A sticky note on my desk top has the verse 2 Thess. 5:18 on it, talking about giving thanks no matter the circumstance, because it is God's will for us to be in that circumstance.
It's a favorite verse of mine, but a new thought in it just hit me today. So often we are pining to know "God's will for our lives"....so rarely do we like to think that those everyday sticky, uncomfortable situations are actually His will. "God's will" is not always this big huge calling that saves the world...often times it's getting out of bed every morning, working through homesickness, or just being there for that crying student.
Right now for me God's will is pretty simple. Stay in Zambia until December, have a good attitude, and put in your best effort (no matter how you feel). Ok...I think I can do that. :)
