I need to break the silence! I have not posted in such a long time, that I feel like the next post should be momentous... but the longer I wait, the less momentous each possibility seems. So I am just going to WRITE and share the little bit of my journal entry, dated May 28, 2013:
God doesn't usually work in conventional ways. That struck me today, and I had a good laugh at myself over it.
This morning I volunteered again at BFM from 9 am until 1 pm. It takes me 15-20 minutes to walk there, and I like to spend that time in prayer. Today I walked along, enjoying the fresh morning air asking God to provide me with work for this summer. Then all of a sudden I couldn't help but smile at the irony--I am walking off to a morning of work, praying for God to provide work!
So I thanked God for providing me with work, and switched to asking God for money to pay for my tuition and housing for next year. I still didn't get too far, though, as I remembered the cheque that I deposited yesterday--a gift from some dear friends to help pay my school expenses.
So I thanked God for His financial provision, and set myself to do whatever God brings me this summer with all my heart. As usual, God's ways are never quite what I expect--but in my experience I find that His ways are usually more interesting, and always better!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." For is He not Jehovah Jireh, my Provider? Truly, His grace is sufficient for me!
