I have been away for a bit, life happens and we must continue. Some days are more difficult than others with regard to my work. It is quite sad sometimes the situations I must hear about. My sister keeps reminding me I am where I am for a reason and that God has put me in this job with a purpose. I still cry some days as I am making my way home and I will call my hubby on the way and cry to him about my day. He is my rock and my cheerleader on those days that are so difficult (grateful moment). It is hard to believe I have been with this company for over a year now. I kept thinking they were going to fire me for the first 9 months I worked there, you know the old dog new tricks. I had my PCI review last night, I worked night shift last night. I had a good review and they are pleased with my performance and for that I am truly grateful, this job came at a time when my family needed the income and I needed to be able to help my family. My very sweet hubby carried our family for fourteen years and I would not take that back for anything, I was there for my kids when they most needed their mom. My schedule is pretty flexible so, I am still able to be there for my boys if they need me. (another grateful moment).
The hubbs had a banner year with his job and we have made great strides in paying our house off and saving for college. We are thrilled Sprat will be going to his number one pick college in August with a merit scholarship, it will not cover everything but it is a nice start (grateful moment). Big T has soared this year in his new school, I never know what he is going to come home with. Big T is learning how to interact with local business members of our community. He has made presentations for the business leaders and for the various eighth grade classes in the County. Big T took a test that is given to seniors right before they graduate to see where they will be placed in college classes and did really well and does not have to take that test again (grateful moment).
Yes, I am bragging just a little but we had a rough go of it last year and I am just extremely grateful for the blessings we have been given this year. I have said many times that God will bring us to our knees so that He can lift us back up again. We have been lifted and I am humbled by his grace.
We are struggling these last few months with family troubles with extended family, so I ask for prayers, God knows what our families need. I am praying for peace, comfort, and strength for our families. I probably will not be back until after the New Year, lots going on with work and family.
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.
