Each morning after breakfast, we have a time of devotions and prayer. Kyle has been using Emilia's children's Bible, and we also use the stories as a way to each more vocabulary. We read the story together. Then, Kyle shares a thought, and we close with prayer.
Anyway, Haydee has been sending text messages (in English) of the devotional thoughts to her best friend back home in Barcelona. She is using the text messages to help her friend practice her English. On Thursday, the devotional thought Haydee sent home was "The Lord will provide."
Haydee's best friend read the message. Her husband came a few hours later and was pretty discouraged because he hasn't had a job for some time, and he was particularly upset. She shared the message with Haydee with him, and they both felt better knowing they could place their trust in God as Provider. Two hours later, they got a phone call, and he was offered a job at IKEA, which is a few blocks from their home.
This story is exciting for us on many different levels. First, God does provide. Second, Haydee who when we arrived spoke no English is sending messages home in English. Haydee also told Jayme the story in English. Third, as I wrote a few weeks ago, I am again challenged to continue to tell stories and join conversations.
