God at Work

In bible class we have been learning about Paul and what God did in his life when we went out and spread the word of God. One of the ways God helped Paul was how Paul was a tentmaker. At the time, Paul didn’t know why he was a tentmaker, but God had him be one so that when he went on his mission and went out and preached, he could make tents for himself and others to stay in. Paul knew many different languages so he could speak to everyone. Paul had Roman and Jewish citizenship that he used to his advantage when put in tough situations, he could say he had Roman citizenship so then they couldn’t hurt him. Paul was a very smart man, he used that to get out of tough places, learn more languages, know who to preach to and where to go, and many other things.

God is at work in all of our lives, and I’ve seen it throughout my life. One way that God has been at work in my life was when my aunt and uncle adopted my cousin Caden. I have 2 adopted cousins, Zachary is my age so I don’t remember when they got him but I do remember when they got Caden. I saw my aunt and uncle do everything for this little boy, they went through so much for the health of this little boy, they saved his life. I might adopt someday after this. In the past things might have seemed bad to a little girl like I was, but looking back at it now, they were actually things God put into my life to further his kingdom. One of my past experiences was when my little brother was born. I did not like that my mom was having another kid because I liked being the little baby of the family, I wanted to be the youngest. After little me knew that there was no turning back, I really wanted the baby to be a girl, and he wasn’t. I cried when I found out because I didn’t like what was happening. Looking back at it now, 8 years later, I’m happy he was him and not anyone else. He’s the best little sibling ever and I couldn’t ask for anyone else to have been born. I adored the attention my older siblings gave me when I was a toddler, so I knew that I could do that for him. I’m so glad he was born and I can use this for future situations with my kids someday, and tell them that God does everything for a reason.
