Sep. 13, 2009 - Starting and Finishing School

Well, my husband has finished his course of study.  He is now a certified Commercial Diver.  He has been home all of one week and we have sent out a dozen resumes to companies all over the North West and North East.  Relocating is highly likely but know that that may not be what God has in store for us.  There are a few companies in our area but it is mainly inland work which could take him away from us more than offshore work.  We are praying for clear direction from the Lord in this regard.  We are also praying for patience.  I found myself getting upset that it was taking so long...and it had only been a week.  I guess since he has been laid-off for almost a year (Oct. 16 will be one year), I am struggling to wait on the Lord.  We know that realistically it may not be until Spring until he gets a job.  Winter is usually down time for most companies in the Northern hemisphere.  I am struggling with accepting where we are right now and accepting life's circumstances, as they are.  God has and will continue to be faithful to us.  I know that He will direct us to the place He wants us...even if it is here in Wisconsin.  I wouldn't mind staying close to family and friends. 

On other news, we have begun our fifth year of homeschooling and this year reflects last with hubby doing the majority of the teaching.  He finds himself overwhelmed and many times, ill-prepared (welcome to parenthood and the problem of all home-school moms :) ).  He struggles with uncertainty, that he is doing enough, teaching enough - sounds familiar! Sweetheart started the fourth grade (boy, how time flies!) and Angel is in 1st grade.  Little Man is in preschool (at home) and enjoys coloring and learning.
