I am awed in what God is doing in my life. God does provide in the wilderness. I know that for a fact. I still live on the south side of Syracuse, NYS. Kathie and I are still making payments to the bank for the house. The car has over 130,00 miles but it still runs. We are eating. God is providing the basic needs. Kathie is still making 2/3 of what I use to make 5 years ago. God provide away for me to work and minister unto Him. The true owner of Eagle Feather's 18th Century Clothing Shoppe is God the Father. He is the master and I am His apprentice. He gives me the faith to make the clothing. He brings in the business. What He brings in, He uses to challenge my faith. Since June till last month, God used the book of Hebrews along with "Holiest of All" by Andrew Murry to refine my faith. Once I surrender my will to Him. Meaning giving up and letting God be God in my life. The windows of heaven open up. Yes, there are days that I am very sick. But that does not stop me in trust Him to move forward in faith. Going to church on a Sunday morning dealing with perfume is trusting God to see me through. He wants me there to worship with His people. To also receive what He has for me. To be by the side of my wife and supporting her. We are in the boat. We must remember that Christ is there with us. Life is full of storms which will rock our boat. Many of a times Christ will call us to get out of our comfort zone to walk through them. Believing in God is exercising our faith. This past week, I received payment to start a job for a historical society. They decide to rent 90% of the clothing for a one time event. They hired me to make a few great coats for the museum. What a blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I give God all the praise and glory. Two days ago, I received a letter from another historical museum. The director was looking for someone to make clothing for kids. The have a traveling show which they have the kids wear the historical reproduction. If I get this job. It will be a faith builder. I never made children's regimental coats. At the beginning of this year, I did some praying about changing the title of my web page and the body. Once I came with the wording I sent it to my web master. I step out in faith when I said custom tailor. I can not back down in faith but move forward. May, I made another statement of faith. I registered my business through the state of NY. I made a state to God that I am will to accept business in NYS. For the longest time I was saying that there is none. I was actual saying to God that He could not provide customers in NYS. I also realized that once I register that I am league. I am awed in the way God takes care of us. He knows what is down the road before we do. I have been out of Carrier since Jan. 95. Since then there has been many lay offs due to selling of 2 divisions. Also the building that I was working in. More and more people are getting sick. There is fear that the rest of the company will move. God provide away for me to work. I am thankful for what He is doing in my life. I am over 51 and for the longest time I was say who is going to hire a person that is disabled and over 50. WELL, GOD DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He hired me. Kathie works at the Rescue Mission in pay roll and goes to college. I maintane the house and tailor clothes. Simple as that.
