God is good!

Graesen and I had reason to celebrate tonight. 

We went out to share an ice cream (with a gift card I had which really makes it so much sweeter).

And to revel in the fact that God is good!

You see, God answered a huge prayer of mine today.  I have been majorly stressed about my financial situation as a single mom, and stressed about leaving Graesen to work more.  Today I got a call from the childcare director at my church.  She offered me a position as a lead preschool teacher in our church's 2 to 3 year old class!  I didn't even know there was a position open.  I had applied for a part time assistant teacher position a couple of months ago.  I was offered that job, but decided that with me getting a divorce I couldn't afford to take a job with so few hours.  I explained my situation and the director was very understanding and kind.  Well, I guess this new job just opened up.  She said she thought of me and figured she would offer me the job first.  This is such a huge blessing.  It is a 9-5 weekday job.  Graesen can come be a student in my class (for half price), so I will still be getting a lot of time with my little guy!  He will continue to spend time with Evan on Mondays and in the mornings, then will join me at school to be one of my students in the afternoon.  I go in on Monday to observe the class, talk about the details of the job, and create a training schedule.  This job answered my prayers about getting a job, my prayers regarding my worries in leaving Graesen for so many hours each day, and my prayers that I might develop more Christian friendships.  God is really, really good!
