First of all, I apologize for popping on here to ask for prayer when I've been so out of touch.
I miss you all!
My daughters got all inspired to help me dig out from under my clutter and redecorate our dining/den
without spending any money except for paint... well, we may get a slipcover for a chair someone gave us.
Anyway, DH and I were discussing money yesterday and God has blessed my PC business so much in
Nov but Oct I had a low month and you all deal with money issues to so I know you do the same juggling
act. Anyway after we talked I sat and prayed and cried that if God was trying to direct me to take on day care
again that I would try to be obedient but that even the thought of it made me very sad. I asked Him to help me
continue to get more organized at home so that I can manage things quicker and more efficiently here and I went
to town to run some errands. I stopped by a precious friend and prayer partner's new little art gallery and while there she got
a phone call. (She is the director of a preschool in town for the last 19 years). The call was from her 2year old
class assistant saying she is quitting and won't be back when they start up again after Christmas break.
So she says to me, "Know anyone that loves children who might need just a bit of income extra that could join
our staff family?" I nearly cried. It's not a huge salary but I love 2 year olds and it's 4 mornings a week. I would be
done at 12 noon. I would still have time for phone calls etc. and "home" jobs. I told her I would pray hard and asked
God right there with her to really show His will in this decision.
I feel more positive than negative about it right now. She just called me to say she is just praying without ceasing for me
to know what is best but that they would love for me to take the position. I wouldn't consider it if it was the teacher position
because that would entail far too much planning etc. I could still be at my kids school one afternoon a week which would
work out.
Anwy... this got really long like I always do. Would you guys let me jump back into your lives and your prayers even though
I've been absent and lift this up before Jesus for me? I truly am asking Him to be upfront and crystal clearly bold with me to
know what HE wants. The money it would bring is is like, already spent if that makes sense. It wouldn't be play or fun
money, it would go right to ongoing bills. I thought if we can catch up, then dh will go to Mexico with PC on the trip I've earned but one thing I'm pretty sure about is that I will probably be taking the money instead. We cannot in good conscience go on a trip while we owe money.
I truly believed he and I needed that week together. satan
has worked so hard to drive wedges between he and I and trying to hear what God wants me to do about taking this trip or
not is a great place for the enemy to beat me up. But I do think that God is giving me a true peace about not going now. It does make me sad but I think it's the right thing to do. I don't know how to switch with HO about what I'm choosing but I'll look into that.
Thanks SO much for your eyes and hearts. I thank you each in advance!
