The little blessings

A few weeks ago I was struggling with a few things emotionally (from time to time I have a hard day... it happens). I prayed that God showed me his hand. That He would show me how he is working in my life. It was not that I was doubting that He was working, I just knew I was not seeing His work and I needed to refocus my eyes.
He has answered my prayer by opening my eyes. Here are some of the places:
1. Jilli needed a new bed (I will write a post about this soon). Beds for kids with special needs are expensive! Recently the exact bed (out of all of the many special needs out there) came on Zulily  at a great discount!
2. I got time to talk to Karla Hobson. She has been like a second mom to me for a long time. We don't get to talk as much as we use to however it is amazing to have time to catch up.
3. Dealing with switching over insurance for Jilli was easier then I was expecting. Brent was done with his job 2 Fridays ago and so was his insurance. His new insurance does not start until September 1st. In the mean time Jilli will only have her state insurance. I called to get that switched over and it was easy.
4. I was offered and accepted a new job. I will be teaching 4k with the elkhorn school district for this school year. I will be working part time teaching kiddos and also have more time for jilli and her needs. This sounds like a great balance. I am so excited. There is a lot of work between now and school starting but I'm excited for the work. 

5. Jillian's new therapy place is working out great. I am seeing gains already. This morning I was SO proud of her when she looked at me and signed book. Normally she would just sign "more" and then start screaming when I could not figure out what she wanted but this morning she successfully communicated. I am so proud of all of her hard work. 

6. I am thankful for the things God is teaching me. He has reminded me to come to Him with the little things. From praying when teaching is stressful to turning to Him to thank Him for the little things. I am working hard to turn to Him not only in the big but in the little as well. The little is just as important. 

If that is not one of the cutest things I don't know what is. I love when she brings us a blanket and just wants to cuddle.
