...for not posting a darned thing. It's nearly the end of August, and I have been neglectful since January? Yeah, that sounds about right. Bust! Blog fail. Well, I'll do my best to pick up the pieces and start anew.
Things are pretty spectacular. God is good. He provides everything we need. His timing absolutely blows me away!
So, in June I felt the need to step back from my church responsibilities and find a new job. We still love our church and are so thankful to be able to continue to go there. I just realized I wasn't managing my stress very well. At all. God had already ligned someone up to take my position, too! So, I took the summer off and started looking for a teaching position. Had an interview, and a couple of phone calls, but no real leads. But, trusty old craigslist (I don't always recommend this, folks...) led me to a full-time, temporary contract position on Fort Carson teaching German to SF soliders. Whaaaa? Freaking AWESOME. The contract lasted 7 weeks, and here I am with 2 weeks left. I've been able to meet lots of great people and will have a place here in the future should they have a need for extra German Instructors. I finally can say I used my degree, if even for a short time. Life is Good.
On to my story about how fabulous God's timing is: About the time that I felt the pull to stop working at our church, Justin got an incredible paid internship at a software company. It was to only last the summer, but he's been asked to stay on with the possibility of a permanent position/raise in the near future....again, about the same EXACT time that my contract position ends. Allow me to say, "whaaaa?" again. Because that's the only sound I can make with how excited I am.
Some of you might be asking "What will you do next, Lauren?" (I doubt you care that much, but I will still humor you.) God knows. :) I have a few ideas for the near future, but as of now, I will devote myself to keeping up with the house and doing home projects. I'm pretty content with whatever God has for me. He knows what I want before I even know!
Ohhhh, and my brother got engaged!!! Which triple rocks!! We're really happy for them and will be attending their "nuptials" (I really hate that word...) sometime in May 2013. What a party!
That's all for now, my friends. Until next time. (Maybe not as long until next time, but no promises.)
