Man...there is a lot to say. First off: I just scrolled down to the most recent posts, and I'm surprised at how in the not so far away past God has been doing some pretty amazing things. First off. A few posts ago I wrote about God's "To Be" or not to be.... and it makes me smile. Why you ask? Because since then Leo was called in to do an interview with the school board to be the administrator of the school. The end result?... They would like to proceed. Next year he will shadow again the current admin. and the following take on the role. It's amazing what God has done. Not only that.... The school had another donor who would match up to $30,000. The school had about a month and a half. Daunting right? Well sure... it was crazy busy, but as of last I heard (Drum roll please) they earned $42,100 and with the match making it $72,000. They got a few high rollers on that one, but again it was a TON of fund raising activities from donation cans and recycling change to bowling nights, garage sales, and even a big concert by a new band. God is SOOOO good. How else has he been working? Well.... there is so much to mention, between his provision of new members of the Womens ministry team and my moving to the resident graphic designer to today's answer of prayer.
Do you ever pray something to God almost in jest and receive answers later? About a year ago I took a Masters class called Crisis Management. It was one of those classes that I thought "What am I doing here Lord?" I didn't hear an answer then... but yesterday I did ... the answer was "This." This what? Oh...The district chose me to have the privaledge of subbing for an art teacher that passed away at one of the schools in the district. (And I'm not being sarcastic.) I won't mention her name as it's still pretty early on.. and none of you would probably know her anyway. It's neat how God prepares us for the unexpected.
Or the answer in prayers with my friend Della... who's sons are now wanting to come to church with us and may accept the Lord.
Or the student that Leo was able to share the gospel with and how it's currently burning in his heart as he returns back to China... enough that he would write Leo with many questions about Him.
Or the blessing in the kids that we have come over every week to love them and disciple... and hopefully show them "family".
Or just like the ever full jars of oil... how God continues to provide time when I think it is all used up.... and energy when I don't think I can give any more.
Can I say again how Good He is? He is SO good... all the time, and all the time... He is SO good!
