Long time . . .

Well, I didn't intend to take a rest from blogging - but apparently that's what happened. I have thought of writing many times but just haven't done it. I will follow in the footsteps of one of my cousins and just give you some highlights.

1. I did get a job - it lasted for two months - which was good. I am excited for the group I was working with though - they have made a new agreement with a local church that I think will help them a lot. So, they had other things to tend to instead of the work I was doing.

2. My dream opportunity has arrived - it combines being trained in Christian Montessori, working with inner city kiddos, and a preschool (and maybe beyond) for my little guy. This really is a God thing because it brings together so many different things that I had pretty much given up on (or never thought would be affordable, convenient, fit with my family life, etc.). So it is all happening about 10 minutes from my house in one of the poorest communities in America! We'll see what happens next. They are looking at opening the school in September 09 - just about the right time for little man to start Montessori!

3. Then another hope is reborn. I am currently about 11 weeks pregnant - due in September!

Of course there are lots of other things going on - little guy is learning new words every day. Recently he has started helping me sing "God is so good". He also started repeating parts of the Lord's Prayer and our good night song with me. Which is a nice way to the end the day when you feel really tired and yucky in general. This pregnancy has been VERY different than the last one.

So I am not sure how this will all work out in the end since it seems that it is all happening at the same time. But I know that God is in the midst and I trust that He's seen it from the beginning to the end. I just need to take it one day at a time. Hopefully I'll update you more frequently than I have been!

Welcome back and congratulations! It sounds like it's been a busy couple of months for you. I am sorry you aren't feeling very good hopefully it will get better in the 2nd trimester. Glad things are all coming together for pre-school next year.

I am excited about all of your highlights. I wonder what God will do with the second one (your dream opportunity). Hooray for the third highlight!
