But, I'm continuing to learn to rejoice and to give this trial completely to Him throughout every day.
1 Thessalonians 5:16,18 says, "Rejoice evermore....In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. It can be difficult to rejoice always--to be thankful for everything--but in Christ we can know joy in little trials and even in the darkest moments. That's what God is patiently and faithfully teaching me. This trial is an invaluable blessing to me. Oh, how I am thankful for it and the other trials, including the suffering times, that God has allowed me to go through.
How I long to know--to live in--that joy!
I'm so thankful that I can trust that God sees the end from the beginning, that I can trust it in His hands, and know that what He allows me to go through are what I would choose if I could see the end from the beginning, too.
God never leads His children otherwise than they would choose to be led, if they could see the end from the beginning, and discern the glory of the purpose which they are fulfilling as co-workers with Him. ~ Desire of Ages, 224

I was feeling bad that my kids may have to go without English again at least during part of this week...
I was relieved when dad offered to step in until I'm back to teaching. Yesterday morning I was fighting a low grade fever so I felt a little too under the weather to complete a lesson plan, so dad just had my students study.
But today... :) Dad's right now in grade 3! God helped me to finish my lesson plans for today. God is amazing! He provides. He cares.
Please pray for him as he seeks to do his best. He's already got a lot of stuff to do as a principal...but we don't have enough English teachers to step in for each other. What an awesome dad! (It isn't the first time.)
