Only One could
Orchestrate this Outcome
ABC Wednesday
This Monday I was called into my principals office and offered my job back! The story he continued to tell me could only come by the hand of such a gracious God! There are so many details that it is incredible how God orchestrated every single one.
The short of it, because it is quite complex, is that an LEP teaching position opened up and I knew I was not qualified for it, but did not realize that someone else in my building was qualified. The principal and superintendent sought her out, but she was content with her current placement in 4th grade. She decided to pray about it and the day she was to give them her answer the Superintendent went into the hospital and was out of work for 2 weeks! So her answer, which was no, was now on hold. During this 2 week period she recieved an email from an ESL student that she had helped when she was in High School and he was in elementary school. The email was simple it basically said, "Thank you!" She took this as God's sign to her that she was to take the LEP position. So when the Superintendent returned to the office, so her answer had also taken a turn.
The teacher replacing me is now taking her 4th grade position and therefore leaving my position open once again. I was the first one to be called back from the RIF list, and therefore offered my job back! There are so many other little details, but the point is that GOD can and WILL do as he chooses in his time if we truly TRUST and belive that he will.
The greatest lesson I have learned through this entire trial is this: Beliving in God/Jesus is one thing, but Trusting in God/Jesus is a completely seperate.
James 2:19 talks about believing, it says, "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder."
One verse we have been memorizing with Annabelle that has to do with trusting God is Psalm 27:1
When you are truly trusting in Jesus and his death on the cross we realize we have nothing to fear and no reason to ever be afraid.
I share these things not to boast, but to BOAST in the LORD and his mighty works. I want Him to recieve all the glory for where he has brought me and where he continues to lead me in the future....thank you Lord!
I leave you with this song of praise that we sang in youth group tonight.

Oh Daniellle! I am SO excited about this. I am so thankful! God is SO good! But you know what? He was good even before when we thought you lost your job. He is always teaching us something, right?

All I can say is "Isn't GOD Kind!" Thank You for trusting Him for everything! I often think of how proud God is of YOU! I am too!
Love you,

Danielle, thank you for sharing these thoughts. I just read about faith from Spurgeon's Evening and Morning, and he writes, "Look anew tonight to Jesus, the author and finisher of thy faith, and thank Him for giving thee like precious faith with the souls now in glory."
Love,
Dad Wilson
