I second Philothea's cautionary note -- gotta trust those instincts! and many prayers, Molly. You will be a blessing to the kids you welcome into your home.

Wow, Molly, your services have been so well received and I know you will be a blessing to all the families you help. Praying for you as you transition into your new routine.

Love,

Well, it seems to all be falling apart before it really even begins. I haven't heard from the one woman with the baby that I was concerned about, which is fine by me. But, the other little one that I thought was a certainty may not be. The grandmother is worried about the interaction between my two year old and her 13 month old. She is coming this afternoon to observe the two together (along with the rest of my crew and the 13 and 11 yr olds I am watching this week!). The two kids that are here this week are very trying as well.

Maybe God wanted me to go through this process to help me realize that there is no "easy" money and that perhaps my energy is better spent trying to be frugal.

On another note, my computer died and I no longer have access to my Quicken files. Could you offer a quick St Anthony prayer that I can find the Quicken disk to load on my dh's computer and that he can at least get the files off of my computer.

One more request while I have your ear (am I being greedy?), dh has been approached about a job that would solve all of our financial problems, and then some. The top salary is a ridiculously large amount. Please pray for him as he discerns if this is the right path. It is in a field that he has been out of for a while and he isn't sure that he wants to go back to it. Pray for me that I can support him in his decision process without being blinded by the money.

Thanks ladies! Now back to baby proofing my house for the third time today!!!

Molly...I feel for you...I really do, this could have been me if I were not pregnant. I will keep your intentions right alongside our intentions for financial guidance.

Thinking of you often and remembering you in prayer!

Praying for all your intentions, Molly and that God makes His Will known to you and your dh!

Just wondering - how'd the observation go yesterday?

Thanks so much for your prayers. The observation actually went very well, and we are still set to watch the little girl. I was afraid the grandmother was just looking for a reason to back out of it. I think now that she is just very concerned for her little charge.

The other two issues, the Quicken disc and dh's discernment, still need prayers. I will probably have to go out and buy a new disc tonight but all my data is still trapped. I feel paralyzed without it.

On a bright note, the mom of the two older children I am watching this week told me today that she wants to pay me more than the agreed amount because she knows her kids are difficult and they have gone home happy every day this week. I think they are so used to being picked on that our home is a nice respite for them.

Praying for you Molly that you will feel God with you in every decision. I also agree to go with your "gut" feeling.

Prayers for physical and mental strength for you Molly, what a big challenge.
I hope that all will be safe and well with many prayers for your dh's discernment, if it is God's will, for this new work opportunity.
God Bless
