Then we begin to get involved with a homeless mission and that snowballs into something bigger than anyone envisioned, growing from 8 volunteers to over 50 in just a few weeks with bigger plans already in place to start a 2nd location. Mike is now leading a youth group on Sundays, building a deck out back, school is in full swing, I am starting my new job on Monday, and it storms in Kansas. So Mike has been asked to go back to help with damage claims at the same time I am supposed to travel for work for a week... and so on and so forth.
I realized a while back that God was going to do whatever he wanted with me. This new job is another example - all of my applying and networking when I got laid off was necessary to prepare me for something, but it was never his plan that I would get one of those jobs (including 3 at Hewitt that I could have easily done). I had to wait, and learn to trust in His timing. This little stint at BP was a blessing - some extra income and keeping me in the market while building my reputation (references) so I could do the Adecco deal.
But the point was not about me at any time. I realized that everything that has happened over the last 2 years are for Mike. He is being led to start a business in ministry providing much needed equipment for relief efforts. The people he needed to meet are here and God is using me to provide for our other needs.
God, I thank you that you are the great Provider, that you see in me what I can handle, what I can become, and that you have chosen me to be a part of your work. Continue to lead and teach me that I may enable even better things to happen for others, in Your Glory.
