Undeserving

We have a very exciting week coming up for our entire family.

For Livy, it's her dream of ballet being realized in her very first ballet class.

(We leave shortly to shop for ballet shoes and tights!)

For the kids and I, we're looking forward to a brand new homeschool co-op beginning on Monday! Emma is taking music, literature and PE.

Liv will be in a preschool letters & numbers class, story hour and PE.

They are so very excited, the open house yesterday was great!

For Andy, it's a brand new job! For those of you who might be thinking, 'didn't he just start one?' The answer is yes. He began working for a PT staffing division at the beginning of the summer. Traveling PT/PTAs are a wonderful position but it's a "gateway" job. Andy wanted to try a little of every setting to know where he would be happy long-term. This summer gave him such a good grasp on his strengths and passions for pt.

So! He accepted an offered position at an Osteoarthritis center here in Meridian. He's just 3 miles away from home, out-patient clinic, perfect hours and (I know God's hand was on this part), a really significant salary raise. That part is hard to grapple with, of course I'm thankful with Andy but there's a temptation to hide blessings when others around you are struggling....My desire is not to flaunt, but to give the Lord the glory for what He's doing, and where He's moving. He was just as much with us during our lean years, and now I want to praise him all the same during the harvest.

Well, Emma and I have been up doing school since 7:30am. Now we're almost ready to take a break and head out shopping for Liv's ballet needs, fun!!
