I love how God provides for us in ways that are so much better than what we would do for ourselves.
Recently I was looking for someone new to help me in the home. Our old househelp, Emma, just had a baby girl and will now stay home. When she is ready to come back to work, we are praying that God will provide a new job for her, one that she can continue with after we go on furlough in June. When we began looking for someone to take her place, I thought I knew who it was that God had lined up for me. After all, the timing was right as far as I could see, I could communicate with her and she has years of experience so I could get lots done for furlough packing. But no, every time I pushed on that door it became closed again. I really didn't want to try an inexperienced, French speaking young lady in my home at this time. Didn't God get that? Well, He did. And He knew better.
Let me introduce Marie Noel; married, mother of 2 year old twins, delightful, worshiping, inexperienced, eager to learn, efficient, and get this: She understands what I'm asking for in my broken, childlike French! So far, she has been exactly what we needed, and we are very thankful that God provided in ways that we didn't look for!
