Opportunity Grasped

Today LK signed a contract with the school and is officially the new grade 7 teacher. We have become a two-teacher family.

This job is very clearly a gift. We began praying last spring for work for LK in the fall. He is feeling the weight of isolation, Jo needs time outside the house, and grocery prices jumped again. We had something part-time in mind. However, God rarely answers prayer in the way we expect. Always his answers are better for us in the long run than our hopes or wishes could ever be. The timing is tight, but that is also normal for God (at least in my experience). It is an opportunity that cannot be refused without refusing an answer to prayer.

I am thankful for this gift, and knock-kneed about meeting the challenge. Please continue to pray for courage and wisdom as we strive to meet the daily needs of our students and our children.
