Prayer Please

For those of you who don't know, I've been looking for a part-time job teaching somewhere in the Lakeway area.  Yesterday I had two interviews!  One isn't even worth mentioning because it was yucky and nothing that I really wanted to be a part of.  But the other one was near perfect (I say near perfect because is anything ever really perfect?).  The job is for a 4-5 year old classroom for Canyon Creek Church Preschool.  It is Tuesday - Friday, 9:00-1:00.  It pays surprising well, and I would get Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Break, and Spring Break paid time off plus 4 additional days of sick leave.  It doesn't run but just a few weeks in the summer, so I'd probably have to find some work during the summer months to make up the difference.  Brooks could be in a toddler room for next to nothing money wise.  So, the director called today and offered me the job...BUT - they don't have a spot open for Brooks.  So I have to either find alternate care for him (which kind of defeats the purpose) or pray that someone else in the toddler room drops out.  So, I would ask that you pray for the latter.  I really liked being at that school yesterday and just felt happy there.  Please pray that God would be in control and that I will be able to hand it over to Him.  If this doesn't work then there must be something more perfect out there for me.

Little One

Precious son

God must love you so...

Against all odds

A gift from God

For purposes He knows.

There's ball to play

Trucks to race

Motorcycles, too...

But most of all

Fulfill your call

God has chosen you.

This poem came from the book by Beth Moore, "Further Still: A collection of poetry and vignettes". I read it this morning and couldn't help but think of Brooks. This poem totally sums up my son. If you know anything about my attempt to get pregnant and my pregnancy, then you know he was against all odds. And I've always known from the beginning that God has a big plans for Brooks' life. I can't wait to watch him grow so I can see God's plan unravel.

Dear Brooks,
I picture your life being one filled with fun times and adventure, but please never forget your Creator, and the plans that He has for you on this Earth.
All my love,
Mommy
