Eggs and Ham? You Bet!

Go west young man, go west they said.  In 1970 we belonged to the Nazarene Church that my husband grew up in, but first I have to tell you how we got the "call" to go to Colorado Springs to attend their Bible College. There are times when a husband is to listen to his wife (Genesis 21: 12-13) and this was a time when he did, reluctantly. Coming from a Baptist Church I desired God. 😊 So, I'm the one who told him to "go west". It was my desire, not his. The day we left for Colorado in our old '57 Ford we had exactly $70.00 in our pockets.  It was a long way to go from where we lived, about seven hundred miles. "Go on faith they (Our Church) said" and so we did.  About one hundred miles out our radiator began to act up and we had to stop every five miles to put water in it. What does all of this have to do with eggs and ham? You will see 😊 We had also taken the wrong exit so we were now going through the back roads of Kansas.  It took us two days and nights to get to our destination.  We saw the Lord do miracle after miracle in providing for us as we traveled.  Our souls being downcast with the College, we decided to go home in a few short months. Even though my husband was working, we came to a point to where we had no food in the cupboard. We had met a young Christian man who was stationed at Fort Carson and he kept us in eggs and ham the whole four months of our stay. What a miracle to have food all the time!

So, dear husband, the next time your wife tells you to do something so "out there" listen to her and you will see miracles by "going on faith".
