God is not finished!

I do know that God is not finished with me. I have decided to stay home from work this coming school year to focus on my health, family and the work that God has planned for me. I had been praying about what to do and for God to show me His plan. I was cleaning up in my classroom the last day of school and another teacher in the building came into my room to talk to me. She told me that I had been on her heart and that she had been praying for me. She said that God really spoke to her and that I was to take the year off and share my story of faith with those around me. Can God get any more bold than that? Well there it was from the mouth of another teacher down the hallway. I hadn't talked to this individual about the situation of working or not and yet God spoke to her. This just reminds me that sometimes we see God at work when we are not looking for it, but to be ready as He shows us His words through those around us and we must keep our eyes open to His calling. I am excited to share my story with those around me and spend some great time with my kiddoes. Cooper will start pre-school this year and I have a goal. I want to be able to take and pick up Cooper every Tuesday and Thursday. I am still unable to see to drive so I have been working with my physical therapist on balance and muscle coordination in order to ride my bike to take and pick him up. Nic and I figured out that it is about three quarters of a mile one way so I have something to work towards. At this point it is too far to walk with my right leg and so I am planning on attaching a cart to my bike and away we will go. Please keep me in your prayers that I can reach this goal of mine. I am working really hard and haven't made it off a staionary bike yet, but we are getting there and the muscle coordination is getting better. Thank you for your support and prayers. God Bless
