Seek his face not his hand

I had all three of our trucks repossessed. I have never experienced that before. It was a really tough situation. After my husband went home to be with Jesus, I was left with very little. My paycheck could not keep up with our lifestyle and his businesses. They had to go.

During that time, it looked bleak. It looked like I would be in debt for a very long time. It looked like I would be living in a van down by the river. (Not really
that bad but pretty close)
I came to a great calmness about it all, I talked to God and said - if that is where you want me to be- I will go there. I knew that no matter where I stood financially God was with me. That is exactly where I wanted to be, in his will, in his arms, and in his love.
If you take everything from me, I will still love you and trust you.
I learned exactly how to seek his face and not his hand. I learned only to focus on the promises he gave us. I learned how to pray about those promises like they were true. I never asked for a million dollars, but I did believe that he would take care of me and my boys.
Psalm 23:6a -Certainly goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life….
Will Goodness and faithfulness and beauty and love and unfailing kindness follow you or will it be more like stalking you? ( in a good way) It will chase you down and pursue you! – All the days of your life. - He is coming after you! Blast this one today – https://youtu.be/n0FBb6hnwTo
Goodness of God - By Jenn Johnson
I believe that if you focus on him, he will provide. Everything worked out exactly how it should of, in the exact time at the right place. I am doing well, I am not living by the river in a van, and I am continuing to focus on his face and his presence above all else.
He will provide & he loves you so much, He will track you down!
