Provision

I was on my feet for 4 1/2 hours today making copies for English and Reading. I've also been working on study guides for Bible. Tonight I'll be working on study guides for Science and History. I'm in full swing work mode now. I've been praying about a certain situation at school. Next year I'm taking on more responsibility with being elementary lead teacher. A child is being placed in my class that has an autism disorder - Aspergers. I have fought this decision from the beginning. My main reason for fighting it being the added responsibility of lead teacher. Another reason would be that I'm fearful of it because I'm not trained to work with autistic children. I joined a friend and a short term missions team for lunch today. The girl who sat next to me happened to be an autism specialist. She has agreed to come at the beginning of August to give me some tips that will help me in relating to this child. She may also come again toward the end of August. Best of all she's a Christian traveling around Nairobi and surrounding areas to train for autism. Her missions trip is 4 months and August is her last month. She actually leaves the country on my birthday. God is SO GOOD in His provision for His children.

Today I made a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies for my complex's day guard. It was well worth it when a smile spread across his face the minute he recognized what was in the bag. I like putting a smile on George's face. :-)
