He really is. Each year, as summertime approaches, Ryan and I get a little stressed because we know that money will be very tight. I don't work over the summertime, which is a blessing that allows me to have special time with my kids, but is also very tough on our pockets, because we don't have that extra income. In years past, Ryan has picked up a second job, just to get us through the summer. He'll work evenings and weekends. And it's certainly a sacrifice. But bless his heart, he's willing to do whatever it takes.
This year was different. We have become very involved in ministry at church. And we feel it has given us a renewed purpose in life other than simply working a job and making an income. So, when the financial stress began to mount this summer, Ryan was tempted to take on a second job again, which would mean backing out of ministry...but as we discussed it, we decided to trust God to make ends meet, and continue to volunteer our time at church.
I'm not kidding, I don't know how we've made it this far without that second income. But we have. And we've decided to give God the glory for this one. We feel He has honored our decision to stay in ministry, and to trust Him with the details. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness! You are so Good!

God is who He says His is!! Amen! He is our Provider! Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice...my family is one of many that are reaping the blessings of your ministry! I hear about "Miss Karis and Mr. Ryan" at home quite a bit. Emma is a big fan!!
Love you guys bunches!!!
We are in a similar boat and have also seen God provide in amazing ways. We've even managed to get a head while there seems to be less money coming in. We do our part to be good stewards and the rest we leave up to Heaven. And we are blessed.
Thanks for sharing!
I agree! God always leads his own to make the right decision. We are such believers in his faith in us. We are confident in our decisions because no matter what we know he's behind us.
Love ya girl!
