This and That

    Hello, all! It's been a while since I've been able to update, but we are doing great. We are actually getting settled in our new house. We moved, again? Yes, this time just down the road from where we were living. Try explaining this to the bank, post office, and others who ask. Needless to say it was a very weird move. However, the reasons behind the move were wonderful. A month ago the lady that helps manage our houses that we live in came approached Cody about possibly being the maintenance man for StoneRidge Homes. Well, when Cody first told me this, I was very skeptical. I married Cody for many reasons, all of which had nothing to do with being a maintenance man kind of person. Don't get me wrong, he CAN do just about anything he wants (he's too smart), but it's just a matter of actually doing it. So, as the story goes Cody and I talked about it and decided that maintenace man and opening the office for 2 hours on M, T, TH, F which is all the job entails in exchange for rent would be a great deal. We don't have to pay rent! This has been such a blessing. We are praying that we can get Cody a cheap vehicle with the extra money from not paying rent.
    So, here we are, toward the end of August, moved in (still putting things away), and enjoying starting school with the youth at the church. Noah's school books have been ordered from Alpha Omega and we're using the Horizons Curriculum. It is so bright and beautiful, plus it seems to have all of the basic curriculum steps we want for him during his Pre-K year. It is so hard to believe that my little red haired boy who was only 5lbs 3 oz. is growing up. It hit Cody that next year at this time they will be 2 1/2, 4, and 5 1/2. Somedays I don't think I can go on, and I want to just give up, go back to work, and send the kids to someone else who I think might have more patience, but that's not really what I want for my children. My job is to Raise them, not until they get in Kindergarten, 3rd grade, or jr high, but for life.
    Lord, please help me to be the Titus 2 woman that desires to lead her children into a  life of submission for you. May you help them to grow into the adults that you want them to be. Maybe into a preacher, evangelist, missionary, whatever you desire for your honor and glory.
