The problem with prayers is that when God answers them, it is often in the most unexpected ways. He often does not make life easier, but creates the arena for you to work out what you have been praying about. I have been praying for opportunities to make more friends outside of the church. I have also mentioned to the Lord that I would really like to be able to afford to go to SA to attend our Arthur's wedding in early 2013 (if all goes according to plan). Here is God's answer to me :
On Sunday, Hazel Wilmot, an ex South African who owns 'the' hotel on St Helena - The Consulate - emailed me and asked me whether I would be prepared to do the hotel's books for her. The suggestion caught me by surprise, but I thought long and hard about it. I had to accept that, although it is not what I was planning on doing - being the pastor's wife AND holding down a job - it was a direct answer to 2 prayers.
I will take Tuesday mornings off to lead the Sandy Bay BWA, and all my other ministries fall outside of working hours. Arthur and Graeme will help a bit more with the running of the manse (well, that is the plan) I start on Thursday 17th.
