Ignorance

I have been fired up all afternoon because of a few people in my hometown who are making a big deal on FB about something they don't have all the facts on. It makes me incredibly irritated when people start talking about something and they don't have all the facts, because then all they do is stir up stuff and get other people all fired up over nothing. This is one thing that makes me HATE social networking. If you have a problem with something or someone, go talk to that person or do some research before you post it all over the internet. Seriously, people.

OK, that's enough about that. School has been going on for two weeks now and my office is a wreck! It will take some time to get things settled, but I'm loving every minute of it so far. God is so good! Seth and I also bought a new car last week! It's a 2012 Ford Fusion and we love it! My car, Sally, had to go. Too many problems and we never knew if she was gonna start right or not. So we traded her in and couldn't be happier. It was our first "big" purchase as a married couple. How fun!

That's about all that going on in my own little world right now. Hope this finds you healthy and happy!

Whew!

First off, I cannot believe I didn't post AT ALL during the month of July. Just goes to show how incredibly insane this summer has been. There has been loss and grieving, excitement and joy, transitions and changes in every aspect of our lives. I have already shared with you the sad news of Seth's Granny's passing, and a few weeks later we were celebrating God's blessing of provision in our lives with a new job for me! This was not something on my radar, and to be honest, God had me in a place where I knew He was going to show up to provide. I believe the Lord does this because the second we think we can do things on our own we are wrong! Life is soooo much more abundant when God provides and is in control. So I was presented with a job opportunity by my mother-in-law (who is awesome and one of the most Godly women I know) because she had been praying for me over the last few months and had this particular job on her mind for some reason. She didn't know of any openings, but she kept praying. Then another amazing Godly women, our friend Ruth, came to her saying that this job had come open at Southern Elementary (which is 30 seconds form our house) and that she thinks I would be great at it! So of course Becky came to me to tell me about it, and although I had not been planning on that, I strongly felt that this was the Lord's provision, and it was a job I could potentially love and enjoy, not to mention be used to minister. So I applied for the job, and we waited and prayed. For almost a month. Finally I got a call for an interview, went in and found out that 38 other people had applied and that they were doing 10 interviews that day to be narrowed down to 3 or 4. The next day I got a call back for a 2nd interview, and went in for that the next night. When I left that interview I had the most amazing peace I have ever experienced. I knew God was in control and was not nervous about the situation at all. 3 hours later, I was offered the position and the rest is history! I am so thrilled to be the Family Resource Coordinator at Southern Elementary School, and have loved every minute of my job so far. The staff is AMAZING, and it just fits. I couldn't be happier. God is sooo good and His provision is perfect. His love is perfect. He is perfect.
