More than Words

Well, what'ta'ya know...things finally did change. It did not happen on my timeline. It was divine intervention. All the many years led up to a miraculous Friday at school. I understood why I had gone through so many challenges...it was all preparing me for God's work I need to be ready to do. Sometimes you have to look carefully to listen. You've probably heard of "not seeing the forest for the trees" haven't you? Imagine trying to understand someone who quietly communicates, but it was hard for others to understand. Why this week we could make the connection, and see that they were reaching out all along is nothing short of a miracle. You know it is grace given when you know that you have not done anything to deserve such a blessing as special as this...it makes you feel thankful to be alive, it makes you feel happy. I am so looking forward to the challenges that are ahead of me. I want to face it. I want to grow. I know that my students are going to teach me so much more than I've ever expected. College was great, training is always helpful, but it is life's greatest challenges that really prepare you for what needs to be done. I was amazed that one of my students has been so patient for me to finally get what he has been trying to say all along. He just laughed at me like "now you get it"! What a joy. I am thankful for all these things. Even though I do not know what may happen, I have faith that it is going to be as it should be.
