He's Already There

“But God chose what is foolish to shame3 the wise.” (1 Cor 1:27a ESV).  There have been so many times that God puts us at a place at just the right time when help was needed.  For example Tuesday I was at the market buy food for our trip back to the children’s school facility.  I was standing there looking at the water trying to figure out which one did not have gas.  There was a young lady there and I asked her, "Water No Gas."  God chose her to be there for me at that time, why this young lady she spoke English very well.  And again yesterday when we arrived back at the hotel we had been staying in we were told all rooms were booked for a wedding.

 

We did not know what to do and there was a young man there who heard us talking and came over and asked if we needed an interpreter.  He spoke English very well with no accent as though English was his first language.  This has happened to us so many times and all I can do is just stand there in awe of our omnipotent God.   I don’t need to worry about tomorrow because God is already there taking care of things for us.  What a great consolation to know he cares for his children that much.

We go so many places and we hear all of the people who are speaking a language we do not understand.  And then today it hit me, this how it is with Pasha, he is with many people he knows but he does not know their language and they do not know his.  And for those of you who don’t know American Sign Language is classified as an official language.  So unless he is with someone who understands his language he is just like we are now.  We are here and we are trying to communicate and there are some words we know but not enough to carry on a full conversation.  So the next time you see someone who might need a little help.  Please stop and help, who knows, you might just be the person God has chosen to be there tomorrow at just the right time to lend a helping hand to a stranger.

We had a great time today with the children and I saw the director again, the children really like him and he has been such a kind man.  And I tell the children to be good and obey Director because he is a good man and really cares for the children.  I know he feels like he is their Daddy because he is with them and makes sure their needs are met.  Next week we will be coming home for a few weeks waiting on our court date.  We will come back then and finish up everything and it is going to be so very hard leaving them behind.  I know it is for just a short time but it will seems much longer than that to me.
