Every good and every perfect gift comes from the very hand of God...

Aaron paid for two business trips out of his pocket. He received the reimbursement on the same day that we were notified that we would have to move.
All for God's glory!
The girls and I searched 6.5 hours, 100 miles and looked at 15 houses in a day. We found two good houses. We put money on the first one. I felt just the slightest bit uneasy about that house and continued to pray for God's perfect plan. The owner of the home decided not to rent her home. The second house was still available. We put money on the second house. We signed on the second house and took the first load of things over less than 12 hours later.
All for God's glory!
Friends offered to help and bring their large box-type truck to move the big furniture this coming Saturday.
Two of the mommas from my sewing class offered to help move us instead of sew for the next class.
All for God's glory!
The body of Christ, "my" church, has offered to serve us. Yesterday, two families arrived ready to work. The sewing room, the kitchen, most of all the closets, both bathrooms, most of the back yard items and many other miscellaneous items were not only packed and transported but completely unloaded and put into their proper places in our new home. They brought food for us to eat. They brought trash bags, boxes, paper plates, water and other "moving necessities" just for us.
Dear friends have offered to drive over and take the girls for a day of fun while the big furniture is moved on Saturday.
All for God's glory!
Last night, another family from church offered to come on Friday to help.
Last night, I received email from another momma in the sewing class, she wants to serve us instead of sew.
All for God's glory!
Today, another family from "my" church will be here to serve us. They will provide lunch and dinner for our family tonight.
All for God's glory!
Wednesday, friends will arrive in the afternoon to serve us.
All for God's glory!
All is defined as: the whole amount; the entire quantity; the extent of; as much as possible; every; whatever; nothing but; completely taken up with; given to; entirely consumed...
EVERY SITUATION, EVERY DAY, EVERY CONVERSATION, EVERY ACTION, EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY BREATH ... ALL FOR GOD's GLORY!
ALL FOR HIS PURPOSE!

Every move before, I've had the blessing of time to put away projects and 'ready' our home for the move. This time, there is little time.
This time, in my weakness, He has been strong. In my weakness, the hands and feet of Christ are serving me.
He is strong when I am weak.
...He provides...
...when I realize my insufficiency...
Every good and perfect gift comes from above.

James 1
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
