Things are going very well here in Myerstown. We are finally starting to feel like this is home. Jason has started his job & seems to be enjoying it. There are plenty of hours for him to work, so we praise the Lord for that. We just got our new car (new to us), so that has been a big help.
Jason just finished his first summer course on Monday. It was a seminary writing course & he really enjoyed it. It was definitely worth every penny we paid. He learned so much about what his professors will be expecting & how long it should take him to write a paper. We're just waiting for his final score, but he feels pretty confident.
The girls are doing very well. Peyton has been having a rough couple of days. She is getting 3 teeth & she is MISERABLE. We've been trying to be understanding & give her a little extra love & patiece, but when she's clutching your leg, screaming (as she has been for the last 2 hours), & you're trying to make dinner, patience is a little hard to come by!! Other than that, she's great! Two nights ago, she walked from the kitchen sink to the middle of the livingroom all by herself!
Caleigh's doing pretty well. She's been having a little trouble adjusting to being without Livvy. She will mention Livvy every couple of days. At first, she would cry . . . A LOT. But now, we usually just have to say that we miss Livvy & then pray for her. We are checking with someone at the school as to whether we would be able to get Caleigh a hamster for her birthday next week (since we're technically not allowed to have pets). We thought that would help her get over Livvy. Caleigh will also be starting a homeschool pre-school curriculum in September. I've been working on getting some of her lessons ready & am really looking forward to teaching her.
As for me, I'm actually starting to enjoy life here. I've found some markets & some stores that I like to frequent (The Salvation Army is my favorite!), so it's starting to feel more like home. I just got a job working every Friday afternoon as a receptionist at a local chiropractor's office. I start tomorrow & am really looking forward to it! It will be a little extra income for the family & a chance for me to get out of the house & have some adult conversation.
Please keep praying for us. A couple saw our house on Tuesday night. Their realtor said that they really liked it & would like to put in a bid, but their numbers are low. That same realtor was showing our house to another couple last night.
Also pray for our health insurance situation. We applied to get CHIP for the girls & we're told that we were better qualified for Medicaid, so pray that we can get that application processed soon!!!
The Lord continues to faithfully provide for our every need, at just the right moment. We have no doubt that He will continue to do so as we serve Him here at the seminary.
"The LORD will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:11
