OH TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD







Here is an inside look of God's gift to me in the past 31 days. WOW I have been in the house a whole month already!


Pictures from my House Blessing on March 21st.

I hope you too can't help but say...WOW GOD IS GOOD!!

Please keep praying, soo many more details need to line up for the kids to start coming, but I would also like to announce the OFFICIAL NAME is now registered with BC small businesses as " LITTLE PROMISES NETWORK."

My first preschool under the network will be called 'Pamela's Little Promises' , so the vision is to model and equip other MOM's or Educators to also have their own 'Little Promise' as they desire.

Ok, need more financial miracles as soo many things needed to have this size of a home and to launch a business at the same time. I keep telling myself, like in the movie "Finding Nemo" ... Dora just sang... JUST KEEP SWIMMING, SWIMMING, JUST KEEP SWIMMING! That is exactly how I feel... swimming in DEEP waters with Jesus and He is saying.. just keep Swimming Pam!!



Come tread with me... I need your help too! Thanks truly for all the financial blessings and phone calls, emails and cards of encouragment, it has meant the world to me.
Family please come and visit sooner than later!!

Love you all!

The Perfect Gift
WOW WOW WOW... CRAZY NEWS TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL...

YES, GOD GAVE ME A HOUSE ON VALENTINES DAY... giving me a house is SUPER AMAZING, and providing it on this particular day was SOOOO significant to my heart as a woman. He has known the LONGING AND GROANINGS in my spirit to have a 'home' of my own. SUCH AN AMAZING HUSBAND, FATHER and BOSS ....HE IS TO ME!!

Ok, so as you know I have been looking at houses, and seen such extreme differences for the money value that I was starting to get confused and tired and feeling like it isn't going to happen this month. So this house I went to look at, seemed way out of my league... probably don't need that many bedrooms (6), and the area is unfamiliar too, but the price is right sooo what the heck, can't hurt lets go look.

The layout of the house was 'PERFECT' for the preschool being on the ground level with 3 bedrooms and the upstairs being my home with 3 bedrooms. 2 full bathrooms and 2 kitchens (up and down) and a nice yard and large balcony on the top floor. I KNOW TOOO MUCH!! So, the landlord was not there, it was a realitor friend showing the house and so I filled out their simple application and I attached my personal letter I had written to explain my plan of giving back to the community by providing a home preschool program. My only thought when leaving was, why would they give it to me as a single... it is ideal for a family. When leaving I stood in the yard (never did this at any other house prior) and said this prayer to GOD, "Ok, God I am not sure where I am and what the needs are in this area, but if your presence is not here and you need to be here... if you would trust me to represent you here through the children, I would love this house." Then I walked down the stairs and got in my van.

On Feb 13th Tuesday night, around 10:20pm I get a call and it is the Realitor, Peter and he says I am offering you the house first, there are many who want it, but I was impressed with your letter and you sounded like you had yourself together. I think I stopped breathing for a minute and he proceeded to say, you have to decide tomorrow, I will email you the lease and if you agree, I need you to come with 2 cheques... one for $900.00 as a deposit and the other for March 1st rent of $1800.00. Really I think I was frozen on the phone, and just said thank you and talk to you tomorrow.

Ok, so after printing the lease and going to my room I realize it is after midnight and I am shouting and screaming, crying, laughing and Praising God, because He gave me a house and on Valentines Day! The amazing thing of it all, is I really could write these 2 cheques because the money has been coming in and God has already prepared the way. I didn't have to scramble around looking for finances. So, here I am, feeling OVERWHELMED and nervous and realizing the implications of signing a years lease and really knowing GOD is all over this, though many more miracles have to happen. Besides rent of course, comes all the other bills of electricity and gas and really I need everything from a broom to a microwave to a dresser to a curtain.... etc.

I am believing I can advertise and have kids starting to come by May or June, so please be in prayer, as I am going to need HIS strategy for many details and trusting God surrounds me with people who will be resourceful to lend their expertise with all the details. I know I am in a battle when it comes to taking back the children from the enemy, so please add my name on any intercessory list! I am praying about the name as well right now, because I believe GOD is giving me a 'template' with this model of a HomePreschool concept that will multiply to other regions in the city and across the country.

Since signing the lease, God has provided another $2000.00, so to date I am sitting at $7,600 from the original goal of $10,000. Thank you for your prayers and support and as you may know, much more is needed and I will be grateful for all continued gifts and support to launch this vision. I am now accepting WALMART, COSTCO, SEARS, ZELLERS, IKEA gift cards just to name a few. I know Rome was not built in a day; so I am waiting as I believe this is to continue to be a MIRACLE story of HIS provision and not a BIG creditcard bill.

Well, plan your vacation, I have room for visitors from near and far, it might be a floor or a bed, but come anyway and see what OUR GOD HAS DONE FOR ME and the CHILDREN!!

So, it is an amazing story and I wanted to let you shout with JOY with me as GOD gave me a 6 bedroom home.. I know, TOO MUCH.. but that is MY GOD He gives TOO MUCH!!

ABOUT MY FATHER'S BUSINESS, Pamela!!

MY GOD IS SOOO BIG SOOO STRONG AND SOOO MIGHTY... THERE'S NOTHING MY GOD CANNOT DO (a preschool song that rings true in my heart today)!!
