Timing

Hopefully, you know a little bit about our trip to North Carolina last weekend. It was great.
It just so happens that tomorrow night at our Bible study, we're studying 1 Corinthians 9. We already asked another guy in our group, Josh, to lead that night. And now, with the possibility that we'll need to raise support in the near future to go to Austria, it seems like much more than coincidence. If you don't know what I mean, take a look at 1 Cor. 9. Some things stand out to me like "Don't muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," sowing spiritual seed and reaping a material harvest, those who preach the gospel should earn their living by the gospel, and running the race of faith to get a lasting crown. There is so much in that chapter.
The timing of all this seems like God's work. Anne and I aren't promoting ourselves, but God seems to be bringing up the topic of support for those doing ministry.
