A bump in the road.

I found out yesterday that at the end of this month Finn will be moving on to another childcare option. I have been watching this sweet boy since he was 6 months old, and it is going to be really hard on both of us to make this transition. I will miss his sweet smile and cute boyish ways, but I know his parents have his best interest in mind.

As I begin to process what this means for my family, especially financially, I can't help but worry a little bit. To say that Daniel and I have gotten used to the cushion that my salary provides would be an understatement. Some life changes are going to have to take place. We have been able to save some money(not as much as we probably could or should have) since Ransom was born, and that will hopefully help us make the transition a little bit better, but it will still be quite a challenge to us.

My biggest worry has become about the schooling that I recently felt called to start. I still believe that God has this plan for me, but I am beginning to wonder how he is going to accomplish it.  We will no longer be able to pay for the classes on our own, so I will be looking into some financial help.

Your prayers would mean so much to me as we move foward. Pray that I would not let worry overwhelm me. Pray that Finn and I would transition as smoothly as possible. A prayer for Daniel and I's transition into living a more frugal life would be much appreciated. Finally, please be in prayer over financial options for my schooling. I know that God will provide a way, if this is truely His will for me.

I honestly think that this is God's timing for me to stop watching Finn, but it will be a hard road for many different reasons. I know that God is in the middle of this, nothing surprises Him, and He is orchestrating something new and it is gonna turn out fine (better than fine really).

  1. So sorry to hear that, really hoping for the best for you! I watch a little boy as well with my son and it would be hard situation to be put in if I lost that extra income. Are you able to look for another child? I know it's scary but if you screen it, you might find something on craigslist. Or a nanny website?? Good luck!
