WE BE BLESSED

Well, Canyon finanlly got his braces off.  It's been so long I can't remember when he got them.  He's pretty excited about it.  Now we have to get his retainer.  He's not so excited about that.

I have been busily jotting down ideas and script for my story.  I'm struggling with the opening but I think it will start flowing soon.

Here is an interesting story, that is still unfolding.  A couple of months ago a woman named Lori in our bible study (small group) was offered ownership of the coffee shop where she worked.  And the asking price was only  $1.  Seriuosly, no strings.
The owner (her boss of four years) said he wanted to retire.  He dosen't need money and thinks this is a great place for her ministry.  I think she shares Jesus word as she works.
She didn't think it would come to pass because she needed around $8000 for start up capital and she isn't wealthy.  However, she is incredibly rich in her faith.  We think that is why the offer was made in the first place.  We say, "It's a God thing".  He rewards those that are faithful.
About two weeks ago a customer, who knew nothing about the offer or her need for capital, walked up to Lori and said God told her to loan Lori $8000.  Lori and this woman met on a couple more occasions and finalized the loan.  She takes over the shop on the 17th of this month.

So how are Robyn and I blessed you say?  First to be around a God thing like this is thrilling.  To see his promises come true is a blessing in itself.  But bigger than that, Lori has asked Robyn to come to work at the coffee shop.  At first Robyn declined because the pay is not much.  Lori offered again at church this morning.  Actually, she said she can't take no for an answer.  She offered better hours and a future offer to manage a second shop she wants to open.

Robyn is considering it.  She goes in to train on Thursday and then will decide if this is for her.  Don't tell Robyn, but I think she should take this job.  There is a good chance it is a God thing.

Until another time...
