DTFS Promise Series Part 47: To Provide

Play for the Audio Version

Well, well, I believe this is the day because the title is perfect. Now, I understand why God wanted me to wait so long to do the writing I am about to do.

Unfortunately, I can't really remember the exact year. However, I have a rough idea. I will pick the year 2011. I hope that's right!

So, at that time the Lord was really tugging at my heart. I remember really wanting to vehemently do research on AMTC. I can't remember how I even heard about it but the important thing is someone told me about it!

AMTC stands for actors, models, and talent for Christ. It was previously known as Actors Models and Talent competition. So, I did my thing and was checking up on their website.

I didn't really think anything of it until I found out they were coming to the city that I live in! So, I auditioned. I didn't think it would be of any harm. And, they called me back. I remember the following Sunday I motioned for my pastor to come to me, and I said they called me back!

So, I followed the necessary protocols. And the ending result was I was invited to go to the Shine event which would then be in a few months.

Florida? Did we have money for the airplane ride? Nope, we did not. So, my answer when it came to going there was no!  Just kidding. I actually did go! I was still able to walk back then just using my pretty pink cane.
Its name was Bob.

I remember when it was time to share my talent this happened. I believe the name of the teacher like man was Dave. He was so inspired he said and impressed.  He said that I had a talent that could not be taught. I know it's coming from God!

Let me end my writing with this.  God provided the information about AMTC when I was looking cuz he wanted me in the end to attend AMTC. God provided time off work for my husband so he can take me to Florida.

My last Deep Thought is this.  Joe and I didn't really have the means to attend the event. We didn't really have money for the plane ticket. I know. Bummer right?  Yeah, I figured it was a no-go. Until this happened. To this day, it still amazes me!

I was laying on my stomach on my bed just browsing the internet. Then I was so surprised when Joe came home.  Remember I said I was laying in my stomach browsing the web on my laptop.

Anyway, when Joe came home oh, he did this. He opened my bedroom door and just put a piece of paper in front of me. I did not really look at what it was. So, I later found out it was a check. It turned out our insurance made a mistake and over billed us. So, they were sending us back the money they owed us.

Yes, I was able to go to Florida. See what I mean? God had a plan! God provides! Check it out. God had a plan. He began executing the plan by putting in my heart to do some heavy research on AMTC. He provided the means to even making the audition. The end result or the final outcome was this.

We went to Florida. I was able to share my talent and see other people's talents. I met really nice, encouraging, inspiring people.  I am blessed because I am still even sometimes communicating with the founder of AMTC. Hi Carey! I'm so proud to have her as one of my devoted readers to my blog! It truly is a blessing!

The bottom line is our precious Heavenly Father has a plan for our lives. And, he knows exactly what we need even if we don't think we even have the means. We need to pray to God because as my caregiver Glady says, God is good all the time and all the time God is good!

Remember he might surprise us in the best way possible! Maybe he will do to you like he did to me! Have you checked your mail today? Who knows, maybe you will find a check because you overpayed your insurance company and they were sending back money that they owe you?  Hey, it could happen. It happened to me. God will provide!

Philippians 4:19 

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:31-32 

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

Matthew 7:11

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Luke 12:24
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds

Mark 11:24

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Matthew 7:7
