Somehow it all works out

On Monday after spring break I walked into my office and saw all the mess, papers, folders and unfinished orders, and I planned on working in my office for at least half of the day. But then a teacher came in and told me several computers in the lab weren’t working. Could I go look at them? I made a note to go and do it, but I never managed to get to the lab.

That night I remembered I didn’t go and made a mental note to do it first thing the next day. In the morning, every time I started to go to the computer lab someone needed or wanted something, and I tried to love them as if they were Jesus asking me something.

Often it’s hard for me to know exactly what the will of God is in each moment, but I know if I just try to love each neighbour he puts in front of me, usually somehow it all works out.

Well, I totally forgot about the computers and I never got back to my desk to see the note I left for myself.

Later in the day the district technology specialist came in and said she had a few hours and did I have anything she could do. I then remembered the lab computers and asked her if she could help. She fixed them all. For me it was the hundredfold promised by the Gospel. I knew it was the love of God.
