Blessed

I have learned through the years to praise and thank God during happy and sad times. He is good and sustains me through everything. And it's absolutely amazing when He creates a blessing out of a mess. One of my little ones was allegedly mistreated by a caregiver a few weeks ago. It took a lot of courage for the witness to speak up, but I am grateful, b/c she was a voice for my child, who could not tell me herself. I didn't focus on my anger/shock/hurt at the situation, just focused on getting my baby into a better situation. God moved mountains for us and she is okay and will be in a better facility with better care. I am not sure if there will be more to this story or not, still praying about that. I am a big believer in what you do will come back around to you, the good and the bad. I also understand that nothing that I could say and do will be more significant than what God will do with this situation. For now, I am just grateful that my child will have a new start somewhere else. Life is hard enough, you should not have to deal with outright hatefulness in preschool, especially from your teacher. Looking at what has transpired over the last 2-3 weeks, the good and the bad, I realize again how blessed I am. There were nights during the ups and downs of the situation with my child where I laid in bed at night, thinking and occasionally shedding tears, willing the anger not to take over. I did not even know what to pray for anymore, I just took comfort in knowing that HE would work it all out for the good of us in the end, Romans 8:28, 31. And he did.
