The First Day

After a year of praying, crying and waiting, God has not only answered my (our) prayers, but also given me a direction to go with these boys and an opportunity for me to teach what I love: sewing!  It's paying their tuition and it's giving me experience.
If someone had told me that I'd start teaching middle school girls sewing, I think I would have laughed.  But, here I am, sitting in a church typing this and waiting for my class to start in about twenty minutes.  I am so excited.  I have six girls and they each have their own machine. 
The boys are engaging in this venture, although Isaac is such a home body.  He commented on the way here this morning how he would rather just sit at home and do his books by himself, to which I reminded him he'll be doing that three days a week anyway, but that this gives us a chance to get out of the house.
Looking forward to what God has planned for us~!

Oh how I wish you lived near me! My dd desperately would love to learn to sew, but it is a very slow process with no teacher, lol. Hope you enjoyed the class! =)
