us how much He loves us. I pray that I will be eager to show Him how much I love Him by trusting Him, obeying Him and just spending quality time with Him each day.  I pray that encourages you, just journaling what He's currently doing in my life encourages me. 

As we hit our 30 day count down to our big premiere of A Walk with Paul, we are excited (and breathing very deeply!), the production is so much bigger than Joel and I are capable of putting together (even with the help of 8 wonderful women) but I know that is exactly where the Lord wants us so His strength and power will show through, we have no choice but to rely on Him! It may feel so redundant but we really appreciate your prayers, we currently are praying for energy, stamina and focus! Especially during the 2 o'clock hour, when the giggles and exhaustion sets in. Oh we have a lively bunch, I can honestly say my sides hurt every day from laughing so hard, these ladies are so great and such a bunch of fun. Now back to cracking the whip...

Thanks so much! We love you all.
Blessings,
Tennille
