Long hard day~

It was a hard day today~  I suppose I had my idea of what was best for us and God had another...it can be difficult wanting something so much and not getting it.  In this instance it was a home...but I know that God will provide...although I have to admit I have a world of questions swirling around in my head.  I start work at the church on Wednesday morning and work again that night and Thursday....and along with the speaking and writing; it looks like I will also be working at the Gap....so the Lord is definitely providing!  Now we simply need a place to live~  I cooked a big dinner on Sunday night at my parents house and everyone really seemed to enjoy it~ especially Austie...he had three plates!  Growing teenage boy! ha ha  God is giving me the strength to get through each day as I keep continually busy.  I just have to continue packing but that is on hold until I finish writing my ebooks and finish speaking online on Friday night.  If any of you ladies want to come on by and have a listen I will be speaking at the Ultimate Homeschool Fall Expo~  You can find the website on Facebook.  It is not just for homeschoolers as the many speakers are talking about keeping Christ in the holidays.  Something that I think is so important for everyone~  as we can get so caught up in getting presents and the rush of the season.  I have always tried since the kids were little to help them remember that it is not about the getting but the giving and remembering who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us~

Yea, for the jobs....
You're so right about teaching children to give rather than receive....and keeping Christ in Christmas.......I feel almost sick when I see so many decorations for Christmas; especially when so many people are hungry and living on the edge.

I'm praying for your strength and a home for you and your family1
God will provide....
Love,
