I wonder

We have enjoyed a few very busy days with extended family and although tiring, very enjoyable.  In the middle of all this I received two unrelated phone calls from people with whom I had professional relationships in the past.  The first was from the young man who was my ministry assistant in the last church where I served as Children's Minister. He and I worked very hard to create relevant environments for the children and found that we had much in common regarding creativity and desire to worship and serve.  He has been working full time in the restaurant management field and called to ask about our church and say that he is ready for a change in his life.  As Edgar and I are praying about moving our coffee business from our home to a location where we could roast, pack and ship, and sell retail, we have also considered a small coffee shop but quite frankly don't want to be tied down to having a shop to run.  Of course if our friend decides to move to town he will need a job and that might be a great fit.  Can't help but wonder what God might be up to, . . . hmmmm.

Then I got a phone call from a lady who lives in GA and is a Montessori teacher who is involved with helping small churches open preschools as a ministry to grow their church.  She is working with a new church school and of course setting it up with a Montessori curriculum.  One of the most rewarding things I have ever done is train teachers in the implementation of Montessori education on the Infant and Toddler level.  The course is so informative and practical for educators and parents.  She wanted to talk with me about the possibility of training some Infant and Toddler teachers for her new school.  Can't help but wonder what God might be up to, . . . hmmmm.

Lastly we have been working with Ryan's school and a local psychologist to best evaluate him and support and assist him with his learning.  We had a appointment last week and the Dr. had more questions than answers.  We thought we were on a pretty clear path, but now feel we need to gather more info before we make any final decisions.  Of course we want to be careful to not put him through too many tests as is it very taxing.  So we have personal  knowledge, observations, evaluations, and screenings that all play a part in the puzzle, but right now all the information is very inconclusive, can't help but wonder what God might be up to, ...hmmm.

What we do know is that God is faithful and His mercies are new every morning.  As for what our future hold, that is unsure, but we know that He knows and we trust Him.
