From Cindy...

"He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap."

- Ecclesiastes 11:4

"The Lord gave me this scripture this morning from Ecclesiastes. I was really grateful and challenged. Seems everything in business is a challenge these days. I got to thinking about all the stores who buy our sculptures, in faith that they will sell. I takes such faith to do that. I want to say 'thank you' to you all this morning, for not focusing on the wind and the clouds, but going ahead, trusting the Lord, who is our provider. I want you to know that I'm praying for your success, both in your business and in the kingdom.

I forgot our tithe last Sunday. It had been a good week and I was excited to to be able to give more. But when I looked at our bank balance this morning, it had shrunk significantly and I felt that temptation to be a storm watcher, hunker down and 'hold what ya got.' That's when the Lord gave me the scripture from Ecclesiates. Now I'm almost excited to write that check and put it in the offering box. I think I'll drive down to the church today instead of waiting for Sunday.

I hope you are encouraged today to be bold for the Lord, to trust Him because He is so worthy of your trust. We would be CRAZY not to trust Him....really. Blessings y'all...Cindy."
