Manna

God provided for the Israelites by sending down manna for their hunger. They had to depend on God to satisfy each of their needs.

Exodus 16:15
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.

I have never had God provide food for me, or been in a place where He needed to. However, I certainly to do not doubt that God does provide for me. He has given me a job, educational choices, and spiritual gifts.

God provided for me to go to Northern Ireland last year through several generous people. I was amazed of the outpouring of support from friends and family. Going to be an intern in Monterrey this summer was just in my budget from my part-time job. It seemed like a perfect fit. It would not even be a stretch for me. I learned though I was losing sight on relying on God for my needs. When I interviewed with Back2Back it became evident that they require a short-term mission trip before an internship to better prepare interns. I did not know how I was ever going to raise the support for both trips between my job and fundraising. I thought I was God ways of saying Mexico is not where you are suppose to be this summer. I was upset, but just kept asking God to make a way.

God surprised me when I completely ruled out Mexico as an option. TWICE! First time around my dad was talking to his previous boss from Calvary Chemical just to catch up. He mentioned Back2Back and my dad told him my situation. I was invited to go on a trip to Monterrey with a Medical Team(of all the different groups really?) in February. I was so excited because God worked through my dad, and him to make a way for me. I had to commit to the trip in February before I knew I would get my internship. That was the scariest move of all. Because I felt like I could be doing the wrong thing.

I was accepted into the internship program with both of these trips. The finical aspect was pretty scary. Last Thursday, I was sitting in my bed thinking of supporters and calculating out numbers. I did not know how I was going to do it. But prayed for God to make a way for me.

Friday afternoon, I called someone at Back2Back to discuss details of when money was due for each trip. I knew my internship money was due in March, so the short-term trip money was due right around the corner. I asked her a few questions, and she looked some things up. She informed me my whole February trip was paid for including plane tickets and a single donor. I started crying on the phone, she could not believe I was just finding out.

God does provide. Just as he did for the Israelites. If you seek him, He will provide for you.
