I am overwhelmed with the blessing and provision of God in the house that He has given me. I look forward to filling this house with good conversation, good food and good company. A few days after I signed my lease, God provided a wonderful new car for me with low miles and only four years old! The freedom of having my own vehicle will be paramount to my effectiveness in ministry as will my warm and safe house.<\/p>\n<p>God has been providing for my \u201cevery day human concerns\u201d in many different ways from highly responsive immigration officers to the generosity of my new church family at Greystones Nazarene Community Church. A few Sundays ago, I walked into the church hall on Sunday to find a table overflowing with household items like toilet paper, toaster, salt and pepper shakers and tea towels that had been collected for me and my ne house. Again, I was overwhelmed by the warm kindness and generosity of God through his people to me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Morton-Dec-2021-Ireland-Molly-Scenary.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21249 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Morton-Dec-2021-Ireland-Molly-Scenary-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Morton-Dec-2021-Ireland-Molly-Scenary-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Morton-Dec-2021-Ireland-Molly-Scenary-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Morton-Dec-2021-Ireland-Molly-Scenary.jpg 547w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Thank you for coming along with me on this journey.
