Surprise - I am updating my blog!

You know it is time to update your blog when your husband and teenage daughter ask you when you are going to post something new and start giving you ideas of what you can blog about!

My contract job kept me extremely busy during January and February.......at times I didn't feel I even had time to breathe, therefore the blog was neglected.

My contract job ended last Tuesday so I am living in the land of limbo, again. Pat and I are praying for God's direction in the area of my employment and are asking Him to make His plan for us so absolutely, unmistakeably known. I am in the process of interviewing for a really cool job that a new friend from church told me about at her company. If this job is what God has in store for me it will work out and if it is not then it won't. There are a lot of people looking for work and many that absolutely need to have a job. We need me to work (daughter 2 years from going to college & a few months away from driving, health ins, etc.) but we know God will provide if I am not working. Anyway, I am not a huge fan of living in limbo - it makes the planner in me antsy and uneasy. If I will be going back to work soon there are many things I want to do with my time. If I will be staying home there are several things I would like to commit to doing that I will not be able to if I am working.

I would love for you all to pray specifically that God's will for my employment or lack of it will be abundently clear, that Pat & I will keep our eyes open for God's will, for patience and for us to accept His will with a happy heart!

For now I will savor every minute I have to spend at home with Landry during the day and being home when Matthew and Nicole get home from school. They are growing up way too fast for my liking!

I would like to ask everyone to lift up my sister, Kim, and her family in prayer. They brought sweet baby Tess home from the hospital Sunday afternoon and a few short hours later the birth mother changed her mind. My heart is broken for Kim and Micah. I am having a hard time understanding why we got our miracle with Landry while Kim has endured so much pain. We have total faith in God and know He has something huge in store for them but at the same time it just hurts my heart.
