A Job for Me?

So I went and applied for the job. It went easy enough, despite that I had to take a math test with all four of my kids climbing over me. I am thinking that unless they have hundreds of people applying, I just might get the substitute job I am looking for. Now I am leary about it - mostly leary about having to leave my youngest kiddos. I never really wanted to work until they were in school, but as I stated earlier maybe this is what I am supposed to do to get my foot in the door. Maybe. I guess we will see.

Greg had 2 interviews - the first he was ready to leave as soon as he got there, as it reminded him of another place he had worked. He tried to be arrogant in what he was saying and it ended him up being more liked than disliked. Oops. The second one went great until the second to last question, which was how he was in Excel. Well, they found his weak spot. But I told him that this was good, because he was able to speak to his weakness and then go and focus on it. He is signing up to take an Excel class, and has started an Excel tutorial. I think he will do great in it.

Scott and his family and Steve all came down tonight and we all had a big family dinner for Grandpa's birthday. 17 of us and 1 in the hopper (Katie), and Carolyn and Shelbi showed up. After dinner we went out to the pool and the "games" began. Us big kids played a few weird ball and jumping games, then moved onto the tubing raft that had its cover peeled off. I know that none of this makes sense to you, but I will read this and smile. We also finally had our nighttime swim - with the color changing lights. The kids love that - I do to. About 9:45 we came in, showered, played dominoes and had malts.

At one point tonight, Grace came up to me with Grandma's IPOD in her hands. She said to me: "Mom, I was just listening to some worship music and was praising the Lord. Listening to this music really reminds me of how much I love the Lord. I am glad I am at Grandma and Grandpa's house." Oh, how this makes a mom's heart swell. I am so proud of her and so in love with HER Lord. Thank you Lord.

I never would choose to be without a job, but I am honestly excited to see where God is leading us! This is such an uncertain time, but I know that God has an amazing plan in store for us and He loves us so much and can't wait to show us. I know. I can't wait for Him to show us either, but I will. Wait, that is.....for His time.
