As blissfully happy as I've been staying at home with Callie this summer there has been a dull ache looming in the back of my mind. Instantly I started freaking out about where we are going to take her for daycare {Unfortunately, our incredible, in-home daycare had to shut down last spring}, how I was going to manage the separation anxiety and actually get excited about work. Panic struck my body and then I was reminded, stress and anxiety show a lack of faith in God. I kept repeating over and over, I am faithful, I am faithful, I am faithful... I am faithful that God will provide childcare for our sweet girl, I am faithful that He will light a spark in my heart that will ignite my love for teaching so that I can get excited about work, I am faithful that He will hold my heart ever so tightly when I am forced to say goodbye to my baby every morning. And then, I fell back to sleep.
We still don't have childcare figured out for Callie and my heart is still dreading going back to work. But you know what? I am not anxiety stricken. For that, I give thanks to God. With that being said, ideally we would like to put Callie in an in-home environment for childcare or in a daycare that is lead by Christian principles. There are a few leads but location seems to be a difficult thing to get around. If you know of any great places, or even someone who is looking to fill a spot in their own home please let me know. God has a place already prepared for her, I just need to find it now. Any help would be much appreciated! Besides, who wouldn't want this little angel 8 hours a day?!
