I realized I hadn't posted a HUGE answer to prayer! Since January (when we found out I was pregnant) I've been praying for an excellent person to substitute for me at Grace Kids Early Learning this year. I've prayed they would be prayerful about it, take it on as their own program, and run with the vision God gave them for the ministry. I preferred them to take over the whole year, but I understood if I would have to go back to work in January.
My timing for God's answer was to have the person in place back in May, so I could tell last year's parents who it would be. After all, it's the director/lead teacher position, so they have to be able to communicate with parents as well as run a class well. By July, I was starting to struggle with worry and taking the problem on myself, even though I KNEW God was faithful to provide.
Of course, He did provide - and excellently! Kyla, our children's ministry associate at church, has agreed to take on the program for the whole year! She'll be fantastic at it. She's great with kids and parents, and better-trained than I am at helping kids grow spiritually. I'll help her start out the year, to help her adjust to academics and the differences between preschool and Sunday School, and then she's completely taking it over. I am so thankful to God for providing Kyla!
Typical God-fashion, within two weeks after Kyla accepted the job, I've been connected with FIVE other people who were interested in it. Why did I worry?
