365 Days of Spirit-Filled Fruits Challenge-Day 83

Sadly, not all people felt loved yesterday. I heard on the radio about a boy with Asperger’s who did not get one valentine. It is easy to love some and it is harder to love others but Jesus calls us to love everyone. My daughter got the opposite of this boy with no valentines. Her teacher got bookmarks for all her class but when she was getting all the heart book marks, she saw a kitty bookmark and thought of my daughter who is the biggest kitty lover ever. So, the teacher announced that she got bookmarks for everyone but one person got a different one. My daughter was not expecting it to be her. That one little act made her feel so loved and so special. I am grateful to God she has a teacher that not only is working with her class on building up their knowledge but building up each of them in their heart. I pray that all those who are not feeling loved will remember or come to know that God’s love never fails and his love will always be there for them.

365 Days of Praise Challenge-Day 273

My first meeting with a college about becoming a medical assitant was great. I was so very impressed with the school and the person whom I was meeting with. By the end of our time together, I was feeling almost giddy with excitement and she could tell I was getting excited about the possiblities. Scheduling the program into my life will be the biggest hurdle to conquer. The starter class would be a month of M-F classes from 6-10pm after which I could switch to either the 6am-10am block of classes or the 10am-2pm block of classes or stay with the evening block. I can't imagine doing M-F classes in the evening for 9 months but I might be able to arrange my work schedule around the other blocks but may have to shave off an hour or so of work time. At this point I am keeping an open mind and look forward to meeting with another school next week to see what their program and school are like. I am praying a lot for God to give me a clear answer on the direction I should take and will wait for His answer. Does all this mean that my ministry is going by the wayside? No, but I will probably have to wait to try to get a faithbooking bible study group going. In the meantime, I will keep working on my ideas for writing a faithbooking bible study that will be for parents to do with their kids. Of course, this praise challenge will continue until Thanksgiving and than I will start a new challenge for the year that will help build-up my faith and relationship with the Lord and being encouraging to others. Only God knows our future and I am just praying he guides me along the way.
