  • Well, the house is back to being very quiet again.  Jason & Valerie left last night and the other two boys left this afternoon.  After my rehearsal I put up all the Christmas decorations in the house.  Took me about 3 and half hours.  My back is now killing me…The only thing we have left to do is get the lights on the house and it’s too blooming cold right now.  I’m pretty sure the weather is going to warm up by Tuesday and Wednesday. 

    Back to the grind tomorrow.  Beginning to teach the little ones their holiday song that they will be performing on the concert.  Connie & I have been working on that with the 5th and 6th graders for a couple of weeks.  Mitchell concert is December 13 at 7 pm at McCullough.  John Cooper School Holiday program is on Dec. 18 around 2 pm in the MPR.  I’ll be glad when all of these are over! 

    David will be doing the Christmas shopping this year.  He says he is excited.  We will work on the list together and then he will go buy the things.  hmmm…wonder if I can get him to wrap them also???

    I miss my Jason & Valerie…..
    I miss my Jacob and my Jay….

  • Had my second session with my psychologist.  It went very well.  I really like him.  I am feeling more like my old self every day and things are looking up in my work situation.  I’m getting used to handling the two schools although I still hate leaving Mitchell every day.  And the fact that I just don’t feel at home anywhere, really bites.  I sure hope this isn’t my last year at Mitchell.  I love those kids so much.  I know and trust God enough to know that He has a plan and I would really like to know that plan, but have to wait on Him.  That’s very hard for me to do. 

    My dad hasn’t been doing very well…if you feel so inclined you can pray for him.  His left leg and hip is really bothering him and he cannot sleep due to the pain.  Cortisone shot didn’t do any good.  He had an x-ray done on Monday, but as of last night they hadn’t heard anything.

    Tomorrow is David’s and my 26th anniversary.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who loves me as I am and is my rock.

  • I got this in an email and after everything I’ve been going through, it really spoke to me.  Lord, help me not to complain about the cross I bear for you. 


    There’s
    always a reason for the tribulations we have.
    They
    help us move on to the next
    level.
    Whatever
    your cross,
    whatever
    your pain,
    there
    will always be
    sunshine,
    after
    the rain ….
    Perhaps
    you may stumble,
    Perhaps
    even fall,
    But
    God’s always ready,
    To
    answer your call …
    He
    knows every
    heartache,
    sees
    every tear,
    A
    word from His lips,
    can
    calm every fear …
    Your
    sorrows may linger,
    throughout
    the night,
    But
    suddenly vanish,
    in
    dawn’s early light …
    The
    Savior is waiting,
    somewhere
    above,
    To
    give you His grace,
    and
    send you His love …
    Whatever
    your cross,
    whatever
    your pain,
    “God
    always sends rainbows
    …..
    after
    the rain ..    . “
