Just a little updating first: Joel is at his old daycare (where he was last year, her name is Sherri) again (read Justin's blog for more info) and I am thankful. She is awesome and I would have never have left her in the first place had Hollie not been a) cheaper and b) closer. I am sad and I was kind of hurt that she didn't wait it out a little longer, but the good thing is that he is comfortable with Sherri and he is once again with older kids and one new baby who is 3 months old. I figure that since he acts and looks older that it works better and well, the baby is just good for him to get used to (not pregnant yet, for all of you wondering). He has not tried to bite anyone since he left Hollie's on Friday, so I think we weren't so much in a stage, but maybe just didn't get along with the little boy or maybe it was just a bad fit altogether.
Anyway, the one thing I was reminded of while stressing over this situation and over crying all week about it is that I need to pray for Joel more. All parents want their children to be perfect and even though he pretty much is, he still needs prayer. And he will need it just as much now as in 5 years or 10 years. I think sometimes we feel secure and think that things are going okay, so we just glide along for awhile and then when something goes wrong, BAM! we hit our knees as fast as we can. I am so guilty of this and while that is one thing for me to do that, Joel needs my intercession. Right now he prays with us before bed and before meals, but to really pray and ask God to meet his needs...well, that's my job. So it's been my goal to pray more this week, not just for me, but for Joel and his needs right now and in the future.
