It’s all about God’s timing!
This week was not my original plan for sabbatical, but God had different plans. I wanted to do it in June and was going to do meals on wheels and help in the office at the Alzhimers Association. However, Alzhimers didn’t need me and I ended up having to move it up to May.
God knew what He was doing!
I ended up helping at Pregnancy Resources after MOW every day. Not only did I get to use my copy machine and hole punch skills, but I truly got to be a blessing because God placed me there THIS WEEK. They were short on volunteers THIS WEEK due to vacations and graduations and an employee was out a few days unexpectedly. I got to use a little bit of design knowledge and wowed them with a layout in Word. It was nothing to me, but a huge blessing for them that I “just happened” to be there to create these encouragement cards. Cards they needed THIS WEEK! To me, this is big- I got to use my love of baking, of all things, to bless PRA. One of their employees is heading overseas to do mission work and her last day was THIS WEEK. You can’t have a going away party without cupcakes. One lady said, “People want to know how to bless us and I always say, ‘money first and food second!'”
God has an interesting way of orchestrating our talents and passions to further His kingdom. Yes, even through baked goods!
