Psalm 119:30 I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.

Psalm 119:29 Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me through your law.

Psalm 119:31 I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD; do not let me be put to shame.

Deuteronomy 11:22 & 23 
Faithfully obey all these commands I'm giving you. Love the LORD your God, follow all his directions, and be loyal to him.  Then the LORD will force all these people out of your way. Then you will take possession of [the land belonging to] people taller and stronger than you.

The last several years a great # of daycare providers have jumped into the night-time care business.  At the same time, more grandparents have stepped up to the plate and offered daycare for their off-spring, even if only part-time.  Between these 2 things, my evening shift has suffered.  I never understood that I needed to fight the spiritual battle to hold onto what was mine.  It's time that I do battle to take my nights back.  I have provided daycare for 26 years.  No one is more experienced than I am and no one is more safe.  I love my charges.  But I am not cheap.  I am not the most expensive either.  My nights are picking up and it's only going to get better from here on out.
