Another one of those amazing days



A couple of weeks ago I had another one of these amazing days when you just sit back and say, "Thanks, God, that I get to do this!"
I was at Eagles Rising and all the other staff where out for the afternoon. So, on the spur of the moment I asked the students to come to the prayer room for a time of worship. All these students are working towards jobs or further education. Its the main reason they are at ER. Now is crunch time...we're constantly helping students with finding options and applications. It is a lot of work right now! And it is so overwhelming sometimes...there is no funding at ER to pay for these things. So, if a student wants to apply for college they must pray and trust God that the funding for the fee for the application will come from somewhere....this is where we are right now....in a month or so we will be praying about where the funding for school or work uniforms/clothes will be coming from. But every day is a day of praying and asking God to meet these needs.
So, on this one day I spoke to the students about beginning to praise God because He is already answering our requests, we are just waiting to see the answer in our lives. But even as we wait to see the answer, He is already answering and putting things in place. So we began to worship with songs of thanksgiving and declaring the goodness of God.....now these students can worship!!! So, over two hours later when some of the other staff returned we were still going strong in the prayer room. But, Johan, who leads the Sir Lowry's Pass Village outreach was back and it was time to go into this nearby township where we do outreach every week. So, we took the drums with us to SLPV. We gathered the children together that usually come for activities with the ER students, and we continued singing and playing games with the kids. Wow! It was a great day.
