I am floored right now...wow...God is so good.
So here's the deal. I was planning on going back to Haiti from January 4-11. Some things changed with the group going...and long story short...plans changed to come back on the 19th. I already was scheduled to work that week and didn't know how I was going to get off working. I headed up to work today to try to figure it out. I said to God on the way in, "God if you want me to go, I just pray finding people to work for me goes smoothly. If not, I pray finding people to work for me is difficult (as it can be when your trying to find people to cover for 4 shifts!) and I will stay home."
When I got up to work, I first went to talk to my manager. I wanted to inform her of what had happened. I wasn't expecting what she told me. "Heidi, I'm going to take you off that weekend. (3 shifts) All I need you to do is to see if you can find a few people to consider being oncall for those days. Or else, consider it taken care of!" Whoa! Really God? Its that easy? I only had to call a few co-workers before all but one shift was covered. Wow.
The last day that I needed to trade I could only trade that shift with about two people. The first phone call I made, my co-worker was more than willing to help me out! Wow again!
I walked out of work with a smile :) Merry Christmas to me! haha
The last blessing today....I called my mom to inform her I was going to be in Haiti for two weeks instead of one...and she was happy for me! Thank you Jesus.
I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present :)
P.S. I have saved quite a bit for my trips to Haiti, but with switching my ticket, its costing me a little more than planned. If you feel led to give a few bucks, let me know...I won't turn you down this time ;)
And even more than money...I'd appreciate all your prayers as I prepare for this trip!
