“Oh! I have a niece who’s in school in France right now. She really wants to complete her master’s here, but the process is complicated and confusing.”
“When I get home,” Nadya promised, “I’ll send you the information. You can give it to her.”
Tatie [Auntie], by sending me this link you really made my day and I would say you saved me from the sadness that’s filled my life since I came back in France. Thank you for giving me hope.
I was left to marvel at God’s efficiency. I’d asked Him to muffle the bronchitis long enough for me to offer a special dinner to cherished guests, including a seldom-seen friend. I felt amply blessed that He’d carried me through the afternoon. But He gave even more. He used the gathering as an opportunity to give us encouragement to pass on to our beloved niece.

Sheila, isn’t it wonderful how one connection begets another connection and soon He has us all connected together! That is beautiful. Praying for you to heal quickly.
OH, God is so good. I love reading about how you give yourself to these two young women, Sheila. How blessed they are to be in your love.
Carolyn,
Yes, wonderful! I’m doing better, thank you.
Yes, Laura, He is! I am blessed by them too. 🙂
God is so good, and he is the arranger to make things happen. He keeps giving and giving and giving.
He is quite the arranger, isn’t He? Thanks for reading, Hazel!
ahhh… i love these stories. the stories of how God shows up.
Thanks, Emily. Me too.
And I have this feeling that I fail to notice almost all of them.
Thrilling when we get to see pieces-parts of all the great work He’s doing everywhere, all the time.
Pieces….like little bits of a great big picture: a picture so big you have to back way up, all the way to heaven, to see it all.
That’s it, Brandee.
Hello Sheila, I absolutely love your blog.
Melvin
Comme tu es gentil! Merci, Melvin!
Very cool, Sheila. And all because you listened…
Every now and then, Jennifer 🙂
I’ve never thought about “God’s efficiency,” but I guess you are right. There are many times I can marvel at how he as expedited things around me.
Bradley,
Well, at least from my flawed human perspective it sure looks like efficiency…. 🙂
