Miss Cheryl

My kids adore this woman - Miss Cheryl...and so do I.  A servant's heart can be such a rare thing, but we know a very special lady who demonstrated time after time what a true servant's heart looks like.  Miss Cheryl was our nanny while I was on bedrest.  "Our nanny" is the right phrase in that she took care of not just my kids but our family.  Many have asked how we found her.  In my heart of hearts I know that we didn't find her, God placed her with us. It's a long story, but essentially Cheryl saw that we had a need and I received an e-mail from her offering to fill the role right at my peak of frustration of needing to find someone.  She's wasn't on my radar of a person to approach regarding the role, but at the suggestion I found no hesitiation or anxiety - she would be PERFECT - why didn't I think of her!   Many times during the past several months God has shown me the parallel between my situation and the manna that he provided the Israelites.  Cheryl was our manna during these 10 weeks.  And, in the times that I'd want to grumble about being on bedrest (as I have a tendency to do...) God would remind me that I was becoming a good picture of the Israelites grumbling in the desert after He had so clearly provided and met all of their needs.
