"I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth." Psalm 57:9-11We're going to Sioux Falls today to meet Angel. I don't get to hold her yet because only the parents and siblings can feed and hold her the first couple of weeks. This is so she bonds good and tight with them. I understand. I know I'll get the hold her soon enough.....
I was thinking about God's faithfulness.... that's the reason for the title of this post. God is so awesome in His sovereignty. I recently left a job that I wa
s convinced I was going to be at until I retired. 7 years ago I felt God 'call' me to leave my career as a USDA Farm Loan Officer/paralegal and become a houseparent for a houseful of Native American teenage girls. Al and I had been doing that since 2001 - we would have anywhere from 8 to 10 girls in our home.... we were their 'parents' did everything that parents do. I got to share Jesus' love with them. But then last summer I started losing my sense of the Lord's peace, and I could tell things would be changing. It's a very long story, and I don't have room to tell it all here, but the Lord used Al, opened up a job opportunity for me through him (I didn't even have to fill out an application!), and I am now working as an Optomotrist Assistant. Sounds wierd, doesn't it? Doesn't sound like a ministry opportunity. But I meet and greet dozens of people every day, and sometimes just a smile, a caring touch, an understanding ear is such a ministry opportunity in today's world! But the best part of it, is I have more time off now, to be able to be with my new grandaughter!
