Greetings!    

 I have a dear friend, Colleen Janssen who always managed to show up at our house at just the right moment and time of need. It was so remarkably consistent that I nicknamed her "Just-In-Time Janssen."

Overtime, I have learned that I serve a 'Just-In-Time God.' The timing of God's supply trains me to wait on Him and know Him as my Provider in surprising ways. For example, I realized quite suddenly one evening just before Thanksgiving and while still very ill, that I could not put up our Christmas tree. A profound, painful sadness followed. As Tom is my witness, a few minutes later, the phone rang and
a woman I barely knew at the time said she was feeling lead to bring her family over to put up and decorate our tree. Would I like that? Bless you, Belinda Sandy, for listening to the nudge from that still small voice! Another day, I had the goal of getting just one load of laundry done for my family. There, the basket of dirty clothes sat, my energy sapped. A practical stranger stopped by, noticed the basket and before I could object, took the clothes home to launder. Bless you, Halle Meyer, for your small deed of great encouragement. To God be the glory for your act of kindness. Friends, we serve a powerful God, Who is also tender towards us and sensitive to our needs. Since God knows our needs even before we do, may this month's newsletter encourage us to run to Him first.

Philippians 2:19-20 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
