The Wilkes Team

Early Saturday morning Mom turns to us all and says, “What do you think if we put on a Farmer’s Market today?”.

We talked about it and Mom shared with us how the Lord made if very clear to her the night before that we should do a Farmers Market. Mom’s enthusiasm was very contagious! The success of it was uncertain but we decided to step out and try.

Vegetables, fruit, honey, potatoes, and craft items were prepared for display. Cinnamon rolls were baked and other goodies too!

Matthew, Daniel, and I hopped in the truck and went around and put up signs. Others busily pulled the final things together. There was so much excitement and anticipation for what might happen.

After much team work, diligence, and great encouragement from Mom we were ready to serve the public.

That morning reminded me of the need for us to be willing to step out and do whatever it is that the Lord has called us to do that day. Not knowing what the outcome may be should not stop us from following the leading of the Lord.

He calls us to simply trust Him, obey Him and leave the results in His hands. What joy and peace can come from us doing simply what He has given us the grace to do. 

          May you be encouraged to simply trust and obey the Lord and your authorities today!

Proverbs 3:5~6

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
