Daycare thoughts

I began running a daycare in 2004 because we bought a house just for this purpose. I had all sorts of wonderful plans for me and my husband. I figured if I had a home and brought in money while I stayed home I would have the perfect setup for a family. I am a child of God and know that He always works His plan. Somehow, I thought I could make Him see things my way. God's hand in my life has played out obviously different than I would have done it; but, the important thing is that I understand this whole letting go and letting God now more than ever.
I don't think I ever wanted bad things in my life which always makes this philosophy of letting go harder. I figured I was wanting what God wanted. He has shown me so different. For me, the future holds great things unknown to me because I am done planning. I just want God to surprise me!

I want to say that my life, though trial ridden, has been blesssed. If I ever write a book it will be called, "Life is Trials." I am not trying to be a downer. I am happy and content with life. I just think I somehow supposed everything would always be grand. I have not only learned it is not all grand; but, that it is okay to be less than grand. My slogan in life is be kind to everyone because everyone's having a tough time. I don't always have to know what the tough thing is for everybody; but, if I realize everyone is having a tough time and treat them with kindness no matter what - my world is a better place.
