Expect the Good

July 13- The entry from "God Calling" by A.J. Russell said:
Can you get the expectant attitude of faith?
Not waiting for the next evil to befall you but awaiting
with a child's joyful trust the next good in store?


Why would this be so interesting and another example of God speaking to me, you ask? Well I got to speak to a girl who taught at CCS in Seoul for over an hour the other night. She taught there for two years, but will not be going back this year. The principal gave her my information when I asked a question. She said she had asked a lot, so he thought she would be the best person to help me. I wish I was going to be teaching with her, but so enjoyed talking on the phone with her. After getting off the phone Allyson and I were talking about Korea and I said I couldn't believe how blessed it seemed I was going to be. I keep hearing about the class I am going to have and I know that my roommate,Gretchen, has been hand selected by God. I think we are going to get along great. I have also been emailing her as well.

So I told Allyson that I wondered what my struggle or challenge would be. She stated that there didn't have to be one and then we discussed that subject. And then I get up and the above was my devotion to meditate upon for the day. I have had enough struggles the past few years and why do I have to look ahead as if there will be more. I am going to choose to focus on ALL the blessings that God has been giving me and ALL the ones He has planned over this next year. Sure there will still be some tough moments, but the good is sure going to out weigh the bad.
