Jobs!!!

Jobs!! Everyone needs one, especially at our house. Anna finally got a job at Lowe's working in the garden center, she is watering flowers and other things. It's a seasonal position but could turn into more. She's happy but does say it's a little boring. She is really enjoying seeing so many people, we get a daily update of who was in the garden center.

Austin got a job for the summer. He'll be working at Camp Currie on Kentucky Lake near Benton Kentucky. It is a sportsmans camp sponsored by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Resource. They do archery, survival skills, hunting and fishing etc. It should be right up his alley. The only down side is that he won't really be home this summer, just on the weekends. Proud of his for finding it, we had a friend who thought he could get him a factory job here but the hours were going to be terrible, he really didn't want to do it. So we told him that he could find his own options but it had to be a real job, and he did.

Austin will be home in 10 days for a week before he starts training.

My Daddy

Rejoice with my family. My Daddy was appointed an elder yesterday!!

My father was no "raised in the church" but became a Christian when I was baby. So glad my mother wasn't so judgmental that she wouldn't marry a non-Christian. He's been faithfully servicing God for close to 50 years. I love him.

    Good news. The church needs faithful shepherds.

Still struggling with my new stage (will not so new anymore) in life. I covet your prayers. Can't seen to find my place.

    I remember when my firstborn went off to college. It always felt like he would be home soon, and since he wasn't, our family felt incomplete all the time. Time helped, and he was good to email and let us know how college was going. I'm sure you were just adjusting, and then having him home for awhile sort of renewed the loss you feel. It just hurts to have your heart in so many places! May God give you peace of mind and the realization that where you are is where He wants you to be.

Spring Break

My Austin is home for spring break this week. Lots of home cooking this week. He's relaxing, job hunting for this summer (very promising prospect through a fellow Christian), spending time with family and friends, texting, computering. You know all the stuff college age people do these days!! Later this week he's headed to Alabama to visit his "friend" named Whitney. It's so different having a "grown" children.

    Enjoy that boy!
