The weirdest thing happened today during Bible Study. The power went out. A few minutes Pastor came in and told us the power would mostlikely be off until at least noon, and we might want to adjust our schedule accordingly. Not bothered by the idea, the teacher returned her attention to her book, and I said," God can turn the lights back on whenever He wants, Pastor." as soon as I said those words, the lights came back on! More joking than not, I turned to the lady beside me and said," all He had to do was say 'let there be light'!". Then we noticed… the kitchen lights still didn't work… of the (I think) 6 rows of lights in the Fellowship Hall, only the two rows over us came on… the heater was only working on our half of the FH. And the TV and DVD player worked for us. Brad spent the rest of the morning trying to figure out why only some of the lights were working.

The TV and DVD player quit (thanks to Brad) just as the DVD segment for today ended. A few minutes later the rest of the FH electricity quit again, then everything came back on… it was 12:45 by then.

Coincidence? Maybe… or maybe God blessed our faith that He could and would make it possible for us to hear that lesson today. We all knew and believed He could fix our problem if He wanted to…

Naive? Oh, maybe. But we are to have simple childlike faith.

I think He blessed us in this special way because He knew we were united in our belief and faith that He could and would if He wanted to…

What an awesome God! He even cares about a small group of 7 or 8 ladies in a Bible study and if the class happens or not! Wow! We are loved! See how He cares… even the little things…

I saw this about a week before I had the opportunity to live it again.  We are blessed. I have lived the truth of Psalm 68:6, more than once. It says "God setteth the solitary in families". And for me, He has. He has set me in multiple families!  I do not take that for granted!  I have had to make hard choices to step away from biological family that is/was not healthy or a people who looked out for my safety and well-being.  I am sure they have made choices that they believed to be best for themselves, but they were damaging to me and would have been unsafe for my children.   As a "solitary" person who has sought to love the Lord and His people,  I have been blessed to experience His unconditional adoptive love through His people.  The people He has placed in my life for me to love and be loved by.  I am always amazed when the families of those I love like family accept and me and my kids rather than being threatened ...

So excited. The bits and pieces seem to be coming together quite nicely for a summer adventure… me & my kids-a road trip in California. :) Summer is a little ways off still, but I can at least dream of the sun when I can't see it :). If I get the answer I am hoping for from one more couple… and call Brad's aunt, we should be able to make the whole trip with no hotel stays, and get to see at least 9 friends… Barbara is making great strides in her potty training. Good times… good friends… good memories… I can hardly wait!!!!!!!

Dottie George Prof. Ryterband English 3A 26 November 2019 Mentoring I believe mentoring is very important. Children don’t learn to be adults simply by being given a bunch of rules to follow. They learn by choosing to follow the leading of adults they love and respect. Mentoring can be formal or informal. There are programs like Big Brother Big Sister of America that pair kids with mentors. These programs are great and can make a difference in the lives of children, but sometimes the child can feel more like a project, like the adult mentor is trying to fix them. I believe informal mentorship is far better, perhaps because I greatly benefitted from it myself. As a high-risk teen from an abusive and neglectful home, I was fortunate to encounter several people who took me under their wings and showed me my life could be different. The four that made the biggest impact are those I call Grandma Lady, Grandpa Man, The Mom-Type-Person (or Mom), and Dad. Of these four Grandma Lady reached out ...
