Prayers answered FAST!

May 8, 2008

Well, I posted last night basically that we’re broke and OWED UNCLE SAM 4500 bucks. Well today, my CPA had refigured things and now we’re going to REFUNDED 255 bucks - isn’t that AMAZING!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! I knew in my prayers last night that God had this all figured out but i wasn’t sure what he wanted me to do other than broadcast my business (which made me so uncomfy) and ask for prayers (not money).  Well GOD ROCKS!!!

If you do not know the God I am talking about its the God if Jesus the Messiah. I encourage you to learn more and my prayer is that you accept HIM as Savior as I have, it makes the tough parts of this world more bearable since He paid the price for us in FULL!

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PRAYED!!! Less than 22 hours, God showed up in a BIG WAY!

Hubby and I still need to raise $1000 a month in support to live on and get ahead of taxes and not behind! WOOWOO!


We need support

[Jackie's NOTE: This post still stands - although the tax issue prayer has been answered, see the post: http://jackiesue.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/prayers-answered-fastprayers-answered-fast/ ]

This is a confession I really don’t like to confess, but we NEED more Monthly Support!

We have really been frugal and buckling down. We’ve lowered our electrical bill by modifying some behavior. We drive alot less. We eat less to make the food go further. We stopped other ‘treats’ like a movie rental (here is it Q15 = $2 a 2 night rental) and so on.

We just got an email from our CPA about our taxes and what we owe. We just realized that 15% needs to go towards self-income tax (since our donors get the tax deduction, some one need to pay the taxes). We were just not in-the-know on how much. So we have 10% to tithe and 15% to taxes, which leaves us the rest to pay bills, emergency savings, any medical that comes up, and more. Well at this time, the bills/expenses eat what is left. The rest - there is no pool for.

So if you or anyone you know needs a tax deduction, please feel free to give ONE TIME or MONTHLY to us living in Guatemala and doing what God has led us to do. We very much feel in HIS WILL. We’re just getting started so I can’t see God taking us out of-the-field right now. Plus it doesn’t seem like he’s saying that. More like - keep buckling down and humble yourself and tell others your needs! We feel God has other lined up to help but we’re not making our needs be known.

Love you for your prayers and potential support. This is very very different for us.
