Speechless Again!
Well once again I found myself speechless. God once again showed me how little faith that I have. Let me give you some background. For quite sometime now we have been searching and praying for a sound system for LifePoint. In the mean time we have been using a borrowed system, that has gotten us by, but every week it seems to be slowly going out. Last Sunday as I was standing in the front row I could barely hear the singers. I went back to check with the sound guy and he pointed to the sound board indicating that everything was turned up all the way. To say the least I was a little frustrated. So this week I really started searching high and low for a system that would fit our needs. On Monday I received a call from a guy in our church who plays in our band and he said he heard about a guy that has a sound system and he wants to sell it. So I'm like cool I'll call him and go look at it. So on Wednesday night I drove out to see what this guy had to offer. He not only had a sound system, but he also had a lighting system that he wanted to sell. And I'm talking a complete set, everything that we need all sitting at this guys house. So I asked, "How much?" He said he would sell everything for $2,500! So at this point, without showing my excitement, shouted we'll take it! So now your thinking we bought the system and lived happily ever after, well if you are then your wrong. He started to second guess himself in wanting to sell it. So as I left I just told him to talk it over with his wife and pray about what he wants to do. And I will call him tomorrow.
So I my way home that night I prayed that God would work in this mans heart and that he would want to sell the system to LifePoint. Oh and also that somehow God would give us the $2,500 needed to buy it. Oh yeh, we didn't have the money:o) Called some people asked them to pray about the situation, Kendra and I prayed then went to bed.
On Thursday I started calling around to see if there was some money laying around somewhere that someone would like to give LP just in case this guy wanted to sell the system. Around 4:00pm on Thursday I called and left a message, at 5:00pm he called back. He said" Kevin after much prayer and talking with my wife we have decided to give you the sound and lighting system". I'm like great! (now thinking where am I going to get the money to pay this guy tonight?) Then he said again" yeh we are going to just give you the system. I'm like what did you just say? He said you can have the system we are giving it to you no cost. FREE!!! At that point it finally sunk in and I started to cry, then I said to him, if you were in front of me right now I would kiss you! I think he got a little scared. LOL I was in the car with Shan and I was literally speechless. Everything we picked up tonight is worth at least $10,000. Man I still can't believe it.
So once again God showed me He is a BIG God, and there is nothing that He can not do! The question is, when am I going to realize it!
All of this just shows me that God has Big things planned for LifePoint and He is committed to transforming this community that He has put us in!
Do me a favor today, thank God for His goodness!
