Let me first say my sophomores are no longer 'my' sophomores (sigh), they're someone else's juniors and I have to share my time with them in class with other students, it's no longer just 'us.' It's a good thing I like all those others kids as much as I do or I might resent having to share my kids with them!!! On the upside of them not being 'mine', I do get to teach them for three classes this year instead of one and I spend my lunch hour with them as well. When God answers this request, it will be even better because we are spending more time together this year.
Speaking of God answering this request...if you have read my previous blogs, then you know about my 'token for good' from God. If you haven't, I'll share the token with you here but encourage you to go read my previous blogs to understand, otherwise you may roll your eyes at this and say it's all coincidence. I've asked God to indicate with an article on my MSN page about Tebow anytime He feels it would be appropriate that He is doing something specific to bring about the fulfillment of this request. I made that request just about a month or so ago. Occasionally, an article would appear and it was exciting. Right before the Olympics there were four days in a row with articles about Him and then not any. As we went back to work last week, several days had articles and then school began this past Tuesday and there was an article...then there was one on Wednesday...then there was one on Thursday...and yes, Natalie, if you see this before Monday, there was one today on Friday!!!! Do you see it? The frequency of these articles appearing is increasing. More and more God is indicating that either He has not forgotten or that He's doing something specific to arrange circumstance as they need to be for Him to answer.
It is SO hard not to speculate. You see, one of my sophomores was gone all summer, God couldn't answer with him away. He came back this past Monday, the day before school started and every day since then, God has given me my token. Something else that makes it difficult, for the first time we can remember, the school where Stephanie's boys attend is starting school after Labor Day...that gives us a 2 week window that God could answer, since one of my consistent requests has been that God allow her and her family to be with us when we meet Tebow.
This is crazy...and exciting...and GREAT!!!! God is doing something here, He is picking up the pace of whatever He is doing and it could be that very soon we will be praising Him for a long awaited answer to prayer....I'm ready!!!
