My Burning Bush!

Recently, I have been trying to decide what God wants me to do with Emma Grace next year! I was not sure if I should send her to preschool for one more year, home-school her, send her to private school or just enroll her in our local public school. It was starting to overwhelm me.

Well, everything started to change last week. It started on Monday night when my very sweet friend Chantelle had told me that she had been praying for my decision and felt like God told her to tell me that I didn't need to agonize over the future (which is what I was doing with regards to holding her back because of her age). That he was in charge of that and he would take care of Emma Grace. What a relief!!! But I still needed some guidance on where to send her to kindergarten. All of my options are excellent choices but where did God want her. Then on Tuesday I was reminded that fall registration was due at Emma Grace's preschool and I started to PANIC! If I wasn't sending her to preschool next year what was I doing. I immediately started to cry out to God and ask Him what I should do. Where did He want Emma Grace!!! I left her preschool and drove straight to our local elementary school to check things out. I felt good about the school, as I always have, but I didn't feel at peace yet. So, I called the private school and asked them a million questions ( I am sure they think I am crazy) until I was satisfied that it was also a fabulous school. But still I did not have a peace about either one! That is when I started pleading with God to give me a burning bush! I needed Him to make His will known to me in a bold and unmistakable way. After that I needed some wise counsel so I called my good friend Lori Leal and told her I was going to pick up the boys some happy meals and head to her house for some quality girl talk! She so sweetly agreed and I was off to McDonald's. After I order the happy meals for Noah, Aron and Jackson, I pulled up to the pay window where I was blown away by God's Love! The lady at the window informed me that the person in the car in front of me had bought my meal and then she handed me a card. The card said "Have a blessed day!" Location: The name of our local elementary school.

Now that is what I call a BURNING BUSH!

After I caught my breath, I read on to find out that it was a card designed to get the word out about a new church in our community that met at our local elementary school. The sweet lady in front of me was just trying to spread the message about God's love and in the process God used her in an unbelievable way! God is so good and he is just waiting for us to ask for his help and guidance!!! Give Him the chance to move mountains for you. He can do it!!!!!
