What I'm Learning

For some unknown reason God keeps putting children into my life.  First it was Pablito in Guatemala, then a job as a Children's Ministries Coordinator and doing life with a beautiful family with three young children.  Now it's working with third through fifth graders in a school setting when I had specifically stated I preferred high school age.  Turns out it never matters what I want.  God is gonna do what God is gonna do, and somewhere in all this it's a lesson.  More often than not it seems like it's a lesson in trusting Him.  I constantly try to move ahead, do things on my own, without giving thought to trusting Him.  I need Jesus.  Can't do this without Him.  And I need community too.  Even though my life is a little lonely right now, He gives me community, caring people who want to be there and walk with me through the hard stuff and the good stuff.  It's a blessing.  So even though those naughty third graders get to me sometimes, I can learn from them, and be Jesus to them.
