I had no idea that my last blog's title would become a perfect way to describe my jobs here. The title "What's in a Job?" about sums it up. I was reminded once again that my jobs here aren't important but sharing the gospel is the point of it all.
Within 24 hours of posting my new job assignments, my boss had another conversation with me about a new new job. We had a brother and sister arrive at CB and they speak English not Spanish. The kids can't go to our Only Spanish speaking school on campus, so I am now homeschooling a 3rd grader and 7th grader. The kids are wonderful, and I'm really excited about being able to spend time with them.
They come from a background that isn't christian, so the Lord has given me a huge opportunity to tell them the good news. Cool! The Lord keeps directing us to the life of Elijah. Right now we are focusing on 1 Kings 17 "Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, 'As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.' And the word of the LORD came to him. 'Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.' So he went and did according to the word of the LORD. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land. "
I can only guess as to why God wants to use this passage. Please pray for the Lord to capture the kids' hearts.
