WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS, WATER AND BEANS

I HAVE BEEN MARKING MY CALENDAR EVERY DAY WHEN IT RAINS AND WE HAVE 12 DAYS IN A ROW WITH SOME KIND OF RAIN. NOW WE REALLY NEED THE RAIN, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO GET INTO THE COLONIA AND GET THINGS DONE. ALAN AND LYNNEA ARE GETTING BORED. WE HAVE TRIED TO GET THINGS DONE AROUND HERE IN BETWEEN STORMS. LIKE YESTERDAY, I CALLED BEN BUTLER AT THE WAY OF THE CROSS MINISTRY IN HARLINGEN AND ASKED IF HE COULD USE SOME BEANS? WELL WHO CAN'T USE BEANS THAT HAS ANY KIND OF MINISTRY THAT MINISTERS TO MEXICANS. I TOLD HIM I HAD A LOT TO GIVE, SO HE SENT TWO VANS AND TWO TRAILERS. "HE WHO SOWS SPARINGLY, REAPS SPARINGLY, BUT HE WHO SOWS BOUNTIFULLY WILL REAP BOUNTIFULLY" SO I SOWED 16,000 LBS OF BEANS INTO BENS MINISTRY TO FEED THE POOR IN HARLINGEN AND MEXICO. OUR WAREHOUSE IS FULL SO GIVING THE OVERFLOW AWAY JUST MADE SENSE. WE HAVE TWO MORE LOADS, 88 THOUSAND POUNDS OF BEANS COMING NEXT WEEK, SO I'M ALREADY REAPING A HARVEST. HOW ABOUT YOU? HOW IS YOUR SOWING? WHAT ARE YOU PRAYING FOR OR ASKING GOD TO DO FOR YOU? WHAT INSTRUCTION HAS GOD GIVEN YOU TO FOLLOW AND IT JUST SEEMS TO BIZARRE OR OUT THERE TO OBEY? JUST DO WHAT GOD HAS ASKED AND WATCH GOD RESPOND TO YOUR FAITH! HE WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOUR NEED, OR YOUR TEARS, BUT HE WILL RESPOND TO YOUR FAITH! WE HAVE A HEART TO SUPPLY ENOUGH FOOD FOR 9 MILLION MEALS IN THE NEXT YEAR., THAT'S ABOUT 15 TRUCK LOADS OF BEANS AND RICE, AND GOD IS ALREADY LINING UP THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.   MIMI IS TEACHING LYNNEA SPANISH WHILE WERE OVER IN MEXICO, LYNNEA SAYS MIMI IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER AT THE AGE OF SEVEN.
