Jul. 2, 2009 - A Story of God's Hand in My Life
Well hello everyone! Yesterday and today were really crazy for me. I'll tell ya a little background story first. I wanted to learn Italian this year for an elective, but then some circumstances led me to believe that God wanted me to learn the Indian language of Hindi (for missions purposes). I thought about it for a few days, prayed, and talked to my parents about my upcoming decision. Daddy contacted an Indian man he works with and he said that Hindi wouldn't be a profitable language to learn, unless I were doing it for fun. He recommended Spanish, French, or German. Mama suggested Spanish, but I didn't want to learn that because it's such a common high school language, and I wanted to do something different. She told me learning Spanish would have its ministry opportunities also, and I finally decided Spanish.
Well, yesterday I read a story about someone in Guatemala who encouraged a lady who lived there to ask the villagle schoolteacher to read her her Bible. He got saved! I thought about how incredible it would be to see people saved like that. Then I remembered an article about things single young ladies could do after school. It suggested staying with and helping a missionary family for 6 months. THEN I remembered that a nice couple who taught Mama at a private school are missionaries in Mexico, and I thought I might could help them out. THEN I remembered that I am learning Spanish! Is that perfect or what? I don't know how it will all work out, but I am really excited! I'd really love to go to Mexico and stay with them! Today I had this overwhelming joy because I know God is in control and He is working in my life. I mean HOW INCREDIBLE it is that the Creator of the universe loves me and cares about my problems enough to work in my life like this! HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD! An addition to this story: like the day before all this happened, I asked God for some work to do for Him! Amazing, huh?
I know this is a ridiculously long post ... sorry! Well, I hope you were touched by this little story of mine. Please pray for God's guidance and peace with this idea and, well, my whole life! Thank you all for being such great friends!
