Dreams In the Making

This is a post for me to have to look back on. It has to do with my dream of going in the daycare business. It's amazing how God works everything out. Never in a million years would I think it would go in the direction it was going. I won't be too specific just yet for a couple of reasons. I met a good friend roughly 9 years ago...I can't remember when I started working as a paraprofessional. She had worked in a daycare setting before, but she said it wasn't really for her. As life happens we ended up going our separate ways. We didn't stop being friends, but when I left my job we just didn't couldn't get our schedules together to hang out. She was newly married and we were just on different paths. I found out November 2008 that she was finally expecting her first child. I remember that phone conversation as if it were yesterday. I don't remember everything that was said, but I remember being in the front bedroom of the house I was renting pacing back and forth. I remember telling her it's a shame we couldn't be pregnant together. Little did I know just two to three months later I would find out I was pregnant with my first. Our lives got back on the same track and we kept in touch and talked pregnancy and baby talk. We met up a time or two after the kids were born but our lives got so hectic talking was so far and in between. I don't remember the date although if I would take the time to look back through my blog I could figure it out because I went home and blogged about it without saying out right what I was talking about. It was sometime last year we met at Chili's and she told me she was pregnant with twins. I was an emotional wreck that day and just lost it. I could not stop crying. I felt so bad because her huge smile quickly turned into worry thinking she had upset me. I remember leaving that day and immediately called my mom on the way home and lost it with her too. She talked to me and pointed out that somehow my friend was going to play a part in my daycare dream. I agreed in the moment, but as months went on I dismissed it because nothing was happening. Out of nowhere I get a text from her this past Friday ( February 15) asking about daycare stuff. Once again the tears started to come, but I held them back. I was so excited to have gotten that text that I was bouncing off the walls. Yeah, if you read my "Spirit" post you will understand when I say I think I may have been a "spirited" child myself lol. I really don't know what God has planned as far as this goes, but right now I am being taken down a path. I see hope for my dream turning into a reality and honestly going into business with my friend would a blessing. It's not something that will happen this year and there are definitely some concerns with finances but it's like I told her if this is what God wants the finances will be taken care of. God works in mysterious ways for sure and I'm excited to see how this story plays out :)
