What is April's Big Give?

Cornerstone is always looking for a way to elevate Jesus Christ in the community by giving back. The idea of giving the offering back to the congregation did not originate with us, nor did the name. (thanks Oprah) However, we think that this will be an exciting way for us to show our community that God loves them and to encourage each of us to be more aware of those in need around us. I encourage you to browse the stories here and even subscribe for the latest stories to be sent to your reader or email in-box as they are added.

Unemployed Husband

Sunday, April 20, 2008 Labels: 0 comments

My husband has been unemployed since last summer. We moved to FL to be near my daughter and there are more job openings here than up north. Unemployment ran out at the end of February/Mid March. I have been working two jobs and he has been going for countless interviews. I fear what has made my trust in the Lord stronger has made his weaker. The Lord laid a burden on my heart to give toe money to my husband. It was a real struggle for me because I thought I was being selfish. By Thursday morning, the look of sadness and hopelessness on my husband's face. I knew then I had to give it to him. The Lord kept reminding me of Philippians 4:9, so I wrote it on the envelope and gave it to him. Again the Lord blessed later that evening when we discovered we'd be getting a tax refund instead of paying. The Lord is Good! I just pray that he will start relying on what the Lord can do instead of what he can do himself. Please pray for him.

P.S. Last week was my first time here.
