Today was an awesome day!! We were able to help with our first action project as a church and fill bookbags with school supplies for needy students in the area. It was lots of fun and the kids really enjoyed it. The rest of the day were able to relax and spend some much needed time together as a family. We haven’t had mexican (one of our staples) since we’ve been here, so we decided to check out Jalepeno’s. It was really good by the way! We topped it off with some DQ and then came home to watch Alabama stomp on UGA…ROLL TIDE!! I also got to take a nice long relaxing hot bath. Don’t think I’ve felt this good and relaxed since we moved here:)
RNR September 25, 2008
I was able to receive some good RNR today! I had a doctor’s appoinment this morning so I just took the whole day off. By the way, they are almost positive that it is another girl so Bo will be blessed with a third sister, Lucy. Justin’s first comment was “three weddings!”:)-
I also met Justin for lunch…that was nice, we haven’t had any time alone in a while. I am so proud of him…I know that he is extra stressed about our finances (he has always been the money worrier) and then I have been making his life miserable, but he has stayed strong through it all.
Speaking of finances, be praying because our realtors have another couple who are interested in doing a lease/purchase on our house. This is not the ideal situation for us, but it will keep up from having to still make a house payment every month! Hopefully, they will come through!
No updates on my job dilemma yet…please keep praying that God would open and close the right doors, and that I would keep my faith in Him to do that! Thank you everyone for the supportive comments on here and Facebook. Your prayers and encouragement have meant so much!! All of this turmoil only confirms one thing for me…that God has some major plans for us and Satan can’t stand it!!
Update September 20, 2008
I think that I might have a “light at the end of the tunnel” for my job situation. I don’t want to go into specifics on here, until it’s final…some of you know, if you don’t, feel free to email or Facebook me and I will go into more detail. Please continue to pray that this is the out that I have been praying for and that God would totally cover this situation. I have to admit, I was starting to think that my prayers were not being heard and for some reason God wanted me to be miserable (I knew in my mind this wasn’t the case, but you know how girls and emotions are!!) Please also continue to pray for our family…this has taken a huge toll on them because I am such a wreck!!
Not sure what to title this…we just need your prayers!! September 10, 2008
God is definitely ready to do His work here in Savannah. I know this because my family is being attacked by Satan in every way imaginable!! It all started with the cock roaches on steroids (as Justin lovingly refers to them) invading our house. If you didn’t read my last blog, I am absolutely miserable at my job…and it just keeps getting worse and worse!! This morning my car wouldn’t start, which is going to cost us money we don’t have, I had the worst day yet at work, our dog decided to mess in his kennel and roll around in it, and our family is just at odds with eachother. Justin and I seem to do nothing but fight and the kids are either acting really silly or they are fussy…we are all just plain tired!! Justin’s severance money is also starting to dwindle because neither one of us has gotten paid yet. Our house still has not sold and our realtors are truly dragging their feet in trying to get it sold. I know that God called us to come here, but right now we are even starting to doubt that, that maybe we were wrong, just because of all of the bad things that are happening. Please pray for us…especially for my job situation, I am just at a loss as to what to do. I know for sure that I cannot go on all year long like this…
Struggling September 5, 2008
I have really had not inspiration to blog lately. I need your prayers heavily because Satan is really attacking me through my job. I am absolutely miserable and I hate it because teaching has always been a passion and calling for me…there has never been a time when I just abosolutely did not want to go to work, until now. I just don’t understand why God would put me somewhere that makes me so miserable, and I am afraid of turning into one of those “bitter, has-been” teachers (you all have probably experienced one of these in the past!!) I am just really beat down and torn up about it.
On a side note…today is Justin’s birthday. I am so thankful for him and for the way he has stepped up to lead our family. He has been a rock for us, especially through all of this change, and I have and continue to witness God working in his life…I know that He has great plans for Justin, and I am so glad to be a part of them!! Justin, thank you for being such a wonderful husband and father. You have been so patient and supportive for all of us!! I love you…happy birthday!!:)
