"PAID" Saturday, February 27, 2010

Why a red ink stamp reading PAID? To find out more, read the testimony below.

Dear Young Foundations, God bless you all our dear precious saints working in service of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Here's a story behind the red ink stamp marked 'PAID' on the top left hand corner of the page.

This is what the original prints looked like that we printed at home of the Young Foundations Germany trip. Luke, my brother was working on his summer self employment writing out forms and doing some paperwork on the computer, being around dad's desk, well that's a little different. So one day in June, dad found many sheets lying around and stacked them all together and placed them back into the printer. He doesn't like to waste, and being somewhat wound up, he thought at that moment, "They're going to get what they print, whatever's on those sheets."

Well, in the meantime I, Luke's older sister, had been having some troubling issues with my job, which eventually led to the company I was working for 'closing down.' This now devastated my hopes for saving funds for the Germany trip. I had missed the Italy trip, and this was one I was also looking forward to very much. Doubt came crashing down on me. Prior to loosing the job, I was already worried about the affordability of the trip. Dad always kept telling me, "Angelica it's paid for, don't worry about it!" Then the following days I printed the pages off the Young Foundations internet site and two pages came out. I then went to mom and said, "Something weird, really, strange just happened. You wouldn't believe it! I had been praying and asking the Lord, if it was His perfect will for me to go to Germany. On this first page it had printed out in red 'PAID' on the top left hand corner." This was a surprise for me, and the printer prints only in black and white.

Prior to printing, someone must have stamped 'PAID' on one of the sheets of paper. This is a wonderful story since it reminds me of the wonderful and great price that was paid on Calvary by our Lord Jesus Christ. 'Jesus paid it all and all to Him I owe.....'

This testimony couldn't be complete without noting that from the time Brother Joseph had said 'pack your suitcases,' there was no doubt in my mind afterwards.

The good Lord supplied a way, and this sister did get the opportunity to go to the YF Germany Camp, and receive of the many blessings that came with it.
