Close to Where It Started

Back in 1984, I began working for A Beka Books as a college student. Throughout that school year and the next, I packed books into boxes to prepare them for shipping. From 1992-2009, I ordered boatloads of books and received them via shippers. Now here I am in 2010, working for a shipper. I recently began working at a national shipper loading packages into airline containers for shipment. Loads of fun indeed, but it is truly a blessing from God. As I wait for the Lord's direction and plan come fruition, this will allow us to continue along our present course. Come fall, I expect to be employed full-time at school, but God is using this job to help meet the needs and pay the bills of the family. Truly He is wonderful.

Since I moved in August, I have been waiting to learn what God had in store for us next. It seems as if I finally know what that next step is. It also seems that the way is being prepared even before I am aware of the need. What a surprise -- God works ahead of my feeble, human vision.

We have been so richly blessed by God over the last few months, or more accurately, many years. I have been able to do all that I have wanted to do, from coaching, working with kids, teaching, and administrating. Now it seems as if God is opening many of those doors again. While I will not need to do all that I had grown accustomed to doing, God is slowly preparing opportunities to minister and serve in the areas that I most enjoy. In the mean time, I pack shipping containers. God has once again shown Himself to be sovereign, working steps ahead of what we can see or envision.
