2nd Grade Reading

I believe that God provides different people with various passions in life. I happen to have a very tender heart towards the orphans and hurting children of our world (among many other things). I teach second grade and every day we have a time where we get into small groups and read. Today in our reading book we had a story of a little African boy. He was a blind orphan. The story was all about a missionary that raised money to get him a braille Bible and taught him to read. As the children read the story, I started tearing up. When I looked up, I had 3 sets of questioning eyes looking at me. (They were probably thinking their teacher was losing it! haha) I just couldn't help but sit there and be reminded of all the children in this world that are just like the little boy in the story. Maybe God would like me to be a missionary. Or maybe he wants me to save a child from the loneliness and destitution of being an orphan. Whatever the case, I know God has something planned for me. And I'm sure it's above and beyond anything I ever dreamed or anticipated. His way is perfect, and His faithfulness is never ending. I'm just glad that God used something as simple as a 2nd grade reading book to help me remember the importance of constantly seeking His will.
