We recently as you know moved to Texas from Hawaii, due partly to Brad’s job, and also due to the fact that we felt very strongly it was time to leave Hawaii after only over a year, but you know, God doesn’t move the way we do! We laid out a fleece before God, He answered it all, so we knew He had confirmed the feeling that it was time to leave…only God puts on the heart of a company my husband had previously worked with to give us $10,000 to get our stuff and family to Texas…we actually made $600.00 in the end! When everything for the move was finalized we began looking at areas around San Antonio, God just kept tugging at our hearts about New Braunfels, a town with German roots about 35 miles outside of San Antonio. So we started looking at homes and for a church, and on the UPCI website a name jumped out at us…Leon Suggett, we met him about 4 years earlier in a revival in Eagle River, Alaska! So, we went to visit their church, and honestly things weren’t “perfect” but it felt like home, we felt love and a hot burning revival within those walls. When Bro Suggett saw us come in he freaked out, he then put two and two together, (The Sander’s had talked with him about us at conference) that is was us they were talking about! Only God moves that way, an evangelist you meet many years earlier becomes your pastor, not only does he know us, but he also knows what we went
through in Alaska. Another cool thing is our other van, we paid the payments on our van that was sitting at our friends house in Ohio for a whole long year, no matter how hard we tried we could not get rid of it, but you know, God was in that too, because we flew into Columbus, spent some time with the family, picked up that van and drove for 27 hours to Texas. Only God could keep our van in Ohio knowing we were going to need it to drive to Texas so our other van could be shipped directly there! God has blessed us with a beautiful house to rent, it is 4 bedroom/2 bath with the biggest backyard I have ever seen…really! I had seen it on craigslist awhile before we left Hawaii, so I e-mailed the owner telling him to keep us in mind if the house wasn’t rented by October, he probably thought I was crazy! You know though that is the house we are in, and I just love everything about it. When we met the owner he said there were 15-20 people who saw the house and they all wanted to rent it, but no one ever responded. He told us, I believe God wanted you to rent this house because it was like He held it for you…only God could hold a house for us for as long as He did! That is how He moves… Last weekend we had a revival with Bro Winslow, well he “called” my husband out and gave us confirmation about our ministry now and in the future…only God moves that way! He knew where we needed to be to hear those words from Him! Oh, how God moves, I’m so glad it is not how we move! I love y’all..
