AMAZING!

READER WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE AS SO MANY AMAZING THINGS HAVE HAPPENED READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This year started off something like this: My husbands job was in transition and we were not even sure if he was going to keep his job. Things were going south with Alex's behavior and I was being faced with the reality that I was going to have to start working full time again. Needless to say we were at a loss for what was happening. Within a week everything just flipped! We learned that Lloyd would be working at a permanent site; which meant he did not lose his job, but his pay would be less(even with a 2% pay raise). We were just grateful he still had a job. Then my husband shared an awesome vision he received of me opening up my own daycare center. This is what he shared with me:
My little vision.

Hey sweetie here was my little vision about something in the future. I see you having your own preschool/Daycare.

The building was about the size of the house or even your current employment based on perspective of the view from the building. The walls where a whitish or light color paint. The floors where all light hardwood. The building had a vast amount of natural light coming through the windows as there where windows down each side. There could have also been a skylight but not sure as the room was fairly bright with no lights on. There where 3 other people there with you and not sure if they where partners, or employees.

I gave instructions on how to get pricing to be competitive with other centers but low enough to entice enrollment.

Advice was go to various preschool/day care centers and get there pricing and make it to where you would be profitable but affordable. You would use Abby as you where asking around for the pricing as if you where going to put her into it but you would also state that you have friends with children that are at various ages and you where getting info for them so the information would be freely given more than if you went in with no kids and told them that you where opening a business and being competitive against them.

You only where going up to the Kindergarten age group. And you would charge an extra fee like $25 a week or discount pending on if the child was potty trained at a certain age.

Abby and Luke was not much older from what I could tell. But it was sunny outside and looked to be a beautiful spring/summer day.

On Friday Alex came home from school fairly upset that the kids had made fun of his project and feeling very down on himself. He did a community service project all geared around services that he did at church or related to church. Then on Saturday the 9th I went to a bible study. I shared with the ladies how Alex had been attacked by the kids at school. Then we went to Saturday night prayer at my church. During prayer five words kept coming to mind; renewing, anointing, refreshing, expectations, and faith. I also learned that my pastor had prayed for my two older boys and had a vision that they were both going to have the power of healing. Then after prayer I asked Della (attended the bible study earlier), if I could observe her teaching in 4's and 5's on Sunday. Before I spoke to her I had opened my bible to Psalms 17:13-19:24; did not have time to read it so bookmarked it. On the way home from prayer Alex was going on and on about how he did not have any friends. I was combating his negativity with lots of positive. Then a song came on about how the Lord is our strong tower and we need to run to him. I told Alex to take refuge in that song. Went to church on Sunday and decided to read Psalms(remember where I marked my bible on Saturday), in Psalms 18:10 it says, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe." This was confirmation to me that I was doing the right things with Alex. Then while I was helping Della in the classroom, she told me she had something for me that fit in perfectly with what Alex was going through. She gave me part of the lesson she was teaching and it was all about not listening to what others say about you! More confirmation!It was amazing how God was using people around me, the radio, a preschool lesson, and most importantly his word to give me confirmation! Then Sunday afternoon the icing on the cake! I found my adopted brother! I have known about him since I was twelve, but never thought I would find him. Can you believe it was as simple as googling his name and finding him on Facebook! Facebook has brought lots of people together! AMAZING! I will have to write another post about that, but lastly I want to leave you with this link!
