This year has seemed to be a doozy. We moved back into home land and are enjoying being near family. My Papaw went to be with the Lord and now we are over a year later and watching how brave my grandmother has been. I took a part time job waitressing and had to memorize the menu and ingredients to simply write from memory on the paper. (did I mention that tests have always terrified me.) My husband asked me to consider working full time as a counselor in school or something like that...{freaking Out!! What is God doing?) complete overwhelming feeling but able to trust in God's direction. Took a Praxis 2 exam (scarey stuff) and actually passed!! Can you see God stretching me here? Did I mention that I am terrified of tests? I had worked 8 months as a part time waitress and was growing weary of it. However, God used it to humble me and grow me as well as let me form friendships and see the nature of the world outside my little views indoors. Then, God opened a door for me to apply to be a part-time Very flexible children's director....I got it!! So, because of my background the Lord Blessed me by letting my part time job be enough to help us and me not have to work full time. Hubby threw another surprise by asking me to consider a part time school for the kids. It is very unique...kids go to school two days and you homeschool the rest. Please pray for us in these transitions. So much change and learning going on for me. Due to changes and excuses that I should not make, I have been failing in daily Bible study. I am a hit and misser. I don't like it at all. Praying for God to make me hunger and thirst and make it a priority. Hard to admit my failing but it is true and must change....I need His wisdom and it is a paradox to think I can minister and do life without seeking it every day. My kids are such troopers and the joy of my life even though I fail them so much. They are the sweetest blessings!! My husband's job has gone well. I still wonder what God has planned in his direction and if he will be back in full time ministry anytime in the near future. For now I am very happy and content with his job not in a church and I believe he is too. A time to rest, renue, review and refocus. Don't I sound like a preacher with all the r words. LOL Okay, for not writing for so long that is a lot of updates. If I have written about these things prior please forgive the repetition. |
