Cardboard boxes lined the walls, overflowing with children\u2019s gifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPull up a chair. I need your help.\u201d Mavis looked particularly stressed that day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can I help you?\u201d Lauren asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been asked to arrange another Christmas party for 500 children in a rural area 450 kilometres away. We have sufficient gifts for them, as you can see, but we need to supply them with everything else that we usually do at our parties. This will be the last party that we organize for 2010. Because it falls in our holiday season, transport will be a problem. You need to run with this for me, Lauren&#8230;. We need a miracle to make this happen. We only have a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mavis sighed.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren knew that 2010 had been a difficult year for Mavis, as she trusted for supplies for all the children\u2019s homes and underprivileged children that she supported annually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have prayed and fasted about these parties, Mavis. God won\u2019t let us down.\u201d Lauren got up and put her arm around her manager.<\/p>\n<p>Back at her desk, Lauren knew exactly who to call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHi Lauren&#8230;.gosh, this is a lovely surprise. What\u2019s new on your side?\u201d Mia\u2019s happy voice put Lauren at ease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very well thanks, Mia. Remember how you always said that I can count on you if I\u2019m in a pickle? Today is one of those days. You know that where I work we arrange Christmas parties for underprivileged children. We desperately need help this year with hot dogs, cupcakes, crisps, and sweets for 500 children in Venda, kilometers away from here. Oh and&#8230;um&#8230;we need to transport all the food and gifts to the children next weekend. I know it\u2019s a tall ask, <em>but I need a miracle!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Lauren prayed silently as she waited for Mia\u2019s response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut <em>of course,<\/em> we\u2019ll help you. I will contact my Bible study group immediately and we\u2019ll get going.\u00a0Should we make up packs with all the goodies inside? This should make it easier to transport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would be perfect, Mia. God bless you abundantly for your love and kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not so sure about the transport, but I\u2019ll see what I can do. We\u2019ll chat again soon.\u201d Mia ended the call.<\/p>\n<p>The following Sunday, Lauren and Mavis waited on the sidewalk with the boxes of wrapped gifts. Mavis wrung her hands as she glanced up the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRelax, Mavis. My friends won\u2019t let us down and neither will God.\u201d She gently held Mavis\u2019s hands to calm her.<\/p>\n<p>The sound of car horns caught the women\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis must be them now.\u201d Lauren clapped her hands and craned her neck to see the approaching vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>A large closed truck stopped at the curb, followed by a 20-seater bus transporting ten volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re here&#8230;packets and all,\u201d Mia announced joyfully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh Mia, how can I ever thank you enough?\u201d Lauren said, hugging her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese two vehicles are the <em>real miracles<\/em>, Lauren. God came through for us this morning after numerous failed negotiations. A rental company gave us these vehicles with full tanks of fuel and no rental charges at all. Isn\u2019t God awesome? The manager at the branch is also a Christian, and he made this happen for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPraise God for people like you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLauren, we also plan on helping you with your parties every year from now on. We want to show God\u2019s love and provision together, with you, to those who really need it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod surely <em>does<\/em> supply all our needs as He promises in Philippians 4:19,\u201d Lauren smiled.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11467\" src=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-scaled-300x424.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-600x848.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-768x1085.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-1087x1536.jpg 1087w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-1450x2048.jpg 1450w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Laura-Kirsten-scaled.jpg 1812w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Laura Kirsten<\/strong> of South Africa has completed 2 ghostwriting projects and 50 short stories.
