The School Bell has RUNG!

Well, yes, it's that time again. Today was our first day of school. I haven't gone to bed before 1-2 a.m. in the past week. God has shown Himself SO REAL to me in the past few weeks with His PERFECT plan. I'm anxious to watch God as He uses our teachers to show HIS love and uses our program to partner with these families in raising their children to love Him with all their hearts! WOW....it was definitely a busy day! Busy and tired are such relative terms in everyone's life these days. BUT.....my sweet Jesus truly showed Himself REAL to me today. I love it when His provision shows up even in the craziest of ways. Such ways that you ONLY know it comes straight from His hand. I was running late this a.m. so I did not have time to stop at my usual morning stop of getting my Sweet Tea from Chick-Fil-A. Yes, I'm addicted. I get my large sweet tea nearly every morning and it stays on my desk all day. When I was at school helping parents finish their incomplete paperwork, my sweet friend Lara Ruthven, whose little girl, Gracie is starting at OLC this year, walked in and over to the busy table full of parents and slipped across a large sweet tea to me! GOD so KNEW! I just looked at her and smiled. Who even knows how she knew that was "my thing" but God did. I didn't even sit behind my desk until nearly noon when at that time I realized it was lunch time (probably the reason my stomach was growling). My cell phone rang and it was my precious friend, Michelle, calling to ask me what I wanted for lunch b/c she wanted to bring something to me! WOW! Another, "how did she know" BUT God did! I just sat in my office in awe of the little things we sometimes miss but yet I praise Him that he's faithful to our needs. It just brought a smile to my face. Watch for our sweet Jesus in the little things....He'll BLOW YOU AWAY!
