a God who knows what we need before we ask

I always wondered what I would be like in an emergency. Well today I surprised myself. I always thought I would be a little emotional instead I was calm and in control. Today at school we had a fire and we had to go outside. None of us knew what was going on. Well it happened there were a couple of little fires that were put out. However, to go along with that we had no water at school. So at about 11:30am we all went outside. The administration decided to call school and send everyone home. So instead of teaching all day I was outside watching the third graders waiting for their rides to come. It was very exciting.

I thank God that it was not to bad and no one got hurt. Its funny how God knows things before we do and he knows exactly what we need. The past week I have had this head thing going on and have not felt well. So today I was tired I didn't feel well and just at the point of not wanting to be at school. I was contemplating seeing if I could take tomorrow off because I just was tired and frustrated at the school for not having electricity and not having water. I was just to the breaking point after a long week. Not more than 20 minutes later I find out that they have cancelled school for tomorrow because it is a national holiday. It was just what I needed.

Please just pray that I feel better it is just a head cold but it is wearing on me. It is straining my voice, I am having a hard time breathing out of my nose and my ears are clogged. THese would not be all that bad except when you have 15 third graders and you can't speak or hear them.

Continue to pray for my passport situation. THat it will come back in because I leave in 15 days. Continue to pray that we will start building soon. Our budget here is getting really tight with the new building. Please also pray that our electricity bill at the school will come down it is a lot of money and its not necessarily a fair amount.

Praise no school tomorrow so another 3.5 day weekend. Tomorrow I will get to go surprise my friend George at his soccer tournament by my house that I didn't think that I was going to be able to go because I had school. Holiday is coming with much needed rest.

Thanks for all your prayers and support we definitely feel them here.
