Wednesday we celebrated! The girls have a new behavior system in the house... they get signatures for completing their daily responsibilities and then they get scored from 1-5 on attitudes/caring for their babies/respect/etc.
K has had some really hard days since moving in to PDE. She has a hard time controlling her temper and her tongue. She is the youngest and the newest and fights for attention. In our new bahavior system if you get two grades below 4 in a week you are given a stricter schedule, more responsibilities, and harder consequences. She was the first one to have to hit phase two of behavior control because she just couldn't get it together. And then... she did. :) Last week she got all of her signatures plus scored 5s in every category every day!!!! Her attitude has been excellent, she goes over and above to be helpful and serve the other girls. She is caring well for her son and spending time with him. She is changing! So we celebrated.
And the coolest part is that the other girls were excited for her! They congratulated her and made it a big deal... I love that :)
In other successful news... I have GREAT news! We officially reached our matching grant!!!!!!! I am stunned. It has been less than 2 months since I posted that we needed $10,000 and God has provided it through YOU! So... thank you just doesn't even seem like anough. I think I will settle to say that God must get all the glory because only He who owns the cattle on a thousand hills and all the money in the world could have provided so quickly!
We still need monthly donors, but for now we are just celebrating God's provision!
