My story, His Glory

This has been a hard week.  After a whirlwind of a summer break I had to leave the States to come back to work and get over jet lag while getting ready for a new school year and I'm not sure I was ready for any of that.

I wasn't ready to leave my new nephews, my niece, daily conversations with my mom, the chance to hold my dad's hand while he prayed, sitting with my sisters in the sun watching the little ones or talking with them about life.  And now I'm not ready to leave the summer and start work.  As much as I love my job and thoroughly enjoy the kids the new school is scary.  I know that God is selecting the kids He wants in choir this year, but have forgotten to trust Him to take care of the year itself.  I keep thinking of all those kids looking to me for direction and it's intimidating.  By the end of last year we had a great comradery, but we had to work hard and there were some hard parts on the way to getting there, it's that part that I'm nervous about.

This morning I read Proverbs 16:3, "commit your ways to the Lord and you will succeed."  He promises that if we trust Him, He will take care of it.  Lord, help me to trust you.  You promise that you will take care of me.  It's more than just that you love me, you know how and are capable of taking care of me, and of all the kids You are putting in choir.  Lord, help me to see how you will take care of the relationships this year, how it's not all up to me, but that your Spirit is working.

Thank you Lord that you are always with me, and that you are working it out for good.
