I'm testing this to see if I can blog from my phone. Waiting for the snow to start. 8 to 12 inches expected. This has been a really nice year weatherwise.

Getting back in the swing.

Hey everyone,

I forgot how much is involved with keeping this blog up and going. I'm not complaining, I love it, it just takes a lot of time. I forgot how much there is to all of this blogging. My old "subscribe for e-mail updates" widget pooped out on me. Its taken me a while to get a new one. For those of you who subscribed before, you will have to subscribe again. I'm sorry. For those who havent subscribed for e-mail updates, now is a great time to do so. Its fast and easy and you wont have to take the time to look at my blog to see if I've updated it or not. If you're subscribed you'll get an e-mail telling you that I have updated the blog. Please do so if you already havent. I would love for you to sign up as a follower too. Thanks to all of you and now that I have this running again, I should be able to focus on writing. Until then..

Its me again!!

When I last left you it was July and I was 7 months unemployed. Things didn't look good and I talked about how I just didn't know how to pray anymore. The heavens were like brass and I didn't feel like the Lord was hearing my cry at all. I was treading water. I was living the best I could for the Lord but everyday was a new struggle just to get out of bed. I had not felt like that in a long time. I just didn't have the desire to blog anymore, nor did I have any inspiration. I felt like it was time for me to be quiet and listen to God for a while. Little did I know that my unemployment would last into November. Almost 11 months after being laid off, I found employment. My 31st day had finally arrived. It was the first real job offer that I had and it was the first interview I had that I felt was a realistic opportunity. After the third interview (I was about to stab myself in the eye with a dull knife), I was offered the job. I had prayed long and hard for this job and now the Lord was giving me and my family what we so desperately needed. It was just in time too. My unemployment was going to run out in 4 weeks. God is wonderful. He is so faithful. He was there the whole time making preparation for me to find this job. All I had to do was rest in Him and wait. We are all so thankful to you for your support and prayers. Gods people are one of a kind. I do not discount the encouragement and strength garnered from all of you who supported me, whether in this blog, or in person. I love all of you. My family loves all of you. God loves all of you. Its good to be back. I cant wait to share all that I have learned and I will try to help someone in need. Maybe I'll have the words you need to hear. Until then, God bless and keep you. Keep living the life.
