Today’s an amazing day!

Why is it so amazing?  Well, I can breathe for one thing!  I have been battling bronchitis all week and my lungs just feel a whole lot better today — Praise God!  Another thing, we’re able to pay the mortgage today.  Thank you, Lord!!  Thanks, God, for teaching me to be content in all my circumstances.  It’s been a hard few months.  Dean is working for a local builder and loves his job — except that they haven’t been selling too many new homes lately with the housing slump.  That’s not good, but it has forced Dean to look at what he’s doing and where he’s going.  This wasn’t ever supposed to be a permanent career.  He left the IT industry to (a) be home with family and (b) pursue something with his music.  How did we get so far away from the second part of that goal?  Well, life happens!  We needed to pay bills, and so his part-time sales job turned into a full-time career.  Recently, we’ve taken a step back and asked the Lord for direction. God is faithful to answer prayer! As we’ve been praying, and have asked family and friends to pray, Dean is feeling led to enter full-time ministry as a worship leader! God hasn’t answered the “where” part of that question yet, but we have a real peace that Dean is on the right path! And, God is opening doors! We don’t know where we’ll wind up, but it’s exciting!! So, I’m just feeling very thankful today. I’m hoping you’re having an amazing day, too. Every day is an amazing day — and tomorrow will be even more amazing!!! Check out Joshua 3:5 — “Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.’”
