Over the past the past 7 months the Lord has really rearranged Sundays for us and we are LOVING it! Isn't amazing how we think change is going to be bad and god has something completely amazing in mind and then we end up loving it! Our church (since January 2005) has 2 services on Sunday morning (we have chosen the 8:30 b/c we then get a longer afternoon) and we were going to an ABF in the evening, but now we have started a small group in our home and we are so excited! Last night we had our first meeting and it went AWESOME! It has been neat to see God orchestrating this for both couples. Right now it is just two couples (including us), but as we (our church) get into the 40 Days of Community Campaign we believe it will grow! Last night we had our first Sponsor meeting (we serve in the Grace Student ministry with teens- we love it!) of the new school year and we are so excited about how God is going to use the 40 Days of Community to encourage the students to care about and reach out to their peers who don't know Christ! Please pray for this area- it has been a huge burden on all of our hearts!
Well- it's Monday and the girls and I are trying to get our motors started- well Morgan is revved up and ready to go as usual, but Maddie and I are a little behind! Today I called the Ankeny subfinder and was able to get two half day jobs starting the first week of September! That pays for G-view preschool! I am so excited to be able to help my husband in this way! I remember about 7 months ago freaking out b/c I might have to go back to work a bit and now I love it!!! I love that the girls get quality time with Grandma Stout or some good social interaction with other children when a friend of mine watches them!
Well- it's time to finish making beds and start the Monday morning laundry!
I still can't believe Maddie is off to school in 2 days!!! AGGHHHH! However, she is ready and very excited and that just thrills my soul! I plan to do some preschoolish activities with Morgan and also e ill be potty training too! Fun days! No more diapers-- HOORAY!!!!
