God’s
Lessons
This
past week was a challenging one on many fronts and yet there were also lots of
joys. I found out on Monday that two of my Honduran friends were in Annapolis
Maryland and I wondered how I would ever be able to see them in the next two
busy weeks. Because I had to change my schedule at work, I was able to get
Thursday afternoon and Friday morning off which made enough time to run over to
Annapolis, pick them up, and bring them back to Lancaster. What fun it was to
share with them a bit of my hometown and the sights here as well as catch up on
their lives!
My
challenges varied from day to day but the overarching theme was the hurt and
pain in people’s lives and their reactions to that. So many situations came up
during the week that I wanted to fix and solve. By Friday as I was driving to
work after leaving my Honduran friends at a restaurant, I was pouring my heart
of frustration out to God. I could not fix the troubles before or around me.
And so I was reminded that I must let go of trying to fix things and instead
entrust the people and situations to God. Sometimes God will call me to action
and sometimes He will call me to prayer (actually always to prayer even with
action) and to waiting patiently.
