Time For Some R & R


I am happy to report that starting tomorrow...Spring Break will be underway! No more having to get out of bed at 5 AM! Do you know how glorious that will be?  We don't have any immediate plans to do anything special or go anywhere. Chris does have tickets to go to the practice round of the Master's next Wednesday in Augusta, GA.  His brother won 4 tickets in an online contest, so he's very excited!  Abby and I might drive over to my mother-in-law's house with him on Tuesday and spend the night. They're all planning to leave for Augusta (my mother-in-law, brother-in-law, Chris, and a family friend) very early on Wednesday morning.  Abby and I could just hang out at the lake all day long by ourselves, which sounds very tempting! We're just going to take things as they come.  Then, Brittany will be coming home next Friday for Easter, so I can't wait!  No boyfriend tagging along this time...YIPPEE!

Chris and I went out for a LONG walk at the park this morning.  When we got home, he checked his e-mail. The company I mentioned that he's been waiting to hear from wrote him. The H.R. Director said she hoped he was having a great week and that they were getting VERY close to finalizing their hiring decision.  She said she would be in touch with him by the end of the week, so we're extremely encouraged! I have never prayed so hard in my life!  If this job pans out, I'm going to have an amazing story to share with you about a 'sign' that I believe God gave us about this particular position. I can't tell you how much all of your prayers have meant to us...THANK YOU BUNCHES!

Enjoy your Thursday!

Happy Spring Break ... ours sadly is already over :(
I will add a prayer about your hubby's job ... and hope to hear your story! My husband too is looking for a job (he resigned his teaching/admin job as of end of the school year) so we too are praying for a job - the RIGHT job. He also applied to join the Army Reserves and his selection board met on the 15th - so we too are holding our breath until we hear if he was selected!!! God knows best - and we're trusting Him.

Have a nice spring break! Hope you take pictures of you and Abby by the lake. I'm sure it will be a lovely little trip if you decide to go! Hope the job works out because I would LOVE to hear your testimony!!!

Enjoy your break! We've got another week yet. Dracen told me last night he's beginning to find it hard to concentrate in school because he can't stop thinking about going to Hershey over Spring Break. :)

My DIL is on Spring Break this week and she and our son and little Princess have gone to San Antonio for the week. Fun memory making times.

Oh, so hoping everything works out for your husband and I can't wait to hear about the "sign." When it's in His hands, it always works out just perfectly and at the right time.

Blessings abundant to you!

5:00? EWW! Are you one of those women who gets up and shower and puts on makeup before you wake the kids ad get them ready for school? I wish I was like that. I can't drag myself out of bed before 5:30 even if I am working and if I'm NOT working,I'm not showering until the kids are gone. Enjoy sleeping late this week!

Can't wait to hear the story about the sign!

April, I just prayed that Chris would get this job! I pray this is going to be perfect for all of you.

I'm on Mr. Magpie's computer and dropping by to visit everyone who came by. Thank you so much for your sweet words. I miss you, my friend. This is awful not having my own computer, but hopefully that will change in the not too distant future.

Love you and Mr. Magpie just prayed with me, so we are adding our prayers to yours. Have fun on Spring Break and have a GLORIOUS EASTER. Hallelujah, He is risen!

XO,

Sheila

Seems like everyone is on spring break this week ... and they were all heading north on I-75 over the weekend! The first leg of our trip home from Florida was supposed to take less than 11 hours ... it took almost 14 hours!

Enjoy your break ... can't wait to hear what fun you had.

And I'll be praying that your hubby gets good news this week! ;-)

Joyce said...

Praying you get the good news you've been waiting for! Enjoy your week of spring break : )

Bella's spring break doesn't start until next week. Apparently we're much later than everyone back in the States! I hope you do go to the lake and really just relax!

Fingers & toes crossed on the job situation!!!!!! Good luck!
