WhirlWind Summer....
Well... what a summer... didn't we just begin this time of year....?
Updates:
My mom went back to school this week. She still has a limp and we found out that she has a clipped nerve in her leg that is giving her some pain that is mobility limiting and limited movement still. She had an MRI done last week and will go back tomorrow to get the results and find out that they need to do from there. Her syatic nerve is being pinched too... what a bummer....My Dad is run fast and furious as usual and never seem to slow down at work. As a private contractor and one of the most hard working/persnickity men I know, he really runs down fast..... through in older eelments and he is a mess....My in laws are hanging in there. My dad in law has been having health issues that seem to never go away...however he never tells anyone anything until it is really bad...we have to watch him like a hawk. My mom in law is a guru in the worry and fret department but just keeps on keeping on... Leave it to parents to just amaze you in life...
My sis and Bro in law are well. Coaching family that is always hopping... Caleb is now about 8 months and such a cool cat.. My sis-n-law and bro-n-law will be officially married 1 yr in August 15th... Wow... it has been trying for them in many ways... but they are learning....
On to us--- My spouse is gearing up for the fall sports as a side coach. His passion is teaching but has gotten ropped into coaching each year. I now know why... he said that he wants to qualify for the Boston Marathon soon... He coaches the running sports and can run with the best of them... the old man can out run most of the younglings... it is fun to hear the stories... The kids are growing like weeds. My youngest has taken on growing and playing as his goal in life. He is about 3" shy of this sibling who is 3 yrs older and petite. Did i mention that he will be 5 this year?? Wow how they grow. My eldest is looking forward to school and learning to write in cursive. She is reading on a 5th grade level right now and is loving it. Needless to say, she is ready for the social affair of school, too. As for me----
I'M NO LONGER IN LIMBO LAND...
I start my new job come August 30th. It is still federal and the same benefits and all that I have now. This job however allows me to be with my family 7 days of the week, and spend less in gas, mileage, and time in the car. I still will have to commute (which is impossible not too where we reside for a good paying job) but it will be shorter and closer to home than the one I have right now. Did I mention it will be higher pay too...? I qualified because of my training from my military days...The Lord planted the seed and watered the idea the whole time... It is not because of my desire or wants or goals, but because of God. I will forever claim this job opporunity and change as a way to give and bring God glory.
I am excited but a little nervous which is normal for such a change. To go from sitting behind a desk in a/c to standing all day with little to no a/c will be quit an adjustment.... I will also be the only female in the team...which is nothing new for me... but might be for those I will be working with... :)I know that I can do it because I can do all things through Christ whom gives me strength....
BTW: Usually when this time of year comes around the temps are suppose to start decreasing right... not were I am... we have had a very mid summer but it is making up for it now.... I sure hope it gets cooler soon since I will be in it very soon... I know that I will shape up from the heat this way too... yeah!!!
So until next time, God Bless and claim it in the name of the Lord...
****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.) ****
