| 3 months in my Home |
The many JOYS these past few months have included seeing GOD move through HIS  people to GIVE GIVE GIVE... both monetarily and in furniture pieces. The house is sooooo full of furniture! I remember after being in the house only a couple of weeks, saying... "OK, GOD how are we going to fill a 6 bedroom house?" Well, in less than 3 months the house is not only full, but I have needed to pass on some furniture pieces; like a queen bed, a couch, a desk, an office chair and a bathroom vanity... ALL because my HOME can't hold anymore. Seriously, with almost NO out of pocket $$ ... the CUP is full to the brim and over flowing! I think the Bible says something about that (Luke 6:38).
My church family here in Vancouver have been very supportive as well,
looking for items for me on the internet and looking in their own garages to
give and their children sorting through their toys to give too. I stand in
my home and look around and go... HOW DID YOU DO ALL THIS GOD? I have cried
many tears of JOY and pure overwhelmed excitement for HIS plan for this
HOME. I have this amazing guest room that looks like I picked everything
out of an IKEA catalogue and actually had a plan... but truth be told it
was a combination of 3 different ladies moving from the west back to Ontario
(and they don't know each other). I have this sense that GOD is into
Hospitality. I have opened my home already to several tired travelers with nowhere to go.( one family from Kyrgyzstan stayed with me for 2 wks, never knew them before ). I have also hosted 3 BIG dinner/Bday parties of 20 plus in each one. It is a happenin' place already, and I love that soo much!
The only unexpected surprise that I have come up against is to find how EXHAUSTING
the Family Day Care Licensing process is. When setting my goal of 3 months I thought by mid-May I would be up and running with kids in 'PAMELA'S LITTLE PROMISES,' but this is not the reality at all. I feel like my candle is
burning at both ends trying to do all I can, yet feel like the weeks are
flying by like days and wishing it was Monday again (who wishes for Monday's to repeat) .
So, here I sit, on May 14th, feeling like I have already asked for soooo much and you have been sooo generous, yet I have no idea where June/July's rent is coming from and I need your prayers and support to help me 'TREAD WATER'. My goal right now is to submit all the paper work to the Family Day Care Licensing Officer by the end of May and pray for a quick acceptance/stamp of approval as they do a walk through of 'PAMELA'S LITTLE PROMISES.’
Let me know if you would like to sow some more GOOD SEEDS in GOOD SOIL here
at ‘PAMELA'S LITTLE PROMISES.’ The children and their families thank you and I thank you in advance!!

Name: Pamela
Home: Vancouver, BC, Canada
About Me: I have been working in the field of Early Childhood Education(ECE) for 12 yrs. Received my degree at U of N in Kona, HI USA. I have set up preschools and/or trained teachers with our Biblical Curriculum in several countries. I love children and believe they can teach us so much about what is really important in life. They are the KEY to today and tomorrow.
I was raised in Ontario, Canada as a country girl down on the farm, drove the tractors as soon as I could reach the pedal. I have 2 great parents and one brother, Scott. I presently reside in Burnaby, BC where the mountains are incredible and the Ocean is near.
I love life and have seen the world as God has provided so amazingly.
