What a Week

What a week it has been. I started working and I love it! The people are great and the hours are great! I couldn't be more happy.

Even more exciting than work is that Josh and I are starting the process to become foster parents. We are so excited! I will keep you updated. Other than that not to much going on. My grandma turns 80 this weekend. A little girl I used to babysit for has an ice show (she ice skates) and we are going to that. Hopfully we will have time to see our best friends. Who knows.

Answered Prayers...Part 2

God is always working in my life and i often forget that. However this past week has been AWESOME! I went to regroup on wed. night last week and met a lot of super nice people. I was and am so excited about the relationships that are going to be cultivated there. That is a HUGE blesing in itself.

As you know I have not had a job since January and have been frantically looking for one over the past few months. I have tried every aspect of the Job world to no avail. It has been a difficults few months for josh and I going down to one paycheck (well his second job brought in a little money but not much). Josh recently decided to quit his second job to be able to attend regroup with me. We were worried about that drop in income again, but knew God would provide! And He has!

I met a girl at regroup last week and she called me this weekend (i still dont know how she got my number). She said that her mom was looking for someone to work with her company, and if i was interested. So after a few hpone calls and prayer, I have a interview today at one! I am soo thnkful and cant wait to see what else the Lord has planned for me.

Ps. I also met a lady at church on sunday who works for a company as a case manager for foster parents. She gave me a number to call about becomming forster parents! YEAH! God is realy at work in our lives!

Answered Prayers

Well tonight Josh and I are going to dinner with someone from ReGroup. ReGroup is the young adult group at our church. I have always wanted to go, but they meet on wed. nights and Josh works that night. I didn't want to go alone, not knowing anyone. Anyways, I got a phone call last night from a Lady from ReGroup who wanted to meet us for dinner. That way when I go on Wed. I will know someone. Very nice. It might be a little strange eating dinner with a complete stranger, but I am Pray that it will go well and a new friendship might be made. This is something we have bee praying for for a while now, and happy that the Lord answered prayers!

The weather is finally getting nice and the grass is turning green! YEAH. I feel like summer is so far away but I know it is comming soon.

Framends Forever...with a new addition

Well it is starting to sink in that my best friends are going to be parents. I cant help but be excited and worried. How is our friendship going to change? Is it going to change? SHe was my maid of honor and I was hers. He was Joshes best man and Josh was his. We are the 4 amigos and soon there will be a new member. I know that things are going to change, they have to. They now will have a ton of responibility and a child who will depend on them for every need. Crazy how things change. Dont get me wrong, i could not be more excited for them and happy, but I am scared. I know God is faithful and I am trying to put my faith in Him.

Baby??

Yes there is a baby on the way, but not for me. My very best friend is pregnant!!!!! Can you tell I am excited?!?! I dont even think excited is the word, actually, there is no work that can describe my feelings right now. Just amazed.

She is at least 20 weeks and is expecting in Aug sometime. I can not believe it. In november I had a dream that she was pregnant. I called her and she insisted that she wasnt. Later that month she missed her period and I told her to take a test, it came back negative. Not pregnant. As the months proceeded, she gained a little weight and started peing a lot. She pees a lot anyways so no one really thought anythingof it. On vacation she was say she had stomach pain and deided to make a doc. appointment. Around 9 i got the phone call and a text message of the sonogram picture!! Ahhh...then she told me how far a long she was and I was shocked. My dream was right. I am now 2 for 2, who will i dream about next?!?! haha

Needless to say her and her husbands family are thrilled and can wait to be aunts, uncles and grandparents. Its going to be an exciting next few months and God will really be work in their lives as the prepare for parenthood. The gift of life is amazing and a true blessing.

I pray that the Lord wraps His arms around them and gives them the knowledge they will need. I pray that He esaes their worries and provided them with overflowing amounts of love for eachother and the baby. Continue to mold the baby into a Child of God. Keep it healthy and let it grow big and strong. I pray that the baby is big in love for you, big in spirit, big in love and big in joy. Thank you for the blessing of love and friendship. I ask that you help Josh and I to have the right words to say, let us be a strong sholder for them to lean on. Thank you for this amazing little baby and its praents. Amen.

Health

Around Christmas time I was experiencing some health issues. I was sick to say the least and had been on 12 different medications over a 3 month period. The doc. didnt know what was wrong, and all I knew that I was tired of coughing and feeling horrible. After a series of doc visits and 4 ches x-rays they finally found something. A spot on my left lung. THe continued to give me medications to try, but nothing was clearning the sopt up, in fact it was getting bigger. They ecided to send me to the hospital for a CT scan. I began to panic, thinking I had lung cancer. I have never smoked and didn't think the possibility of getting lung cancer exisited. However, the docs still didnt know. I did my CT scan hoping for the best. About 2 days later we wer told that the docs still didnt know what was going on. I was instruced to come back for another ct scan in 3 months. Well we are comming up on the 3 months and I am sooooo nervous. I will keep you all updated!
