Mar. 27, 2006 - Houston, We Have A Driver
My 15 yodd has a driver's license! Yep, she got her license last Thursday.
This little lady worked and saved her money and paid for her driver's ed
class. The class is $360 and she paid for $260 of it. After she passed the
test, she paid for her license. I'm so proud of her.
Saturday, after she got off work, I took her to pick up her car at daddy's
job (we've had it for a little over a year, but it needed work). She still
cant drive it yet as its a standard adn she needs more practice.
Today she paid the light bill (loaned me the money! ROFLOL) went to the Naval
Hospital and got her allergy shots, picked up her contacts AND put gas in the
car. Get this, using HER OWN MONEY!!!!!
Yall, I'm so proud of my little girl. Can you tell?
On to other news. I went to a subdivision thats 2 minutes from my front door
yesterday morning to check out the little deli market they have. DJ had been
telling me about it for ever and they finally opened it up. Anyway, I went to
see what foods they served so I could pick up breakfast. I got to talking and
get this...I got a job. Part time, two days a week, any day thats convienent
for me. The kids are MORE than welcome to come and sit and DJ can do his
school work with me. He can do the work thats easy for him at home, do his
chores, then walk to my job and hang out with me or play with his friends.
These sweet ladies are in LOVE with my children.
Ayrissa can now drive herself to school and work!!!!!! I may NEVER have to
leave home again....I'm about to cry!
I am so thankful.
Did I mention that I can bake my cakes and pies and sell them at the deli? I
work from 6am to 2pm and I just loved today.
Oh, one more thing. As I'm just getting the swing of things, dd runs up
to the store cause she couldnt get me on my cell phone, to tell me that ds's
friend was coming to pick him up to go to the Holy Land in Florida. I thought
it was NEXT week. So, they let me run home and get him packed. My sweet
daughter went to the credit union and withdrew money for him to take. If I had
worked "outside" the home somewhere else, I would have messed my ds's week up.
Thank you Sweet Jesus for blessing me this way!
So, ds is on his way to Florida and dd and Ginger just got home. I think
I'm just going to sit back and soak it all in...

I am sending out a "mass apology" to everyone I told about "The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge". I have received some comments in regard to leaving the button on people's blogs and I feel the best way to make sure there aren't others who are offended, is to apologize to those I sent the notice to.
I feel just horrible that some thought I was "advertising" in some way when my intention was to share with other homeschoolers what I was offering as encouragement and a way for us to join together.
If you are one who was upset by my post, please feel free to delete it and email me or leave a comment on my page and I will personally apologize. To those who have joined in The Challenge, I'm so looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us and hope we will all be able to bless our families and grow in the Lord through it! Thank you most importantly for seeing my heart. I never meant to disregard anyone's post when I left the comment about the Challenge, and want you all to know that anything you ever have to say to me, whether on topic or not, is more than welcome on my blog. I will also be making a new category on my blog that will list those of you who don't mind getting urgent prayer requests or information from time to time. I hope this way I will be able to avoid upsetting anyone similarly in the future.
Thanks for allowing me to comment on your blog. I hope you will accept my apology (and not be upset that I'm "off topic" from your post, but I have many people to get to still tonight).
In Him,
Amy Verlennich
(How are you doing by the way?)
