The real long story...
David, the family pastor at our church in Powell, sent out an email concerning a family of 3 kids, age 4,8,9 that needed a safe family home for approx a month. The email was sent to families that were approved for adoption....
GOD IS GOOD #1: Even though we are approved for adoption, the email was not sent to us-it was forwarded!
I sent several messages with questions concerning the situation and how we would handle daycare. After all, we had plenty of room for the kids, and they would be fed, clothed, bathed, etc, while we were home, but we both work during the day.
The responses we got were pretty much straight forward "we have to pay" unless someone from the church that had been thru training would want to watch the kids during the day. We even called SFFC and left a message to see if they had anyone that was approved to watch the girls...but didnt get a response. (phone system was down -we didnt know ) With that, I quit asking questions and just kinda let it rest. But I couldn't get those girls out of my head...so we started praying just that they would be taken care of...
The following Tuesday we got a call from SFFC asking if we were still interested. I explained our daycare concern...the way Rileys daycare works for the older girls is that you pay an activity fee for the summer activities, then you pay your weekly fee each week. That would have equaled approx $1200 not counting the activity fee.
GOD IS GOOD #2. Janet from SFFC called...Someone had donated $400 toward the girls activity fee!! She said to pray about the weekly fee and she would get in touch w us on thurs (2 days away).
GOD IS GOOD #3. Janet called and asked where we lived, that she was working on something - didn't mention what. Well, she found out the girls vouchers from DCS would transfer to the local boys/girls club!!! That meant 2 things...one, older girls daycare covered! Two, the $400 donated for the activity fee would cover all but $100ish of the 4 yr olds daycare for the month!!!
Oh but there is even more! Watch for the next "long story update".
