Sometimes, we are given the beautiful privilege of watching God make a way where there simply didn’t seem to be one. 💙
Last week, we received a phone call from a woman named Anna. A church that had been providing food for the people she serves had unexpectedly let her know they could no longer continue. Suddenly, Anna was faced with the heartbreaking reality that people were depending on her for food, and she didn’t know where it was going to come from.
So she spent the day calling organization after organization, searching for someone who could help.
Eventually, she called Loaves & Fishes.
We were outside of their service area. She knew that. But as a last ditch effort, she made one more phone call.
And God answered.
What Anna couldn’t have known was that the Lord had already provided a way for us to say yes.
By Thursday morning, Anna and Brooke were at our doors, and together we were able to provide bags of food for the people they serve.
There is something incredibly humbling about moments like this. Anna thought she was simply looking for food. We thought we were simply answering a phone call. But God knew He was bringing His people together.
Meeting Anna and Brooke was a gift to us. Hearing Anna’s heart for the people she serves and seeing how tirelessly she fought to make sure they would not go without reminded us of exactly why Loaves & Fishes exists.
We often talk about being the hands and feet of Jesus, but sometimes we are blessed enough to actually watch it happen.
It looks like one woman refusing to give up on people who need her.
It looks like one more phone call when every other door seems to have closed.
It looks like strangers becoming friends, ministries becoming partners, and God taking what each of us has and using it to provide for His children.
Anna called Loaves & Fishes as a last resort.
But we believe God already knew exactly where that call was going to land. 💙
What an incredible reminder that when we cannot see a way forward, He can.
We are so thankful for Anna and Brooke, so grateful that God allowed our paths to cross, and deeply humbled that He continues to trust Loaves & Fishes with opportunities like this.
May we always be willing to answer when He calls us to love, to serve, and to be the hands and feet of Jesus. ❤️
