Today was odd. It was a mixture of good and bad- ups and downs. It started out pretty slow- a quiet morning, I got my workout in and then came back home to relax before work.
A family member had a health scare that luckily her doctor took seriously and was able to get results immediately so we wouldn't all be on pins and needles for days. That was a blessing that started out scary.
I got to work early because I had a meeting. The meeting went well and I see a big, positive opportunity coming for the Teen Center. Hopefully, if all goes well and gets approved, a city- wide Christian group for high schoolers will be meeting there weekly. This would be a great opportunity for us to get the word out about the Teen Center. But, it would also be a great place for them to meet on a consistent basis. So, it would be a great thing for both groups- and something I'd love to be a part of in some way- even if it's just supporting them by opening the place for them to meet. It's something I believe in as a positive thing for the community and I can see that it's really well run. I'm sure I could learn a thing or 2 from them, too! As my friend left today, he said he was going to pray about this. And, I told him I'd do the same.
When the Center opened, I was surprised by how slow it was today. I realized later that there were several activities going on this afternoon. So, along with the beautiful weather, I think if I were a teen, I wouldn't be there either! So, I got online to do some facebook promoting. I came across a post by one of my youth. It mentioned someone who passed away. After some research, I found out that a teacher from the middle school passed away this morning. He had been sick for awhile and not able to live the life he wanted to live. He seemed to be a well loved teacher and my heart goes out to his family and to the students and staff at the school.
So, where was God today? Answering prayers. He was there listening to the prayers for a health scare- His answer of no cancer was a welcome response. I believe He is working to bring 2 great community things for teens together and I'm excited to see where it leads. And, I am sure He is there to comfort the grieving.
