Walking this road . . .
Last night four of our children, our “teenagers”, went to a friends with other homeschool teenage kids. We know the family hosting the party well. But, it was hard seeing just four of them going, and Matthew would have loved it. They sat around a bonfire and were asked to give a “highlight” of their summer. Our girls said they couldn’t think of anything to say. We understand. It was a survival summer.
Thursday I had the privilege of spending the day with a good friend, Kris, who is due in a month with her third child. This friend, was a girl I use to live with, and babysat HER and her siblings! Her mom and I were good friends. Her mom died 2 years ago. Now, Kris has become like a younger sister to me. She is 36 weeks pregnant, but is having a lot of contractions and on total bedrest, with an almost 3 year old girl and 1 ½ year old boy running around! So I brought one of my older girls to help run after them, and one of my younger girls to play with them. We had a nice time just talking and sharing. It’s a blessing for me how our friendship has developed. She has gone early with her other babies. Her last pregnancy she was actually pregnant with twins, and lost one, so this pregnancy is a little more stressful. So as you are reading this, if you can pray for Kris and the new little blessing, Caleb, I know it will encourage and strengthen them.
Norm had an interview Friday afternoon at a local tool & die. We are both totally open to God entirely leading this – be it an open or closed door. It is through a staffing agency, and he’s been told it’s only a “temporary job” with a slight possibility it going permanent. He did interview at the job site today for almost 2 hours. The good thing about it is it is less than a 10 minute drive from our home. The hard part is, it could be lots of hours, and being we have learned to live on a lot less, Norm does not want to get into something where he is away from the family so much. It’s also second shift, which is what our family is use to. The other thing is, this job is starting about the same time he took a job last year that was temporary, which was when Matthew died. Thankfully, it’s a completely different place, different direction to drive. So, I think either way it goes, we will be fine with it, though they have told him it will probably be two – three weeks before a decision is made.
