Big Steps......Big Faith......

i am sorry it has been such a long time since i have blogged. when david is gone i am so busy with the girls and the routine of life, that i am too tired to blog. i just want to sit in my blue recliner and veg. sometimes doing nothing at all is the best gift a busy mother can give to herself.

other times when david is home, i not only feel compelled to spend every moment with him, i want to spend every moment with him. the schedule seems to be 5-6 days gone, 5-7 days home. which is really not that bad. the adjustment is going better than i thought. i must preface this by saying that when we are up in dallas, he will be home much, much, more. some of those nights, he is staying up in dallas because he only has one day in between flights. when he stays up there, we save a lot of money on gas. but boy i so realized how much he does around everywhere for me. i have always known that, but it sure is evident now.

well it is time for big steps to be taken.i was talking to a teacher who moved here from houston, and she said i needed to start sending out applications and resumes now. wow. i wasn't quite ready for that, but here i go. i am going to starts sending resumes' and applications to various small districts around dallas. i know God will take care of things, but now as the time is drawing nearer, it has become ever more pressing on my mind. it all still seems so big.

i have not been in an interview in 10 years. and the last interview was with my 6th grade teacher. about all we talked about was how my parents were doing. i pulled out my professional portfolio and he was like put that up i have known you for 20+ years. then i went in to meet the kindergarten teacher i would be working with and we visited about school stuff for about 10 minutes and then we started talking about the blessings of God. she had been struggling with infertility for years and i was telling about Hannah and how she came to be. i don't really call that a true interview, do you?

i ask for your prayers about where i should apply. this not only affects me, but my precious girls. they have really thrived in a small school setting and i would hate to miss God. i really would prefer to teach in a 2AA or 3AAA school setting. i know He is big enough to find me, if i accidentally miss Him, but i so don't want to do that. wherever i teach, will also determine the area that we buy a house. it could also lead to where we go to church. i so don't want to stumble in the area of hearing his voice.

adventures in life always call for a large leap of faith. you know it is one thing to move with out children, it is quite another, when it involves children.

we are beginning to get the house ready for sale. we will put it on the market in march. this is the advice from our Realtor. we are definitely going to do some curb appeal to the house, along with some other areas inside the house itself.

BIG STEPS........ BIG FAITH.......

thank you for your prayers, i love you all so much,
