All work and all play!

Day 6: Work

We have been so blessed to be put in the situation we are in right now.  Last summer I was a nervous wreck about what childcare was going to cost us!!  Then God, who was probably laughing at my stress, said "Hey I got this!!"  He opened an opportunity for us that we never could have imagined.  I received an e-mail about praying for a job opening at the Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children OKC campus.  We prayed and prayed and after coming to the campus and learning more my heart was changed!!  I just KNEW, and yeah God is laughing again, that I would retire in the classroom.  Now I get to work at home with my kids! They get to see me ministering to the needs of those around me and how important it is to be loved and to show love to others. This also opened another door for our family into homeschooling.  This wasn't something that we had considered doing before.  God has certainty changed our hearts and minds on homeschooling especially after hearing Voddie Baucham, going to a homeschool convention, and being surrounded by other homeschool families.  We are blessed to get to play at work!  We get to play with each other, other families, and our dear co-workers.

Another blessing we received this year is a job closer to our home.  We were so blessed that he was hired for an amazing position that he loves with a very awesome company!  God loves us and He has provided for us above what we had dreamed for our lives!!  God knew the desires and wants for our future before we had the chance to pray for them and He gave them freely!!

This picture is what I do!  Groups, Sunday school classes, volunteers, and many others come out to give their time to this ministry, give financially to support us, and/or pray for us.  This particular group came out and helped us make our flower beds look good.  This is so important to the families living here as this small act makes our entire setting feel more like a home.  If you would like to support us please click here!  Thanks in advance!!
