Finally, we head home..you know, we head out from the office for our fifteen miles of two-wheeled therapy. While I was reading the 'report', Grover calls to bless me with conversation with him for the third day in a row....hope he calls tomorrow, or I'll be in withdrawals ;). Crazy kind of day and crazier post, I suppose, but I gave an account of the day because I want you to understand that while we may not be serving in a church, we have a ton of opportunities to minister. I only gave an account of my day, and not even all of the encounters with students, staff, and parents, that I had today and didn't even touch on ANY of the day Chas had with hospice. Basically, in all of these events, I don't have all of the answers, or fixes to some of the problems. What I do have is the blessed assurance of knowing the One who DOES. I don't have to always understand to trust His hand. He takes care of us in the small and large things. He may not make things turn out the way we want them, but He knows what is best. You know that you have those days when there is just not enough hours nor even understand everything. What we can do and should do is TRUST HIS HAND.....
I sit tonight tired from the day. It was an exceptionally trying day. It was filled from beginning to end with such an array of events. My heart is still heavy for Hannah Grace's family as they prepare to say good-bye to her earthly body. I arrived at the office at 8:35 this morning to prepare for the 9:00 classes and the 9:15 conference I had. As it always is when you already know your day is quite full, another wrench gets tossed in the cogs. At 9:00, one of my teachers had not shown up. Thankfully, my other scheduled teacher helped me handle the situation until another teacher, who had not been scheduled, could get to the office from the gym and my conference appointment waited patiently on me. I am blessed to have a few good teachers who are always more than willing to go the extra mile and understanding parents. Ok, so, first hurdle down. Then, of course, there is the day-to-day paperwork that has to be done. In the midst of that, I was blessed to have an old friend come by the office for a visit. Doobie, member/soon-to-be former member, that is, came for a visit. He was in Dothan and came by the office and we just sat and talked for a while, remembering times our families have spent together and standing in amazement at how life changes. While Doobie is at the office, another friend sends a text to tell us that her adoption date has been postponed...Praying for you guys, Ryan and Angie! Then, Old Socks gets to the office for our nightly ride home together. Just after he walked in, a friend called to tell us that her dad's brother had been electrocuted and that he had been air-lifted to a hospital in Orlando. Then, we end up talking to my boss for about an hour, then heading home for me to sit down and read a 148 page report before I go in to the office tomorrow.

Think with your own head. Be yourself. That you will be shine among people. Is it right?
