Tea For Two

After he left there, he came upon Jehonadab son of Recab, who was on his way to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said, "Are you in accord with me, as I am with you?"
"I am," Jehonadab answered.
"If so," said Jehu, "give me your hand." So he did, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot.

Today has been a wonderful day! I had my beautiful friend Natalie come up from Gladstone (or should I say, Happy Rock!) to visit. We began the day with morning tea at our local Shopping Centre, shopped until we dropped and then came back to my place for a cuppa. Here Nat shared with me all her wonderful ideas for her Teacher Portfolio. For so long I had fretted about this massive portfolio that I would have to create, but once I saw Natalie’s and how she had done hers, all my fears were put to rest. Even though it is still a lot of work, I don’t believe it will be too big of a task for me to handle.

Isn’t it just absolutely amazing how God works! I had been asking God to show me how I should construct my portfolio in a way that would best reflect my creative talents, display my knowledge and exhibit my personal philosophy of teaching appropriately. I wanted it to be just right, but not require too much effort – as I also have lots of other prac planning and assignments to do. And, sure enough, God gave me clear direction! When I had a look at what Natalie had done for her portfolio, connections started going off like fireworks in my mind. I suddenly got all of these amazing ideas – that won’t take too much effort, but I believe will display exactly what I need to display!

Not only did I have an amazing day with a wonderful friend, but God used it to profit my studies. You see, God really does want us to enjoy EVERY moment in our lives (and not always be working!!)

Thank-you God, for such an amazing friend!!

Lesson for the Day: God cares for the small things – especially when they are going to Honour Him!
