Rebecca, Ben, and Dan 1993
Years and years ago (summer of 1993 to be exact), because my Phillip received a job transfer to Shreveport, Louisiana, we conducted an exhaustive search for a rental house, but came up empty-handed. Three tired kids slouched in the back seats of the minivan. Phillip was driving, and with an open Bible across my knees, I prayed out loud (maybe Phillip prayed): "Lord Jesus, please help us."
When I opened my eyes (I kid you not!), a tall billboard loomed in from of us. It read: "Need help? Come to Willow Point Baptist Church."
On that late Friday afternoon, Phillip whipped off the freeway into the practically empty church parking lot. The interim pastor "just happened" to be locking up for the day. After patiently listening to our story, he said, "A house is a small thing in the sight of the Lord. Come to church on Sunday."
At the close of the service that Sunday, Pastor Sonny Duprang announced that a family was looking for a place to rent, and if anyone had one, please meet the Glasscos at the altar. A family met us there, and that day, God led us to a lovely, rental home.
God used a billboard and a pastor to instruct His weary children. Need help, beloved? Call to the Lord and then listen and watch for His perfect and trustworthy instructions.
