And what an excellent reminder about doing things with a kingdom mindset, which is often so unnatural and, dare I say "backwards"....BUT, the freedom and clarity and peace that comes along reminds us how great our God is and His ways are always best.

I truly needed to hear this message. I am working on a project right now that is requiring 100% of my attention outside of work (it is a play that I am writing and acting in on May 19th). Please pray for me. And I will make it my job, during this next 3 weeks, to pray for others as well. Thanks Robin!<br /><br />Sincerely,Jan Green :)Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-19242101093200429282012-04-25T08:13:00.194-04:002012-04-25T08:13:00.194-04:00Nathaniel is, blessedly, nearing the end of his Ju...Nathaniel is, blessedly, nearing the end of his Junior year. I struggle with the faith that we can make it another year with no income. On the plus side, God has ALWAYS been faithful and we have no debt from Nathaniel being in school. My fingers are sore from pinching every penny until it squeals. I am weary, and tired of sharing my husband with PSU. All 5 of our kids are biting at the bit to see daddy again. I too have the weary, long days of alone mommy, with no one coming to my recuse so I could at least visit the bathroom without an audience (lol). "But let us no grow weary in doing good, for in due season ye shall reap" (Galatians). This has been my goal-setter, my encouragement that someday I can hire a maid. Someday I can afford a van that isn't held together with duct-tape :-) Someday, in a year, my husband will be on the road to a job that he loves, can sink his teeth into, and find fulfillment. Looking into the future and seeing a happy husband and the resources to bless others-It is a good vision. But there are long days in the trenches until that fine day.

Horrible place. I can't imagine being there with three kids. I was teaching in a tech school, and we were on a quarter system. 6 classes every quarter. Ugh. I'm shivering just thinking of it. Glad you're wrapping it up, this semester. Glad, too, for your friend.smoothstonesnoreply@blogger.com
