So, I spoke during chapel last night at the women's mission. And as I have been doing since February, I scanned the room to see if H was present. Because I was eager to hear an update from her about how her circumstances are progressing. (When I was there two weeks ago she told me she was on a waiting list for an apartment and I wondered if she had any news about when she might get into it.) However, as I looked around the chapel, I didn't see her. I asked a woman sitting near me if she knew H - was hoping I might find out from her about H's housing situation. But she didn't know H. And I was left to wonder.And my wondering is going down a very hopeful track. I'm thinking maybe that waiting list reached H and she is no longer a guest at the Rescue Mission. My hopeful imagination is telling me maybe H is taking a major step toward getting back on her feet, and that she is probably telling everyone about God's power and faithfulness expressed in her life.True, the only thing I know for sure about H is that she was missing from chapel last night. But I also know a few things for sure about God: *HE is faithful. *HE knows where H is and what she's doing. *HE is working for her good. I am so thankful for these things I know about God. They give me confidence that wherever H is today, it is well with her - because she's in His hands.
How does what you know about God help you face what you don't know about everything else?Friday, July 14, 2017
