Well, last week I was in much turmoil due to some things that Ben and I were praying through. Tuesday I called my Aunt Sheila for wise council as I shared my burden with her. By the time I got off the phone, I had the most incredible peace, and I slept the best that I had in a long time that evening. By the end of Friday, the Lord continued to astound me by enabling something to happen that I didn't expect. All I can say is, "Wow." I'm still amazed.
This week I have had some other obstacles to overcome in dealing with some students at school. The thing about teaching is that every day has an unpredictability of outcomes. I have writing assignments to mark, report cards to grade...I'm soooo tired! I just need a day to work on things and this weekend will be busy as there will be a birthday party for my niece Arianna. Oh to have a snow day...
On the humorous side of life, Ben and I know that spring time is arriving because our annual snow flea killing tally is up and running. Last year I won, but thus far he has proven to be in the lead. I find myself constantly scanning a room in hopes that I'll spot one of the harmless black critters sauntering along my ceiling or wall. We've also spotted some silverfish (oh joy). No matter how clean we keep this apartment, they still like to venture out and annoy me. Ben is better at killing them then me - I'm too slow when it comes to getting the little critters. Oh how they mock me!
I'll close by saying that 10 years ago this evening, I was Miss NHS, and Ben was my escort to the pageant dance. What a ride it has been! I love him more each day. I'm so blessed!

You're pregnant.
LOL - Trust me, if I was pregnant, I'd let you know, because Ben and I have wanted children for quite some time now. Obviously the Lord wanted me to teach at the public school here in the community at this point in my life.
Ben and I were praying about church related things, and let's just say I thought we were headed in one direction, and the Lord completely turned us in another - and no, we're not leaving Perth.
SILVERFISH???!!!! Remember first year at Bethany? Oh, the memories!
Yes, I think of that everytime I see a silverfish. LOL. What a time we had.
Are you trying for a baby??
