3 wishes!

Remember when you were a kid and you pretended you had 3 wishes and they would all come true?  What would you wish for?  Money?  Vacations?  3 more wishes???

Some of our supporters through the years have occasionally challenged Mark and I to put a wish list on our newsletters.  We really haven't a lot and I'm not exactly sure why!  We just didn't.  Maybe it's because we are just so appreciative of the fact that people send us money every month and it seems extravagant to ask for more!  But this last newsletter we added 3 things to a wish list that we were needing/wanting. A new laptop--the one we have is extremely overworked and there's just too many people needing to do school and work on it and there aren't enough hours in the day for everyone to get done what needs to be done!  A new camera--ours broke about a year ago and we haven't been able to replace it and haven't been able to take any photos.  And a kitchen aid stand up mixer--I do a TON of cooking and baking for our family and others and even though it isn't truly a need it is something that would make my life a lot easier!

A week after we put it out someone wrote to us that they felt God leading them to give us all 3!!!  Praise God!  We are so thankful and we are truly enjoying the blessings!  Our new camera is amazing!  It is more than we could have ever expected.  I am LOVING my new mixer--I call her Julia since Julia Child is one of my cooking heroes.  And we are getting our new computer in about a week or so. 

The lesson in all of this is that God is faithful!  He is faithful with our needs and He is faithful with our wishes.  He wants to bless us!  What are your wishes?
