It feels so weird right now. So many things are changing, so many things are just different here. My head hasn't quite grasped them all yet. So much is going on, I just don't know how to comprehend it all!
First off, tonight the temperature is suppose to drop below freezing, and then by Wednesday it's suppose to jump up to 20C/70F. Such strangeness.
Second, and largely right now, It's Thanksgiving up here!?!?!? No, Thanksgiving isn't until mid November, at least. Nope, not up here in Canada. Monday October 10th 2016 is Thanksgiving Day (in Canada). I...... I don't quite have words to understand it or grasp it, but it's real and happening...... Again, strange, not what I'm use to.
Thirdly, as many people have asked me how I'm liking SLI 2, I can say I love it! 10 months ago, and friends, classmates and teachers can confirm this, I was like, "no" when it came to me being with kids. I said, "I'm not good with kids, I'm not comfortable with dealing with that. . . no" And what do you know, God changed my heart and showed me a true Gift of mine. I now spend 4-6 hours a day with kids, I am now a kindergartener assistant at a school. And the strangest thing is, I LOVE IT! Praise God! He is so Good!
Fourth, I thought that with volunteering and being at the church 50+ hours a week, I wouldn't have much time to spend with God. Boy was I wrong. Now when I think I have less time, I have found I have more time. I have found that I now value His voice more and am willing to make time. Last year, when I had plenty of time, I maybe had a half an hour or 40 minutes (including the 30 devotions time set aside in SLI). Now SLI 2 doesn't have any time set aside for that, and easily get to spend 2-4 hours a day with him, easily.
Fifth, Now that I get to spend more time with God and seek Him more, He's answering many of my questions and seekings. As I Listen to Him more, He speaks to me more. I asked Him to take me to different places for His glory, and is sure doing that. I asked Him to show me how to pray, He is doing that, and has done that. I asked Him (after being challenged by Him and a leader) to show me what He wants me to see in a book I'm reading, and He did --- PLUS He showed me the answers to a number of other questions because I was seeking to hear Him in that book. And through it all He's started a ministry of prayer in me that He's asked me to continue, and it lines right up with the callings that He has placed on my life. God is Sooo Good to me! Praise be to God!
