Just a glimpse...

Proverbs 30:7-9
“Two things I ask of you, LORD;
   do not refuse me before I die:
Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
   give me neither poverty nor riches,
   but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
   and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
   and so dishonor the name of my God.

These are the verses that I have been stuck on for some time now. I have been thinking about what this verse means when it says, 'give me only my daily bread'. I have been thinking about how this applies not only to finances and food, but also to other parts of life (love, grace, strength, etc.). I know that God is my portion. So how different would my life look if I intentionally lived only for today and asked God to give me my portion just for today. These are just some of my thoughts, I am not sure I explained them all but this is a glimpse of what is going on in my mind. :)

I also wanted to let you all know that school has been going well. Grammar is getting tough, but each day I am understanding a bit more. We have learned a new rule of subjuntive and now are beginning to practice it, so with more practice I am sure I will understand it (beyond just following the sentence structure).

Ministry with the kids has also been going great! This tri-mester, we have 5 new volunteers (Jennifer, Lisamarie, Mark, Sydney, and Kayla). Thank the Lord! Also, Steve, the director, returned back from the States back in January and brought with him some new lesson books and coloring books for the kids. They have loved the new books! We have also been blessed to have a few new little faces this tri-mester. God is good! Saturday is still my favorite day of the week.

Thanks for reading, I hope you all have a blessed week.
