A Few Weeks Later

Wow! Times flies around here. Between school assignments, long work hours and family adventures, this blog has suffered from lack of attention.

Here are a few excerpts from the month of August:
  • My husband had a second bone scan; there's not been any growth of the cancer since the last scan in May of this year.
  • I have completed 19 credits of college since May of this year.
  • Our family enjoyed serving pastors and church leaders during The Leadership Summit sponsored by Canyonview Vineyard Church.
  • I worked more hours per week at my job than I have any other weeks during my four years of employment there.
  • During the Summit, I interviewed for another job which pays 1/2 again as much as the place of my current employment.
  • Starting the last week of August, I will be changing employment to go to the place at which I interviewed. = ) (Interesting fact: 25 hrs at the new job = 39 hrs at the old job.)
  • My daughter is ready to start schooling the last week of August.
  • My husband has met and will continue to meet with oncology docs in our town. It is possible that he will qualify for some trials re: the kind of cancer he has.
  • My middle son is working at a regular schedule and seems to be thriving.
  • I am sensing the Presence of God in all of this and find that I have these little "moments" with Him throughout the day.

There are many "thank you God" things happening, wouldn't you say? My daughter and I are working out a schedule between her schooling and my work. We're expecting a great school and work year.

25 Years Ago Today

Our firstborn was born 25 years ago today. He is away from home now but hopefully serving God still. He is learning more about what he's made of and how he can do more than he ever thought he could do. I know he's not perfect, but I'm proud like crazy of him. Happy birthday, son!
