My Daughter's Dream

Events in our lives have many purposes. Another purpose for my plans to go to India became clear last night while discussing Christy's plans for her future. She will graduate from Western WA University on March 20 with a degree in Anthropology and a minor in teaching English to English language learners. Her hope is to go and teach overseas, possibly in South Korea.

The steps that prepared me for India are now needed to help my daughter get ready to teach overseas: passport, visa, passport photos, vaccinations, electrical plugs, items to make her feel at home, language CDs, shipping info, etc. The beauty in this is the reminder that nothing in our lives is ever wasted. God uses our experiences for ourselves as well as others. If I hadn't been planning to go to India, I would not know anything about the above steps to help her prepare to leave the country.

What an awesome God we serve!
Look at how much He loves my beautiful daughter.
He values all the details of our lives.
Sometimes we get to see the purpose
and sometimes we have to wait.
I am thankful that I can see one valuable use today.
