rambling......

So I commute to work....about 2 1/2 hours from my home. It sounds really bad, but it isn't that bad. I like being able to have a minute to myself to pray, think, sing, or just zone out. It really isn't that often either. For instance I came in tonight at 6pm and will get off around 8pm tomorrow. So that is really two shifts instead of one. On those days it really isn't that bad. People ask how long I will keep it up. I don't know. Maybe awhile. We really need the money and I can't really ask for a better job. I mean I get to be home with my kiddos, yes I do have to leave them at the daycare on occasion but mostly there dad and me take care of them, and I get to help people every once in awhile.

A typical day for me and my kids is we wake up around 8am, everybody gets fed , bathed, and dressed, we clean something...there is always something to clean when you have two little ones, then we go to the ymca to workout, we usually eat lunch with daddy, and then go back home. THe kids take naps if I am lucky they do so at the same time. We eat something, clean some more, and then daddy comes home and we have dinner and watch tv, bed time is around 9pm and I turn in shortly afterwards. I don't know why I wrote all that, I guess I thought someone might care.

We haven't found a church yet. It is even harder to do when you know that nothing will be like what you had in a city that you love. But we have been called to Podunkville for a purpose. I think part of my purpose is to be somewhere to reset, somewhere where people don't have expectations, a place where you sink or swim and there is no one to know who you where or who you could be. You know being around people you've known forever and ministered with forever sometimes makes it easy to get comfortable even lazy at times. I need this time to grow as a leader, to dream, time for my husband and me to depend on each other and grow in our love for each other. I hope that we find a church soon. We want to look at two more churches and then pick one. I work every third sunday so it has been a slow process.

This month at my gym they have a contest going on. YOu and a partner go up against another team and whoever gets the most point, earned by different forms of working out, gets a gift certificate to a restaurant. It has been fun trying to win. We got past the first week, but the 2nd week is close. THe problem is next week my partner will be gone for spring break so the weight falls on me. I can't work out that much, mostly because I can't put the kids in the tiny nursery for that long. So as much as I really want to win it ain't gonna happen.

that is it for now
