Nov. 13, 2007 - What's Going On With Me
I have been here with Julie and her family in WV for a little over a week now and things are going very well! The kids were so excited to see me and it was so cute! The baby has gotten so big since I saw her last, but that is no surprise because babies grow! She is as adorable as ever! I do miss Wendy and my knitting has really slowed down quite a bit, but I still try to do a little each day if I can. There is one gal who has shown interest in learning to knit and I think I'm going to teach her so that will be fun! Maybe I will have a knitting friend here afterall! I didn't even try to convert her (I told Julie I am not one of those knitters), she just expressed an interest in learning. Really. She brought it up, not me. Seriously. ;) Lord willing, I will be starting my job doing respite care for a family with two special needs children next week. I think that this job will be a good experience for me and that the Lord will use it to stretch me. The family I'll be working for are believers which will be a blessing, too. Also, I should be starting the computer courses pretty soon. I am thankful that my job will be flexible enough that I can do the classes and the classes will be flexible enough for other things, too. Julie came up with a neat idea and I would really love to do it, Lord willing. She was thinking that as I learn skills at the computer classes I can then use it to tutor homeschooling families. It would really be a blessing to be able to that! We'll see where the Lord leads. I met a neat lady at church the other day. She is a knitter and a spinner (and a believer, too!) and she is involved in a homeschool co-op that just sounds SO NEAT! Anyway, they are going to do spinning classes starting in January and I can go! For free! FOR FREE! Oh, I hope I can go! It would be so fun to be able to go and I would also LOVE to get to know her and the people in her homescool co-op as well. Julie, at least one other woman, and I are going to be doing a book study and I am really looking forward to it. We are planning to read Calm My Anxious Heart: A Woman's Guide To Contentment by Linda Dillow. We're thinking we'll read a chapter a week and then meet on Fridays to discuss it. We plan to start on Nov. 30 and I am really looking forward to it! I think it will be a blessing for us all. Anyhow, that's just a little update on what's going on with me right now for the 3 or 4 people who read my blog!;) I really am so blessed to have been able to do all that I have done and to be doing what I am doing. I know that the Lord's hand has continually been upon me leading me and He is so worthy of far more praise that I give Him. P.S. Just so you know, I did actually type this out in paragraphs, but this computer is putting it all together for some reason. ARG! Whatever...

My mom's group studied that book last year and it was a wonderful study. I bought the book to read it again and again.

Julie and her family are so blessed to have you in their home. The Lord is surely providing special opportunities for you to both learn and serve. I am very happy for you.

It is always so nice when one finds people to work for who are believers. I think you could definitely do the tutoring thing. Last year I taught an English class to two homeschoolers, and it went really well. It's not so hard if you know your stuff. :-)
