Hi again

After such an entry this morning, I must update with a day I really thought about going back to bed and just waiting for tomorrow to come for a fresh opportunity. I was crying to Little House on the Prairie this morning, the hormones were definitely getting the upper hand for a bit there. I was thinking this morning, wow, I really need to get a job soon. Thoughts and feelings, still very real just weren't allowed to overshadow my day, not because of me. After searching since Mid-may ( with a break for vacation in there) I received a job offer today (actually more than one). I accepted one for a school working full time with 4 year-olds in the morning and infants in the afternoon. It's not a care center, even the infants class has curriculum and must be educational. The kids starting at age 2 and adults all must wear uniforms. This opportunity God chose to provide both emotionally and financially. This will ensure the down payment on the house and help to furnish a larger dining room table (right now we have room for up to 4 over to our house, if we use the folding chairs and get really friendly at the table). What spoke to my heart the most was that this position I had really been excited about and God granted it to me. God has been teaching us to follow His plans, His dreams for us. Thank you everyone for the sweet help via job leads, encouragement and prayers. Tears sprung to my eyes for God agreeing with a want and I am very thankful for this blessing.

I spent the afternoon with Amy and got to see sweet Rachel as well:


Went to the gym where my sweet conversation with Liesl is the only thing that had me staying on the treadmill for 25 minutes. Ever since the medical treatments, girl time is really quite painful. I didn't realize how blessed I was before.

Then Billy and I had dinner with Amy & Nathan who are hosting some out of town friends Rachel and Chris with their beautiful children, Kylee and Collin from Tennessee. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Babe's!! I left with a full tummy which is rare for eating out. The manager very kindly came and told me everything that was in the food so I could make the decision on whether to eat it or not. I snapped the picture very quickly, it was past the children's bedtimes. They were very sweet none the less.


Today turned out to be a very good day filled with encouragement, friends and love. Goes to show I just can't give up on even a day, it all has to be given to God. I am seizing opportunities to have fun, being in the moment. I won't allow my life to feel as if it's on hold and that I won't be happy until things fall in to place. I read this morning after posting about Rachel and the life application section on lessons to learn from her life is that love is a gift to be received not something to be earned. I mess up daily in this walk and want the least amount of people to see the mistakes I make, but God does beautiful things with my messes.
