More Than We Ask or Think

 Thank you for your prayers today. I cannot put into words how the Spirit used them. He had been urging me to go into school and see the students. My health struggles made that seem impossible. Spend an entire day at school--or anywhere other than The Acres, was just not an option. Yet, He encouraged me to wrap myself in your prayers, go see the kids, and discover what He could do. So, from getting up at 6:30 am until I was finished for the day at almost 2;30--had talked to all the seniors--not one physical problem. Not one!!!

The opportunity God gave me was to sit in front of each class for an entire period, answer any and all questions they might have, and share openly and honestly what God was doing in my life now and what He had taught me in my journey with Him. I could sense the Spirit moving throughout each class, touching kids hearts and mine. I do not believe I have had a more beautiful day of ministry in my entire life. Not to seem to be be too mystical or to be overreacting, but this may have been the day for which He brought me into the world to minister to His people. And think of it--He sent me back to school to teach though I was somewhat reluctant. Then He makes it impossible for me to continue to teach. Then, He tells me it's time to come Home. But instead of that being a closure to my opportunities to glorify Him and minister to others, He opens the door to encourage and challenge others in their faith wider than it could ever have been done if He had not led me down this path at this time. His ways are not our ways. His wisdom humbles and amazes us. How can we not trust Him completely with every step, every moment of our walk with Him?
It would never have happened without your prayers sustaining me physically and spiritually all day long. Pray without ceasing! Thank you again for your faithfulness to Him.
