Where He leads, He will feed

We started our annual A'oga Samoa on Monday. Every summer we have this school to help teach our children the language and culture. Every year we are always looking for volunteers because our staff is inconsistent during the summer. When Sunday School is in session, it's easier to have teachers because most people are available on Sundays. But A'oga Samoa takes place during the week and many teachers are either working or taking classes. But somehow, we always manage. To put it better, somehow God always provides.

It never ceases to amaze me how God's provisions are endless. Just when I think there's no way we can make it, we are too short staffed or don't have the materials or supplies, somehow God always provides. This year, one of most reliable teachers, who has the largest class, will be out with some medical issues. I thought, my goodness, who will teach that class. Her class loves her and she has a great rapport with them. All of sudden, we had a couple visit from Samoa. Their profession? Teachers. Would you believe it. They have been here for several weeks and leave just after the conclusion of A'oga Samoa. Auntie Mine said during Youth service this month: where He leads, He will feed. Where He guides, He will provide. Where He points, He will anoint.

That has been proven over and over. I'm an idiot because I always have anxiety; will we have enough teachers? Will we have enough students? Summer time is family vacation time, graduation time and other activities going on. I counted two students in my high school class. Yet on the first day, five showed up. Wow. And the overall enrollment this year is higher than it's been in a long, long time. It's humbling and a good reminder that we can only do so much, and the rest is up to God. We have a very transient community because of the military. We are losing people all the time due to deployments or people being reassigned. But as this example shows, when others leave, God will bring others to fill up the space. Or He will have others step up to the plate. I believe in that. He will provide.
