Standing on the stairs a little girl asks, "will you catch me, daddy?" He answers, "yes, I will!" She may jump or she may proceed to ask endless versions of her first question. If she does jump, it will be more because of whom she knows her father to be than because of his answer to one of her questions. The fact that she jumps does not mean that she has run out of fears or questions; it means that her trust is greater than her fears or questions.
This Summer I've had a grand time visiting with family and discovering the corner of South Carolina I now call home. It has been wonderful! I've also spent the Summer praying with my sweet family for a job. I was a teacher in North Carolina and absolutely loved it. It is my heart's desire to be in a school. At times it seemed bleak and while my faith waned at times my hope was rest assured on my God and His perfect provision. Yesterday, I got two phone calls for potential jobs (both of which were in the education realm.) Today, I have the opportunity to interview for a teaching assistant position in a local school. I would love it. I'm praying for my God to continue to guide me and to help my feeble heart to respond in a way that honors Him regardless of the outcome. He is good and His provision is always perfect-more often than not it's more than sufficient.
