Cedarville Magazine, Fall 2020

Dedra Wrigglesworth, Manager of Facilities Services, scrambled all summer to find hand sanitizer, dispensers, paper towels, and paper towel dispensers to place in all the buildings on campus prior to students’ arrival in August. Providentially, all the supplies she needed arrived a week before Getting Started Weekend. “I contacted countless vendors this summer, and the answer was the same: ‘We don't have any to sell, and we don't know when we will get more,’” she shared. “Given the limited availability of the products, I am so very thankful that the Lord provided.” If nothing else may be learned from 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that Christ is over all, in all, and through all, accomplishing His purposes and providing for His people, regardless the circumstances, to serve and follow Him. Wrigglesworth’s story is one of many confirming this truth. God’s steadfast kindness and grace have been evident in everything from an already existent campus health committee that met immediately as COVID-19 hit U.S. shores to the almost light speed conversion of classes from in person to online in four days last March. Over and over, the Lord has proven Himself once again to be the Lord who keeps and cares and provides. Cedarville Magazine | 7
