Yesterday, what a day!

The day started out normal enough.  Got the kids up for school and stayed on their cases until it was time to get out the door for the bus stop.  Running a little late and not paying attention I hit a pothole with my front passenger tire, OF COURSE the one that needed changing so it was weak!  So I have a blown tire now.  We will be spending a little more money this week than I thought.

On another topic, my youngest daughter is so funny.  This week she comes to me to ask "Mommy, did I loose a tooth?"  Seems she lost a tooth wither when she was sleeping or eating and never noticed.  This is now 2 teeth lose and neither one has made it to the Tooth Fairy LOL  She wrote a letter to the to the Tooth Fairy in place of it, see what you think...

LOL  she has quite a way with words!

On the job front still no news.  Looks like the Middle East is really getting worse so I am not sure if that area is going to work out.  But a friend shared a message with me yesterday that is really helping me now.  She reminded me to wait on God, we have done what we can and the rest is up to God.  I am going to have to remind myself of this several times a day but so far it is working.  I feel peace that things will happen as they should.  We will go where He wants or stay if he chooses.  

Waiting and Praying...

It seems as though we have been in limbo for ages.  For years I thought our path in life was set and there would not be many big changes.  This past year has proven me wrong.  My husband left a job of 13 years for what we felt was a better opportunity, only to be laid off when work slowed after 3 months!  Since then we have been talking to several companies and hoped that he had finally found the perfect position for his happiness and future.  Now with the turmoil in Egypt and no word on the position I am having some doubts and really don't know what to think.  He is happier now that he has left old company but has mentioned maybe going back and this scares me.  I don't want my husband to be unhappy and am afraid that he would be there.  BUT this being unemployed is scary as well.  I am telling him to hold off a little longer to see if the informal offer that was made a week ago comes though.  yes it has only been a week but it feels like a year!  Only God knows what is ahead for our future and I have to learn to have more faith.  I was telling my mom that I have faith in what God CAN do but wonder what he WILL do.  That has always been a quandary in my head that I have struggled with.  Is it a lack of faith or patience that I have?  God does what is best for us but sometimes it takes us a long time to see how the path got us to the right place.  I have to remember the prayer:

Lord help me accept the things I can not change
Change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.
