| "A Thousand Of Squares" |
  |
I have been reminiscing the last couple of weeks about the beauty of how God works things out. When there is no sensible solution to things, He always pulls through and validates Romans 8:28 once again. The problem is, we forget that again and again. I'm amazed at the way things have worked out in my life amidst some of the toughest trials. Last year was a tumultuous year in many areas, including a school that we really thought we wanted to be at when we moved into this area. That obviously is quite comical now. . . but the things we went through last year prepared us for things we never knew we'd go through. And, the things we went through at that school has made us SOOO thankful for the school our kids are going to now. Kaeman comes home with a smile on his face, Cedar has already memorized her first Bible verse, both kids constantly say mam and sir. Every teacher/administrator/parent demonstrates Godly love like I've never seen in one place before. The principal emails us with a little blog of what she's witnessed throughout the school, the teachers actually pray for the kids, Kaeman's teacher actually called us at home to talk about what he liked and how she plans on teaching them throughout the year. Can I ask for anything more? What started out as a one year stint at CCS will more than likely be an extended stay through 12th grade. The other day, Cedar was singing "Better is One Day," and this is her version . . .
"Better is one day in your courts, better is one day in your house, better is one day in your courts THAN THOUSANDS OF SQUARES."
That is so true - a thousands of squares would never compare to the beauty of His handiwork. The bridge of that song explains where I am right now - "One thing I ask and I would seek, to see Your beauty - To find You in the place Your glory dwells." I pray I never fail to see God's hand at work - even when things seem like He is no where around.
