The Irony of It

Today I found myself consoling sophomores who were disappointed to see Manning begin negotiations with the Broncos. I heard myself telling them, 'maybe this is what needed to happen to allow Tebow to come visit" and "maybe God brought him to the Broncos just for this time"...seems to me like I'd heard those words before. Oh wait, I had, from God only a week ago when I was throwing my fit. It is amazing how God allows trials in your life as a way of helping others when they are faced with the same thing. God knew these kids would be disappointed and would need encouragement, so He had me face it first to help guide them. They are disappointed, of course, so am I, but we were able to see the bigger picture, that he come visit.
God re-emphasized today, He does have a game plan. He was well-aware in January when He told me to ask Him for this that Manning was going to sign with the Broncos. This didn't come as a great shock to Him like it did me. Today, I was able to put my faith in that knowledge and help some of my more disappointed sophomores do the same.
I guess that is why God told me to ask to meet Tim Tebow and not a Denver Bronco.
