Our hearts are full!

Many, O Lord my God, are Thy wonderful works which thou hast done,
and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward. Ps 40:5
How do you express such thankfulness, such awe, such praise to the wonderful God that we serve? Again He has shown Himself strong on our behalf!
We've been considering what we're going to do for school here at home. We needed teachers and Raquel was willing to teach but was doing most of the cooking. We didn't have anyone else available to cook. Yet, we weren't sure what our time frame would be, so we were not actively pursuing an answer. Last Sat. Heidi came and said her friend from Sinoloa, Mexico would like to come here to cook. How does God do that?!! She was contacted yet that day and she said she's ready and can be here Fri.! She arrived this morning and will be our main cook.
Earlier this week we had decided that we should, by faith, go ahead with getting out the schoolbooks and getting started here. Regina Miller and Raquel are excited about teaching and are ready to start Mon. morning. We had not yet made any progress with the officials concerning not sending them to the public school and knew that our time was running on faith since the public school was in session again this week. On Thurs. a man came from the school and asked that Leland call him about the fact that the children are not coming to school.
We gave the message to Leland and later received a call from him with good news. The teacher at the school was offering to help us by keeping the children enrolled in her school but letting them do their studies here. There are, of course, many more details but the meaning for us is that the threat of losing the children is removed at this time! Praise the Lord! Thank You God! And thanks to all of you who lifted us to the Father in this situation! Never, ever underestimate the power in prayer!
So we again face schedule changes and a new routine for the children. Yet, we know that God has all those details already laid out for us; reviewed and approved by Him and feel such peace to follow those plans!
Blessings to you all!
