She made $18,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p>Still, when he reviewed the giving records he was surprised that she was contributing over $20,000 yearly to the church. This went on for two or three years and he finally couldn&#8217;t help asking her about it. He teased her a little when he broached it, asking her if she was doing anything illegal that she wanted to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>She knew he wasn&#8217;t serious and laughed and said; &#8220;Now why would you say such a thing, Pastor?&#8221; &#8220;Well&#8221;, he said, I see how much you give to the church and I can&#8217;t understand how you do it.&#8221; Her answer floored him and influenced his own giving forevermore. She said, &#8220;Oh God doesn&#8217;t have any problem getting money TO me, because he knows he can get it THROUGH me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She and her family lived a modest life style and as God prospered them that never changed. Instead of increasing her own worldly goods, she was like a funnel for God&#8217;s work. She received so much she had no problem giving more than her job paid.<\/p>\n<p>As far as giving is concerned, how big is your funnel? Don&#8217;t forget, God has no problem getting money to you.
