Man, God is good! Tuesday morning I was running late. The alarm went off at 5:45 am and there was no water for me to wash my face and brush my teeth. (We typically get blackouts here and sometimes don’t have water…the result of living in a village.) Thinking hard I remembered that I had water in my filter that I could use! So I improvised and began to get ready for work. I wasn’t feeling well and had a cough which made me move kind of slow. I needed to leave by 6:30 am in order to make it to Katongo by 7:30 am when I was to teach my first class. I left my house at 6:45 am walking super fast to try and catch a bus at the round-a-bout (about a 15 min walk from my house). My legs began to hurt and when I got to the round-a-bout I had 2 buses pass me already full. I began to get discouraged thinking I was going to need to walk much farther to catch a bus. I go so excited when I saw another bus coming! I flagged it down paid my 2,000 Kawatcha (about $0.50) and was headed to the junction for where I would then walk 30 min to the school. To my surprise the bus did not stop at the junction and kept on going towards Katongo. I was getting VERY excited that I was just going to be a little closer than normal and it would save some time. I began to praise God for that specific bus that picked me. God truly blessed me Tuesday and had this bus ready for me to take me ALL the way to the school and I only had to pay my normal fee of 2,000 K. Even in the little things I am learning to praise God and to seek His blessings through all situations!
Please continue to pray for me as I am teaching…each day is a new adventure, and each day is a struggle.
