The school year started and I felt rather removed from all of you and your first days. I was consumed with family matters as my elderly mother spent a week in the hospital and 4 days in a nursing home before going to be with Jesus last night. It was the sweetest of good-byes but still hard to do.
Isn't it amazing what happens when we really submit our wills to the Lord and watch Him work? Much of what happened with my mom these last 10-11 days, was totally out of my control and while it seemed the doctors and nurses were the caretakers, it was evident that even these strangers were being led by the Lord's hand. I was given peace at every turn and discernment with decisions. We never felt frustrated or fearful but trusted that everything was happening just how the Lord ordained it.
The lesson for all of us in this process might be to ask for wisdom when we need it, listen for the voice that delivers it, and accept the peace and comfort that follows. Because follow it will! God promises us that. I pray that your first days with your new students have been exciting and fun. You are the Jesus they need to see so ask for that guidance and strength as you need it. It's there in abundance.
Blessings.
