Celebrate the HEROES in your life....

Hello everyone! Hope you are celebrating any war heroes that are in your family today or thinking of the memories of ones who have come before you and fought for your freedom to just be.....

I remember growing up in IOWA......on this holiday we would take our half gallon milk cartons and cut the tops off, fill them 1/4 of the way with sand and water, and then cut many of the peonies from our yard and fill them in the cartons, then off to the cemetaries we would go in search of our relatives and leave the cartons at the graves.

It's funny what you remember....that was always so important to my grandmother, who I lived with most of my life. Marnie always had a way to make things like going to the cemetary so neat and important. I miss her.....but she's in heaven looking after us....with God.

John has an interview at a local Bible college tomorrow. I'm praying for good results. Now I need to find something....God will provide if we are to stay here.

Keep praying for us.

being jobless.....

well all, we are officially jobless. Now the good thing is that we get paid thru the end of July....the bad thing is....we don't have jobs yet but we know that we serve an All-Mighty, All-knowing and All-powerful God who has our lives totally in HIS control.

But don't you think that sometimes it would be totally cool for Him to tell us though??? Today was officially our last day at school, so leaving my friends was not very fun. John's day would be much tougher....he had to tell his volleyball girls today. He told them at practice and then they were to have a team dinner, which John actually said went much better than expected and they responded better than he thought they would. John handled it quite well, but I know deep down he's quite emotional about it.

Now, God does have some plans though.....John has an interview for a college position at a local Bible college for the Financial Aide Director position that is open there. It would be ok, not great $$ though, but at least get him started in a college position, which is totally why he got his Doctorate in the first place! I, on the other hand, have had several interviews, but have come up short on all occasions. We'll see what happens with me.....I can only think that means that God has something bigger and better than the two or three that I thought I REALLY wanted! Ok, God....sign me up! I'm all for bigger and better!

PRAY for us as we seek God's plan for our lives. We do have an interview in Albany, GA next weekend.....HS counselor for John and 1st grade for me. Not that we want to move or anything, but we do need jobs. We'll see where the doors are open and see if God puts the puzzle pieces together for us.

Feeling somewhat emotional, so I'll sign off for now!

Love to all!

I'm here....really

Hello there friends and family who ck this blog only to find that I haven't written in a month.....but I'm here again. I'm terribly sorry for the over sight, but I have been extremely busy keeping up with all of my grading and such this last six weeks of school. Plus, since we are on the job hunt again, I've been filling out apps and sending out resumes' and going on interviews, which makes one extremely tired. PLUS, it is Stanley Cup Hockey season and my team, The Detroit Red Wings are still playing, so I've been watching that as well. Oh, and JEB has had two rounds of strep throat and now is going thru his third antibiotic with a sinus infection!! YIPPEE!!

I promise that I will seriously try to keep up with writing something down every couple of days....to keep up with Mackenzie!

Love to you all,
