God is so good!

God is so wonderful! He can do anything!! My faith in Him grows daily as I learn to trust Him with all my needs. It is only Monday and two amazing events have already happened. First of all, I have a summer teaching job that will not interfere with this trip! I will be teaching a 4K class in the same school I am currently subbing. This teaching assignment ends about 1 week before I leave for Africa. What other summer employment could I have that would work so well with my schedule!!



The next wonderful thing that happened was that the principal has given me about three boxes of school supplies for Africa. I have yet to determine if the supplies are needed for the missions I will be working with, but I'm sure God will find a way for me to use the materials in a way that will glorify him! I can't help but think about the guest speaker on Sunday who has served with several missions teams over the years. He told a story of a trip where he brought yarn along when the purpose of the trip was to build a church or school. He didn't know why he brought the yarn, but figured why not. During his trip a woman came forward and explained she knew how to knit, but didn't have any yarn... guess what he gave her? If he hadn't packed it he wouldn't have been able to fill that need. I'm not saying I am expecting this same thing to happen... but what if?



I continue to pray for the wisdom to see God's work and plan for me. I want to follow His plan and not create my own. That is not an easy task!! I like to know all the details and be able to plan accordingly, but I am learning to just go with it at the moment. And, I'm learning that God works in His time, not mine. I want the comfort of knowing I will have a full time teaching job next year, but I am learning to find comfort in what God is providing for me now. I have a lot to find comfort in!
