I don't have a good title

I spend more time thinking about what to put in the title than I do actually writing!

I had "the" meeting today. It went well. Unfortunately, I still ended up crying. But, in official Belinda fashion, I cried after all the hard feeling were discussed. More unfortunately, due to my stress, I was not able to hold off crying alone, but right there in her arms! (Who needs pride! Not me!) She was very comforting and sweet. We immediately got everything squared away and had lunch together.

The rest of the day was so surprising! I am really amazed out the families I will be ministering with. They are incredible! And, I also met another sister in Christ who interviewed to work at CLPS North. She is so sharp and so on fire for the Lord. I really hope she feels the same peace I do about her.

Good night! And THANK YOU PRAYER WARRIORS!

Hard Work, Compromise, and Regress

A group of parents plus my father-in-law worked hard yesterday getting classrooms and office area ready. Many were there for eight hours hanging shelves for NWBC's use, cleaning their whiteboards, hanging white boards, etc. We respected their No food and drink signs and we vacuumed and took out the trash. (Taking out the trash was not easy because they did not have a dumpster. Thank you Mr. Hohler for taking it home with you!)

I praise God for the hard work and diligence and their dedication to essentially starting a new school!

Today I received a call from the Children's Director saying we need to remove the white board from room number 4, and the only cabinet (that holds our curriculum) from room number 4. Plus all the curriculum I put in the office area. She was also not happy that we organized and cleaned her office.

I asked, "so you can't use a white board in your sunday school class?" She said, "No we cannot."

She also said the cabinet was in her way. It is where they have children's story time.

I really felt we were very respectful. I did not expect this phone call. And I am heartbroken.

God, give me patience and understanding! I pray that you will help me to love her and that I can go above and beyond for her and Northwest Bible Church.

Or, provide us with a different place.
