I've missed posting, but it's been hard to write between being so annoyed with this website and not being home to write anyway. I am seriously looking into options for moving my blog... myblog.com is down so much that it's practically useless.
Don and I have been swamped lately! Last week, we taught crafts to the 1st thru 5th graders at Bible school. That tied us up for 3 hours every night, not to mention all the prep work in the weeks prior. It was fun, and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat, but I'm glad to have some time to myself again.
The week before Bible school, we went with the teenagers from our church to Kentucky for a mission trip in the coalfields. The area where we served was very similar to West Virginia, and the mission work my small group was doing was elderly-focused, so I was in my element the whole time as far as the actual ministry went. What was more challenging to me was hanging around with teenagers, but it was fun and much easier than I was anticipating! I didn't think I'd be "cool enough" for them, but apparently Don and I have got more going on than we realized about ourselves. I give God ALL the credit for that! He's loosened me up quite a bit over the last ten years.
Other big news: Don got the job with Alcoa! He started yesterday... what an answer to prayer! 3 months of interviews, tests, and waiting... and it all worked out.
