This was in response to how they felt God was leading them, and was taken to Him in prayer. I like the result, because it shows how *fun* and interesting a life it is to live by faith: "Yet we have always been able to pay our bills, we have never gone hungry, and we have even had enough money for little treats here and there, or car repairs, or vacations... I know that stepping out in faith like this is so much fun! It is thrilling to know we have jumped off the cliff into the hands of the Almighty, and He is enough." God is glorified by our faith-- sometimes I think it's the thing that absolutely glorifies and honors Him the most (AND gives Him pleasure-- Heb. 11:6)-- and so this life of faith is not only rich and interesting, but it brings glory to the sovereign God. Definitely a good thing!! I had a close friend write to me, about a decision they made with their spouse to double their giving.
