I mentioned that had some things I wanted to share and then I wasn’t able to blog yesterday. Our internet and phone stopped working yesterday afternoon and we weren’t able to get anyone here to fix it until late this afternoon.
We missed it!
Now, for my story.
Thursday morning I was trying to figure out how I could get involved in a local class for women who have just recently moved. It’s called Moving On After Moving In (or something like that). It sounded like a really neat thing that would be helpful for this transition. As I was looking at the information about child-care, I started to get frustrated. It said something about $40/child for child care and only mentioned pre-school ages. I felt discouraged. I didn’t want to spend that amount of money and I don’t just have preschool aged children since I homeschool. I started that day feeling overwhelmed and sad. I sent an email to the contact person about childcare asking for more specific information. After lunch, I got an email back and the woman said that childcare was free and that other homeschool moms attended and that Ethan would have a place as well. I started to cry again– only this time it was because I felt so relieved and grateful. Every time I start to freak out over something, God reminds me that He’s still here taking care of us.
The other thing I wanted to mention was about our Girls’ Night Out. I ended up sitting by a woman who was from Minnesota. After a little while, somehow she brought up that she had an Alliance background. Turns out Shelly and I were in Bible quizzing at the same time (she’s about 4 years older) and she also told me that she worked as the assistant at the Northwestern District office about 10 years ago. I knew a lot of the people that she knew. It’s a small world!
