Big Time Update..

I'm back! :)

Here is what has been going on in my life:

In late September I started a class through Love & Respect Ministries. I heard of the class through a friend who got married in the Spring and I was really excited when she told me about it. I strongly believe my marriage is of utmost priority and worth every minute of investing in... as a Christian, I view marriage as a reflection of the relationship of Jesus Christ and the Church. It's the most important earthly relationship that I will ever have -- Now that's something to invest in! (and be knowledgeable about) So I just couldn't pass it up. I am sure glad that I didn't because I am learning so much!

A couple weeks ago, I gave Lisa (our fearless leader) a prayer request card where I shared that I have been in the "wilderness" with my job for the last few months and in a praying/waiting season for direction from the Lord about it.

The very next morning I received an e-mail from my friend, Erin, who had a friend who had a neighbor looking for a nanny! (how about that crazy connection?) I guess I should mention that I had been looking on & off for a nanny job over the past few months. But it really had to be the perfect situation to leave a full time job.

Well - this did turn out to be the PERFECT situation. And I start tomorrow! The family is super great.. I'll be taking care of twin girls who are almost 2 years old. Their names are Emily & Anna. :) It's Monday - Thursday, 4 days a week (!!) and exactly what I was looking for! Jonathan & I are both really excited (he has met the family and the twins).

So, I am super excited and I feel really blessed. I see the Lord's work in this and I know its where He wants me. I had been praying about my job situation for a long time, but I guess I really just needed to give it to the Lord (on that prayer request card).
