When you see God at work

I want to share with you how I was able to see God working this week.

Coming up in March is a weekend women's retreat for ILE students and staff. This retreat is a 24hour get away for the women to get away and relax, to spend time in fellowship, worship, and to be encouraged. The cost of the retreat is $90 US dollars, which is pretty expensive for what most Tico's can afford, therefore there are not many teachers that are financially able to attend, and this includes my lenguaje teacher, Eugenia. Last week on of my classmates approached me about how she thought that Eu would love to go to the retreat but would never be able to afford it. So we decided that together we would cover the cost of her ticket to go, and we informed Sheila, the woman at the school who was heading up the event. The next day, Sheila approached Elizabeth and I and told us that she had talked to Eu and told her that two of her students really wanted her to go to the retreat and already paid her way. Sheila explained to us how Eu's eyes filled with tears and exclaimed that this was an answer to prayer! Eu has felt like an outsider around all of the other teachers, and has been praying for opportunities for bonding in fellowship. Praise God for speaking to Elizabeth's heart, and for allowing us this opportunity to serve our sister in Christ. I am excited to spend more personal time with Eu, and see how God will encourage and uplift her during our get away!
