New October

October 6, 2008

Tee hee!  Last post - end of August – where did September go???  It was an amazing month! The boys and I have had so much fun.  School has really gone well, and we have gone to the Botanical Conservatory, Art out of the Box at the “Libe” – as Cooper calls it, Bowling at Crazy Pins, two Book Discussions, Pokagon Field Trip and started a First Lego League club.  WOW- plus we got our reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic too!

 What amazes me most, is the PEACE beyond all human understanding that God has given me.  Steve was promoted from Office Manager to Trainmaster, and the next day his boss was let go.  No boss, no boss to hire an office manager – and still a Trainmaster job to get done.  He has worked about 100 hours a week – how I wish he were payed hourly – but no.   Here is where the PEACE comes in – I have not felt overwhelmed, or on the ledge or ready to tear my hair out.  (ok, a few times when my “quiet” grocery time was shared with two little boys i did get a little testy), but by far and large I have felt peace.  Thank you, Lord, I know that it is truly a gift from You :-)

Did I add that we are in a new small group doing an INCREDIBLE “Choose the Life” study, plus we have started Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University? 

I think I know where September went ….and why I haven’t had a minute to blog :-)   Life is Good – God is AWESOME!
