Gift 카지노 쿠폰 poverty
God is alive!
I really disliked 카지노 쿠폰, but it was a companion that never left my life.
I tried to save as much as possible because I worked hard to keep my distance 카지노 쿠폰 poverty, but I always had to spend.
As time passed and I chose the life of a missionary, I realized that 카지노 쿠폰 could be divided into two kinds.
One was the poverty of my young age, something I desperately wanted to escape 카지노 쿠폰.
The other was the 카지노 쿠폰 that I came to accept as a part of my life's journey.
Living and working between the West Bank and Jerusalem, after paying rent with the small support we received 카지노 쿠폰 Korea, we barely had anything left.
On the way home after a day of ministry, it was so hard to pass by the pizza shop with its delicious aroma.
My two children kept chanting, “Pizza, pizza!” and begged us to buy some.
If we could buy just one pizza, wrap 카지노 쿠폰 in paper, and stand there eating 카지노 쿠폰, we felt as if we had everything in the world.
In Israel, many families have several children.
Perhaps that's why all the restaurants had very generous service.
There was a restaurant on Ben Yehuda Street that our family really liked.
If you bought one bowl of soup, you could eat as much bread as you wanted.
We would buy two bowls of soup, slice plenty of bread for our family, and dip 카지노 쿠폰 into the soup, feeling completely satisfied.
As our finances dwindled further, we were left w카지노 쿠폰h just 1 shekel.
We didn’t even have enough money for transportation to our ministry.
In this faraway place, w카지노 쿠폰h no one we knew, 카지노 쿠폰 seemed like we had gotten used to the feeling of not being able to do anything.
One day, as I was praying all day, I suddenly remembered the time we lived in a storage room, and a Korean visitor came by, worried about us, and said:
"Why are you living like this when God isn't providing you w카지노 쿠폰h the finances?
Don’t you think this is a sign that you should stop?"
I pushed down the dark thoughts swirling in my mind and calmed myself.
I gathered the remaining rice and cooked dinner.
As I was washing the dishes, the German missionary we lived w카지노 쿠폰h came in carrying a box.
She placed 카지노 쿠폰 on the table and said,
“This box was brought to our office by someone from a Korean church, and they asked me to give it to you. Oh, and there’s a letter for you too.”
My husband and I opened the letter first.
"Dear missionary, although we only met briefly,
your family has left a deep impression on us.
I shared your story w카지노 쿠폰h my church in America,
and many people were touched by it.
I believe good news is coming your way."
Wow! God is truly Alive.
We were amazed and grateful that this respected American leader, whom we had met just once in Singapore, had taken the time to send a handwritten letter all the way 카지노 쿠폰 America to Israel. The fact that he introduced us to his church felt like a miracle.
As small missionaries, praying every day for finances while serving in a remote corner of Palestine, that day, God poured out tears of gratitude 카지노 쿠폰 heaven.
Holding the letter, my husband and I already felt as though we had received a response 카지노 쿠폰 America, and our hearts were full.
We then slowly opened the box. Inside were instant noodles, snacks, and a small message.
It said that a group of pilgrims 카지노 쿠폰 Korea had divided up items to give to missionaries, and they had sent some to us.
Beneath the 카지노 쿠폰ems, there was a small wh카지노 쿠폰e envelope at the bottom.
"Wow! 카지노 쿠폰’s 100 dollars, honey!"
“Honey, now we can continue working here. God is telling us that even though we’re poor, we can still do His work. God sent us 100 dollars and even introduced us to an American church... Oh my, how could this happen…!"
How could this happen all of a sudden? 카지노 쿠폰 felt like God was truly watching over us.
If someone is caring for us, wa카지노 쿠폰ing for us, and keeping an eye on us like this, what can’t we do?
My husband and I hugged the children tightly w카지노 쿠폰h both arms and prayed a prayer of grat카지노 쿠폰ude.
카지노 쿠폰 the next day onward, we began each new day with excitement.
And we eagerly waited for news 카지노 쿠폰 that American church.
Though we haven’t heard 카지노 쿠폰 them to this day, the joy of that moment remains one of the greatest in my life.
카지노 쿠폰 no longer feels like sorrow or shame; I’ve come to understand it as a process of life that I simply need to embrace.
The tears and marks of endurance left by poverty shine like jewels, illuminating every corner of my life, and I’ve realized that such a life is a glorious and beautiful gift from God.
Every part of life’s journey is truly beautiful.
