God's hand at work
I was looking back in my blog with wonder at the serenity that I must have been experiencing for me to tell you of the books that I was reading in such a playful tone. For a moment I relieved the reading of those books. I was relaxed, at peace, on my month and a half sabbatical when I purchased and read them.
And now I'm in trauma.
I wonder... no I know that God gives us periods of preparation.
I started a new blog site for Christian Singles from all the churches in the area that I live. (Previously I had been sending out a bimonthly newsletter.) It's more of a way to keep in touch with what's going on, a kind of calendar with comments.
I felt God's hand guiding me from the start but the speed at which the newsletter became website was amazing. It took my breath away because God's hand was so clearly at work. I was swept up in the flow of everything falling into place as God's great hands moved across all our lives.

Of course wherever God is building up Satan is there tearing down. The devilish creature chose to act through my students. To say my classroom has been disruptive would be an understatement. Remember, if you will, that I teach middle school EBD self contained and imagine the ciaos they can cause then multiply it by a factor of ...10 should do.
When my Christian sisters at work (I'm so blessed at work) came in with loving arms to help support me the devilish creature turned his gaze upon my family. And that is where I am now, awake at 2:27 am and wondering how I will take care of it all. Even in the midst of this trial and heartache I see God's hand at work. I know his will is being carried out. I think I am about to be caught up again in the flow of everything falling into place as God's hand sweeps across all our lives.
Isn't God good? Amen!
