Bumble Bee

Part of our Story of moving to Bratislava is simply how good God is at providing for our needs. As some of you know, we didn't move back to BA partially because of finances (it's expensive to be here). God had a lot of wisdom and reason for the delay, but that will be for another blog entry. Back to Provision.

Chuck Smith is famous for saying, "where God guides, He provides." Our move to BA is simply that reality working itself out. We felt the OK to look for a flat, He provided it for the right price and all conditions were good. We signed the contract, and then... my main clients canceled theirs. For me that meant a huge loss in income. The obvious question was - so do we back out of this move to the 'big city'? NO. Where God guides, He provides. The next day I received an offer to teach English at a international school! BTW - I didn't look for this job and I'm not sure how they got my CV! The cool thing with the job is that it's 1/2 time with full-time benefits and our guys get to attend the school for free! (which is about a $1000 a month bonus). How good of a God do we have? Very good!

Too often we live like busy little bees. Work, work, work. Strive, push, make ‘it’ happen. But with God it doesn’t have to be like that. Sometimes we can simply receive from Him, and then we are in the position with work with Him.

Here is a little video clip of Gabie reciting a new song he learned at school. Enjoy!
