Sometimes, I see how great God is. But every time I think that I get it, I find that He is greater still. Today I am at home resting. Not sleeping. I need some pain reliever, but don't feel like running to the store. But, I was supposed to be at school working. I went in.
It all happened like this: all new teachers were reminded by our supervisor to be certain that we had checked our subfinder to be sure that it was working. Apparently there have been a few glitches. Seeing as how I was feeling pretty lousy last night, I took it to heart and checked it out before I went to bed....just in case I woke up at 3 am more sick, I didn't want to find that it wasn't up and running. I did so, even listened to the tutorial. Then, I went to sleep feeling assured that I would know what to do if I ever needed it. I got up this morning and went to school. Shortly after, a sub showed up for me. A sub that works in the building frequently. A GOOD sub. One that is usually booked. And she hadn't even been requested. She said that she was surprised to see a job opening at my school. She snatched it up though it didn't have a name attached. And, there she was. And me without sub plans. ;) No fear, she's a pro. She was ready to go and had no qualms. Today was an easy day. A very easy day. But, I was so thankful to see her. I did some "must dos" before I left, and then I was off. The fever was making my brain feel foggy and my eyes were hurting. I went home. Remembered that my son had forgotten his lunch...ran it out to him. I know that will make a good day for him as well. Came home and put curry on to cook for dinner. Threw in a load of laundry. Went to bed. Hopefully I'll sleep soon. Need it. Though I went to bed early, I am still beat.
It's like God knew all the way around that I needed this day. And knowing that I wouldn't do it for myself, He did it. I am constantly in awe of how He has EVERYTHING handled for me. I could have sent her home. I could have been stubborn. But, I am learning to see His hand and to accept His kindness and meeting of my needs with grace. He is so very good. And every time I think how great He is, He shows me how He is even greater still.
blessings.
