Mrs Carol Hopson-Trusting God in Troubled Times
When my husband and I started a Christian school, we
had little or no money. We had bills to pay and teachers'
salaries due, and we had no money for any of it. We had followed
God's clear leading to start the school, and we had
faith that He would see us through, but we didn't have
enough students in those early months to pay the bills.
Now, we were faced with payday and didn't have near
enough money to pay our staff and teachers…let alone ourselves.
For a few minutes those "if onlys" invaded my mind.
If only we hadn't left secure jobs in a great Christian school,
if only we had a big donor who would have provided the
funds for this year, if only we had more students, and so on.
I also wondered why God hadn't provided the needed
finances since we had stepped out in faith and obedience to
Him to start this school. Why would He put us through
such hard times where it looked like He wasn't providing…
where we'd have to tell the teachers that there was no
money to pay them?
