SO I went to bed this last Sunday night, heart broken and worried about the coming week. I was afraid it was going to be difficult and honestly depressing because I knew that Monday would be the last day for a week that I would be able to talk to my best friend. Max is now attending classes at a school 7 hours away from home, and was unable to take his smart phone, and due to his schedule we were only going to be able to talk on Saturday and Sundays. I knew it was going to be hard going from talking to him everyday for 3 months to not talking to him for 5 days... I was sad, and feared the feelings that would come with the new changes. BUT Monday morning, instead of rolling over to call him, I simply stopped and prayed that God would give me the peace I needed to adjust to the plan God had placed before us. I got up and went along with my day, having an okay day at work and going to bed exhausted wishing it was Saturday already! Tuesday morning I woke up with my last text from Max, saying he was leaving for the school and would talk to me on Saturday. All though I did feel sadness, I still felt this peace, knowing that it would be okay. Tuesday came and went and although I missed him, that peace was still there. I went to work Wednesday morning counting down the days, but also feeling this joy that lite up my face. All of a sudden, God decided to give me a reason(or 5) to smile! I opened my email and read an email from one of my board members John. He began to tell me how he had 10-12 people, interested in taking a mission trip to Kingamboni Tanzania and minister to Kingstar school. Reading that was a dream come true for me, and something I had been prying about ever since I had returned home from Africa. That night we meet and discussed some plans that we wanted to do while on the trip. I left that meeting grinning ear to ear thanking God for answering this prayer and showing me a door leading to my dream! But God was not done yet! Thursday I received a very sweet email from Christine and that made me miss her and started off my morning on a great note! But later that day I hit a bump in the road. The band I had scheduled for the next nights event at work, I spent all night trying to find a replacement, but went to bed praying asking God to provide! Its Friday morning and of course my God provided and I was given a replacement, following that I had a great time at the Cedar Creek Chamber New Teacher Lunchin and was able to have lunch with a Christian Couple who are now teaching in Mabank. While talking with them I learned that they were once youth pastors, and after I began to share with them about my mission and work in Africa, that is when God did something cool! They then expressed to me, that just the week before they had talked about how cool it would be to take a mission trip over seas to teach in a school. I just love how God randomly does stuff to show his power and control! :) After lunch I then headed back to lunch to prepare for the Back To School Bash, I put together at work for some local youth groups in the area! God Showed up, big time and a total of 2 students were saved! Amen! Praise the Lord!! :) Saturday morning finally came and I was able to talk to my best friend and tell him all about my amazing week!! What I thought was going to be a horrible, very difficult week turned out to be an amazing week, BECAUSE OF MY GOD!!
My God showed up, and really showed off in my life!! I just said goodbye to my best friend for this week, and am now so excited to see what God is going to do this week!!!
