Things have been really busy for me lately. I have wanted to do things with friends yet have not physically had the strength to do many things I would like to do. But, this past Friday was very encouraging. I had an appointment in the next town over, and after I had finished, I went my to see my friend’s cram school. (Cram School- a private school where kids go to study after school.) I stopped by to say hello and see what his school was like, but ended up spending a few hours there. We sat and chatted for a while and then I started talking to his students. Before too long, the junior and senior high students had pulled me into playing a game with them. It was really neat, that I had just met them, yet when it was time for me to leave, they wanted to know if I could come back. I think that is one of the best afternoons I have had in a long time!
This weekend, when we had our team meeting one of the things we prayed for was that we would have opportunities to talk with our teachers, and that we would see and take advantage of the opportunity. Today, I was really hoping for an opportunity to talk with my teacher and was given the chance and she even initiated it!
I was working on writing some verses down, and she said she had a question. A friend of hers said that when she had a problem she would pray and read her Bible. So, my teacher asked me if that was true. I was very glad to have such a chance and shared with her that it was true.
I know that God answers our prayers, but it is so encouraging when you see it happen!
