revived in my mind during the first two weeks i only prayed that if it were of the lord he would bring it about but if not that he graciously would be pleased to take all thoughts about it out of my mind
My uncertainty about knowing the Lord's mind did not arise from questioning whether it would be pleasing in His sight that there should be an abode and scriptural education provided for destitute fatherless and motherless children, but whether it were His will that I should be the instrument of setting such an object on foot, as my hands were already more than filled.
My comfort, however—
was that if it were His will, He would provide not merely the means, but also suitable individuals to take care of the children, so that my part of the work would take only such a portion of my time as, considering the importance of the matter, I might give, notwithstanding my many other engagements.
The whole of those two weeks I never asked the Lord for money or for persons to engage in the work."
On December 5th, however, the subjects of my prayer all at once became different.
I was reading Psalm 81, and was particularly struck, more than at any time before, with verse 10, Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
i thought a few moments about these words and then was led to apply them to the case of the orphan house it struck me that i had never asked the lord for anything concerning it except to show his will respecting it being established or not
and i then fell on my knees and opened my mouth wide asking him for much i asked in submission to his will and without fixing a time when he should answer my petition i prayed that he would give me a house that is either as a loan or that some one might be led to pay the rent for one or that one might be given permanently for this object further i asked him for a thousand pounds
and likewise for suitable individuals to take care of the children besides this i have been since led to ask the lord to put into the hearts of his people to send me articles of furniture for the house and some clothes for the children when i was asking the petition i was fully aware what i was doing
that is, that I was asking for something which I had no natural prospect of obtaining from the brethren whom I know, but which was not too much for the Lord to grant.
december tenth eighteen thirty five this morning i received a letter in which a brother and sister wrote thus we propose ourselves for the service of the intended orphan house if you think us qualified for it also to give up all the furniture etc which the lord has given us for its use
and to do this without receiving any salary whatever, believing that if it be the will of the Lord to employ us, he will supply all our needs, etc.
December 13th.
A brother was influenced this day to give four shillings per week, or ten pounds and eight shillings yearly, as long as the Lord gives the means.
Eight shillings was given by him as two-week subscriptions.
Today a brother and sister offered themselves with all their furniture and all the provisions which they have in the house, if they can be usefully employed in the concerns of the orphan-house.
a great encouragement december seventeenth i was rather cast down last evening and this morning about the matter questioning whether i ought to be engaged in this way and was led to ask the lord to give me some further encouragement
soon after were sent by a brother two pieces of print the one seven and the other twenty three and three quarter yards six and three quarter yards of calico four pieces of lining about four yards altogether a sheet and a yard measure this evening another brother brought a clothes-horse three frocks four pinafores six handkerchiefs three counterpanes one blanket
Two pewter salt cellars, six tin cups and six metal teaspoons.
