Answered Prayer

So today was Bible Study Day (aka Thursday School). J did well, as usual; he settles into the pre-K class quite well every Sunday, so it was pretty run-of-the-mill for him.

Then I brought E to the nursery, told her she had to stay there. Could she cry? She shook her head no. So I said ok, I was going for Bible Study and I'd come pick her up later. Immediately, she starts to whine and cling to me! And grows into full-out crying as I leave! I decided to give it a go anyway. And about half a minute later, she had settled down fine! A few of the ladies who popped into the nursery later told me that E was doing well, and playing away quite happily. Something that we honestly thought was impossible before. So even though it was a pretty small thing in the big scheme of things, it was still an answered prayer from God. I am incredibly thankful.

We got off to a great start on the Bible Study today. We're doing a Beth Moore study on Believing God, and so far, it is sounding very inspiring. I'm looking forward to really getting into the study, studying His Word and hearing God's voice, and fellowshipping with the other ladies in church. It's very exciting.

Hi Fio, just checked in, but managed only to read the recent posts. Glad things are going so well with you all! I'm also doing a Beth Moore study with a ladies group here, hope you are watching the videos too? she's an amazing Bible teacher, God's really taught me loads thru her these last months! we're doing "Living beyond yourself" a study on the fruit of the Spirit. And the 1st time i joined them the boys settled so well into the "childcare" arrangement I knew it was a God-sent. So I can readily identify with so much that you muse about wrt to thanksgivings n special little things that make motherhood all worth the tiredness n tediousness n patience! SMile.
