Update anyone? Why does it feel like its been way longer than a few days?

So many ups and downs lately, I wish I could share them all with you! In due time, I am sure...

Some highlights~
  2 interviews this past week for David. As many of you know we have been praying for more/different work for David for some time. Let's just say its been like walking through dry and barren land for too long it seems.  1st one was Thursday for a custodial position in a school district - FT, including benefits, decent pay. 2nd one was earlier today for a PT delivery driver position for at one of the Round Table's here in town.
  Results? He didn't get the school district position but they called today for a similar position in the same district. Interview is next Thursday afternoon. Prayers continued please!
Interview 2 - he got the job on the spot! We are so stoked for him. We are hoping his current boss will let him work it in for the meantime as we can use any extra at this point to start gaining ground again. I am so thrilled for him and he looks so relieved. He keeps mentioning the word "tips." LOL

Prayer Warriors (& even those of you who just love to pray), please continue to pray for guidance and wisdom and income/job matters as God leads us forward.

Now, on to a completely separate note~
  I have been learning the "ins & outs" of simple marinades (esp. lower sodium) to help my meats taste better and stay healthy. I am learning on the fly and enjoying every little victory (esp. these tasty ones). It is quite freeing and rejuvenating for me. (I am even learning some how to cook steaks.)

My kids~
  Joy has stayed well for some time again. Micah has a stuffy nose but overall doing pretty well. As many of you know, our winter-early spring was exhausting as both the kids and David repeatedly caught big after bug and I was losing a lot of sleep. Micah keeps smiling and hardly shows his bugs but we always welcome prayer for the bugs to stay far, far away.

We are looking forward to finalizing summer plans as soon as a few more things get ironed out.  Joy could very easily end up at 2 VBS' and a mini dance production camp. We are very excited about these for her.

Overall, I see God working quite intimately in our family 
these days. He is showing Himself in such 
real ways, I just cannot lost hope!

To All of You who "Dare" to read~
Remember God does not ignore any of us or are desires. He often works in ways we don't understand. What is important is to continually Trust in Him and  Have Faith! Seek Him! It is definitely not easy so many days BUT I can tell you from very personal experience, it is Definitely worth it!

And... For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39, NIV)
                                  
                                    That's All For Now,
