Community

God calls us to live life as the Church. Emphasis on the capital C. This is not some place we attend on a weekly basis, this is a group of passionate followers of Jesus who band together as a community and grow as much as possible. We have been working on what exactly that looks like for us as a family lately.

Today, we found out precisely what it is. While changing the monster's diaper this morning, I noticed his stool was quite runnier than normal, and there were peas in his stool. Mind you we haven't had those in months, so I was quite surprised. I called the daycare and discovered that they had in fact served peas yesterday for lunch. Knowing hubby didn't serve them to him, I realized he ate some at school. When I asked his teacher about it, I was told that they didn't have time to worry about things like that. So, needlessly to say he will no longer be attending that particular school.

I do have a meeting with the owner of the school today to let them know that this should not happen and to further discuss other issues we have come across with them so they can improve. I pray that God gives me the strength and the words to accurately and calmly describe things to her so she can keep this from happening again.

We also have an interview with another daycare tomorrow that specializes in children with sensory issues and exceptional needs. I am praying this is the opportunity we have been looking for all of this time, somewhere he can be the sweet loving boy we all know he is.

Through all of this, I have needed to find somewhere to send him for the next three weeks until the other center has an opening for him and fortunately through the gifts of God's faithfulness, we have someone to watch him every day except one, and I have tow available people for that, just determining which will do that.

So thank you Father for your grace, protection, and love. Thank You for guiding us into a community of followers who want to help one another and to serve You.

Blessings, wilsonsmom
