Apprenticeship

Before K moved back into the house I told her she was going to have to work.  Too much free time at home always causes trouble :)  She is studying third and fourth grade at night school, but it just doesn´t quite keep her busy enough and I really want her to use this time to learn everything that she can that will help her when she moves out.  That being said, we decided Thursday was the day to go out hunting for a job or an internship or something.

K has a remarkable eye for sewing.  She can barely see and I don´t know how she can even thread a needle... but she does.  And then she makes pretty much anything that she wants to.  She sees a dress and then makes one with no pattern.  She took a pattern for a bag and changed it until it was something she liked better.  She hems pants and makes curtains and whatever else she puts her mind to... so the logical option was to find a place where she could learn to sew.

The first shop we went to is a sewing shop, but they also do designs and patterns.  I had never been there before, but as we walked in the owner immediately met me with a comment on how good God is to her by His grace.  Have you ever met someone that just gave off a feeling of peace and knowledge of God?  That is how I felt about this lady.  She listened intently while I talked about the home and K.  She agreed wholeheartedly that the Gospel is the most important thing.  And then she agreed to have K come and work with her.  Its an apprenticeship and she won´t get paid, but she will teach her everything that she can.  :)

To say that K is excited is an understatement.  She started this morning at 8am and I can´t wait to hear about her day!  Please pray that this will be as good of an opportunity as it seems and that she will make the most of it!  Pray for her to learn more about the Lord as a result of working with this lady and for her to show Christ as well through her attitude and actions.
