Hi to all. It's been a long while. My last post was about CHANGE. And through the last several years, there has been a great deal of that. It's been 4 years, and I have been working in Youth Service at our High School for that time. It's been rewarding, and challenging and exhausting, but there has been an opportunity to do good work and show teenagers the love of God. That alone is one thing many of them do not see at home. I am feeling I need a change in life again, and here I am waiting for that change - but having complete trust that God will guide my steps.
We have been through a pandemic, who would have ever thought? I think Caleb would have won the award for "adapting best" during all that, but I'm sure glad he didn't have to go through all the things he would have with testing and protocols just to deal with all his other health issues. I miss him every day.
Wherever you are in life, I just wanted to take a moment to encourage you to pray, and know that God will direct you when you have faith in Him. His path for us, his WILL for us is to be in Heaven with Him in the end. Whatever path he leads me down, I know it is the right one, every time. He knows best, and He wants us to be in the places to be able to do the most good for Him and His Kingdom. Know that. He has you, just lean on His understanding when we don't understand ourselves the "why's" that eat at us sometimes.
I leave for a Mission trip tomorrow to New Mexico to help with Manuelito Children's Home. They are doing great work and caring for precious kids and I am thankful for the opportunity. Look for ways to do good and look for the good in all - it's always there.
Blessings, (and a promise to write more often)
Beth
