MMUK Appeal
The appeal Mercy had last week week regarding Housing Benefit was denied. I believe that the courts claim is the because the programme is free the girls cannot get Housing Benefit, even though their housing is not free and there is a cost involved for it.
But, I believe that God has a plan for Mercy and even though this money would have been useful for the day to day running of the house, I have every confidence that God is going to provide in an unexpected way. I know money is not my responsibility at Mercy, but as staff we all cared about this outcome. But, I have this real sense of peace about the situation and I shared that with Kerry & Arianna (the executive director and director of programming) this week. They were both joyful to hear someone say that I felt God’s hand in this situation even though none of us can see what will happen next. I am waiting in anticipation to see how God reveals his plan!
I never understand God’s hand in things. He doesn’t make sense to me. And yet I wouldn’t have Him any other way. I’m glad everyone is feeling the peace that God has this under control for you!
