A new bunch of kids to pray for...

of course, I'm speaking of all the kids who were just kicked out of Moody First Baptist Daycare which is also closing. Their last day is May 24! They gave even less notice than Leeds did. And okay, I know these kids are not orphans but during the daytime while their parents are working, they still need loving people to teach and care for them!

I've said it a few times already but I'm gonna say it again--I just do not get these churches. They are so much more concerned with the wrong things than they are the things they SHOULD be worried about. Do they really think kicking these kids out on the street is going to help their "reputation" in the ocmmunity? Jesus welcomed the children and yet the very people who are supposed to be His followers just so casually disregard this ministry like it's nothing and it's THE MOST IMPORTANT MINISTRY THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE!!! I can't help but wonder what the unchurched people think of this. How are they supposed to look at us and WANT to know Jesus and strive to be like Him (which is what we're supposed to be doing) when they are acting completely opposite?

So does this mean that God wants me to rethink waiting to open my own place? It's just so overwhelming. I want to, I really really want to. But it's going to cost so much money that we just don't have. And I've had a little taste of being a director before, one of my very best friends was a director for years and my mom has her own place so I know--it's a major stressball! Would I not be much happier and my family better off if I just remained a teacher. Or is it even about what *I* want?

I'm willing to take it on but I need to be absolutely SURE that's what God wants me to do. I've never been very good in the discernment department. So please, please pray. I need clarity. And money. Lots and lots of money. But mostly clarity! And for God to go with me every step of the way through the process if this is what we're to do. Lord, please send me a sign. And while you're at it, can it be written in the sky in letters "Michelle, yes this is what I want you to do" so there'll be no mistake?

Thank you, Lord!
