Overwhelmed by God and His blessings

Be prepared you never know when or how God will answer your prayers...
Matt and I have been praying constantly "God please prepare us, what ever you need us to do, how ever you want to do it, we are open to your leading"
Well today begins a 4 week adventure.

Yesterday in church we were approached by a dear sister in Christ who is facing a hard road ahead these next few weeks and has asked us while away during the week for us to look after her little boy.

so we have taken on mum and dad duties for a 6yr old boy starting today when we bring him home from after school care..
so starting tomorrow..  up in the morning to get ready for school, drop off, pick him back up again after school, homework and fun dinner and off to bed..
he is a funny kid, a bit hyper than most but goes with the ADHD territory..

He did really well with his homework ( reader and words) kept squeeling with excitement every time he got the word right and got a tick next to the words he read on the list

He had fun racing Matt on the Wii with his favorite Sonic Characters..

At Bed time had the funny experience of introducing him to.... a .. hot water bottle.. he kept saying but it will pop, spent 15mins trying to explain how its a special bottle that is made so it wont, asked me to pray so God would make sure it didn't pop..  hehehe was kind of funny and sweet..

So now its late and he is all tucked up asleep in bed.

As Matt and I sat here tonight chatting it Hit us just how close everything is and again how exciting it all is.

Friday (the first session) just seems so close and yet so far away, but for right now we are just enjoying the opportunity to put some positive experiences and influences into this little guys life..

So its late and I need to be up early to get not one but two men up and ready in the morning..
*BIG SMILE*  looking forward to it not just being a favor we are doing, and its a child of our own we are looking after..
