Kohl’s Here I Come.

After this Wednesday evening, I will be officially employed at Kohl’s to fill in the rest of my hours for the week. I don’t know what my hours will be yet, but they already know that I have a teaching position in the morning and can’t come in until 11am on weekdays. I’ll be doing cashier work. Please pray that I get enough hours to offset our costs and to save up a bit for the move back to NC.

In other news, Tom and Christy had a healthy little girl yesterday. Kyle deleted the message that he had on his phone from Tom, but I believe that they had a 7lb little girl that they’ve named Jocelyn (not sure about that spelling). So they have a beautiful little Sabbath Child to bring them lots of joy and little sleep.

Peace and Blessings to you all.

Written vs. Oral Communication: an application

As I was saying last week, before I was so rudely interrupted by the weekend, I have my own personal little conflict between talking and writing. Talk is easier, but writing is more cogent, more permanent. I have lots of great ideas all the time, nice little five-minute blasts of controversy. When my life is peaceful, these things show up here, in print. But when things are all crazy, like they’ve been for the last six months (or so), writing things down just takes too much effort. I keep having great ideas, but you never hear about them. My poor wife hears them – over and over and over again – because seeing that I can’t expurgate them by writing, I keep talking until I’m done thinking about them.

For instance, last semester, I had a spiritual encounter that was a sort of culmination of a period of thought and study on the nature and purpose of the church. This was a Big Encounter, something on the level of the call I had to go to seminary. Continue reading “Written vs. Oral Communication: an application”

God’s Direction Part II

And now for the rest of the story…

Due to the realization that the Lord wanted us to move back southward, I opened myself up for looking for employment either part time or full time to fill up the rest of the spring semester and came across a part time teaching position at Bradford Christian Academy. I called the number and asked for more information about the position and found out that they needed someone to teach high school chemistry for their sophomores and someone to oversee the students taking an online physics course. Neither of these subjects is my strongest suit but I decided to apply for the position and see if this was the direction that the Lord wanted for me to go. After two in person interviews I was offered the position yesterday (Tuesday, February 7) and found that I was very interested in taking the position to teach.

While I was in between in person interviews I received a second call for an interview as a Customer Service Coordinator at North Shore Medical Center in Lynn. Continue reading “God’s Direction Part II”

God’s Direction Part I

“For my thoughts are not your thought neither are your ways my ways,” declares Yahweh. “As the heaven are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9

“And my sense of humor and irony will drop your jaw faster than the anvil falling on Wile E. Coyote.” (Paraphrase due to recent experiential evidence).

I am employed in a position that I have never ever thought of being in. Picture this: Continue reading “God’s Direction Part I”

Grumblies

It has come to my attention that certain family units have begun to get the grumblies as far as our lack of posting goes. Rest assured we are not dead; just busy. Kyle’s classes have started well (and his Hebrew retake went wonderfully) and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. I plan to say much more both here and in the next grents letter, but now I’m hungry and need to go eat.

Peace and Blessings.

A long awaited real world update….

First off I would like to say thank you for not throwing things at me for the past month or so. It has been insanely busy here in MA; thank goodness the weather has been rather nice.

Where to start…?

June was a mess and the beginning of July was too. There, is that enough? What? No? You want details?!? Fine. (sorry guess my husband is rubbing off on me…)

Since I don’t know where I left off in either of the grent letters or here online, I’ll start just after Kyle’s birthday. Continue reading “A long awaited real world update….”
