Apparently I'm a terrible listener. Because when I take something serious to God in prayer, he answers with a big fat slam in the face. Infertility? A big fat "not gonna get pregnant ever", a definitive answer to our question. Adoption? Doors opened do wide we could drive a semi through them. New job for Jeremy? Well, here's a dream job with a higher salary, better benefits, and better hours.
Lately I've really been struggling with my job, taking care of the child I watch. He is a challenging baby and I feel like I spend 90 percent of my day taking care of him and my kids are missing out on my time, emery, and patience. I couldn't just tell his mom that her son was too much of a challenge for me and I couldn't think of a great reason to quit other than my own challenges with him. So today his mom stopped by and told me that for months his grandma who is retired has been begging to watch him full time. It would help then financially and he'd get to spend time with his grandma. As she told me this, I had a hard time containing my smile. What an answer to my prayers. I've been praying about it a lot lately, asking God what he wanted me to do. Well, his answer was obvious and I feel such a sense of peace.
So God? Can we have another adoption fall in our laps soon? :-)
