He's got this thing rigged! Part 2

Another example of God working all things out for the good of those who love him.

A team was scheduled to go to Honduras in July but the trip was cancelled thanks to the military coup that occurred. One team member, we'll call her A, transferred her funds to our Guatemala trip for Nov. On that trip was also our friend, S.

Fast forward to December. A finishes grad school, moves home with her parents, and can't find a job. She asks for prayer as she struggles with lack of purpose and fulfillment (and the frustration of being back at home instead of on her own).

Fast forward to January. S experiences a horrible medical emergency causing her to be hospitalized for 9 days, undergo serious surgery, and leaving her weak with vision limitations and pain. S has two little girls to care for.

A and S reunite at a Guatemala Reunion party, where S is still suffering from the effects of her surgery.

A used to be a nanny, wants to move out of her parents' home, needs fulfillment and purpose. S desperately needs childcare, someone to help manage her home, and someone to transport her to doctor's appointments.

A moves in to help S and her family! God knew exactly what His children would need and exactly how to weave their lives together through a variety of circumstances, some of which were quite painful and discouraging. We can be encouraged. God knows what He's doing...He knows exactly how to orchestrate every step of our lives - for our good and for His glory!
