God directs our steps

Here is another picture from my inlaws house. This is of their birdhouse with clematis wrapped around it. I loved this so much I took a zillion pictures of it!! I have 3 other views of it so don't be surprised if you see it again on the blog. lol

Today was "hump" day but I really felt like I got a lot accomplished. It was great to get some things done and "check" them off my list.

God worked greatly with an issue I had at school. I am in charge of an important thing at our school and had a parent who helped me and she was awesome. She told me yesterday that she felt the Lord was telling her she shouldn't help me again next year. It isn't that she didn't want to help me, but the Lord was giving her the sense that she was going to be involved in something large and needed more time. Although I wasn't glad to have this, I understood from what she was telling me. We both immediately began praying and asking the Lord to give us clear understanding about next year. I also prayed that if it was true that He wanted her to step down that He would give me another person "just like her" to help me. Well, today He has done just that! As I prayed about direction He kept putting a name in my head. This afternoon before I left school my parent emailed me to say that something happened today to make her know for sure that she cannot help me next year. On the way home I told the Lord that I would call the person He had been putting in my head and if He wanted her to help me then she would say yes without hesitation. When I called her, without hesitation, she said yes. It was a wonderful testament to the Lord's guiding and directing. He knew the right time for my friend/parent to share with me what the Lord had been working with her on as well as getting me ready to move forward with this other person. I am praising the Lord for He worked all of this out and I didn't even have time to stress really. lol God is good.

It is amazing what a difference a year makes. A year ago today I had to leave school because I was physically and emotionally exhausted over Mikayla's sickness and dehydration/hospital scare last April 30. I was not doing well on this day a year ago! I thank the Lord that He has shown His faithfulness and given me the exact opposite kind of day that I had then.

Well, it is off to church tonight. The kids are having a car race and they are pretty excited. :)
