The Last Few Weeks Of My Life

These last few weeks have been very unusual, so I thought I would take a few minutes to share what has been going on.

• I signed up for an online Time Management class through Universal Class and it has made a huge impact on dealing with my time management problems.
• Friends of our's from our days at Fairchild AFB in Spokane, WA were visiting family over Memorial Day Weekend in Baton Rouge, LA and their 7 year old son was struck by lightening. He died two days later. It was their only child.
• I joined a bible study with 6 ladies. We are doing Esther by Beth Moore and I'm really enjoying it.
• I filled in for my friend who is leading the bible study one week. It was my first time leading a study. Halfway through our time together one of the ladies got news that her sister was missing and her parents had to file a missing persons report. God lead me to tell her that HE was in control and HE knew where she was. We prayed for his protection over her sister and for someone to step into her life to impress upon her the need to contact her family. Two days later she contacted them and they were reassured that she was OK.
• My kids went to VBS at our church and had a blast. We invited a friend of their's who we also knew in Washington to come and his mom was happy to sign him up. They are not Christian's but the VBS kids are singing in church this Sunday, so they are coming to church with us.
• I made a wonderful friend here and our friendship grew strong very quickly. Our faith and love for homeschooling were constant topics of discussion. She has three daughters close in age to my kids and they left for their new assignment in Washington DC today.
• I signed up to get my certificate in Interior Design at Sheffield School. This is one area that will enable me to help other homeschooling moms with organization and creating homes they enjoy living in.
• I finished my Time Management course at Universal Class.
• Doug worked very closely with someone while we were at McChord AFB and he found out that his wife died two days ago. Reasons are unknown, but she was younger than Doug and I. I had met her and her husband once and it's very sad.
• We went to see Toby Mac and Chris Tomlin in concert last night. We had a great time with Dawn and Cory Simmons. It was so amazing to go to a Christian concert.
• Doug is picking his parents up from the airport right now to stay with us for 10 days.
• I'm considering running my first 5K race next Saturday.
