The small joys

So last night I flew back into Seattle from San Francisco after a two day, one night trip to check out the city and learn about our mission trip that we are taking there this summer. When we landed in Seattle and I turned my phone back on i received a text from one of my students that just filled me with joy. It made my heart leap and brought a smile to my face. The text was from one of our girls that I love dearly. It read

"So I felt like informing you that at Ventus I learned that God is my interior designer and he is getting rid of my tacky wallpaper and replacing it with designer."

I know that this may sound a little odd to you, but for me it was God opening a door into the heart of a student I have been praying for for a long time. It was God working in the life of a student who has been so overwhelmed with the world and looking good and having the the things that she thinks will make her happy. It was God showing Himself to one of the most high maintenance girls I have ever met. It was and is truly amazing. I am so excited to see where this goes and how God moves. I have to admit that I was a little sad that I missed the Ventus service and wasn't a part of the conversation, but I can say that I am excited to be a part of this process and it is exciting how God can move in ways we would never think about. I mean seriously who would think that interior designing would be the way to a students heart.
Thank you Lord for how you move, thank you for how you show yourself and thank you for being absolutely majestic.
