The internet is SOOOOOO frustrating. Cox has been going up and down more than an elevator!!
Brian called. Their response - there is a lot of growth in your area and lots of people are signing up for cable due to the change in television.
Why can't people take responsibility? Why can't the internet work regularly?
So, I apologize for not blogging more. Life is good - Christmas is a week away!!

Direction
Hopefully Jay has found direction. He has filled out the appliction to be part of Job Corps. Through this program he will earn his high school diploma AND learn a trade. He is hoping to learn how to work in masonry, plaster and concrete. Once he is finished he will be able to apply for jobs and have a skill.
He is excited to start building fireplaces and water features. This will be cool to watch him use his creativity.
It is fun to watch as God is working in Jay's life. Before too long Jay will actually realize what is going on and God will be able to use his testimony.

The Hiring Decision is DONE!
It was so cool this afternoon. I had the top two candidates for the AP position I have open come in for a second interview. They met with the rest of the staff.
After it was over, I asked each one who they thought would be the best fit. All five agreed!!
And, it was the lady I thought would be best. So, on December 29 while I am on vacation, she will join our team.
What a burden lifted!!

Waiting
I am in a total holding pattern.
We are waiting for Brian to find a job where he can truly excel and glorify God.
We are waiting for Jay to get his head together. Last Saturday we asked him to leave. He wasn't living by the rules or the contract he signed. It was tough. It looks like he may come home later this week - repentent, willing to live by the rules, hopefully finding a job soon, returning to school and becoming a functional human being as opposed to the leech he has been.
We are waiting for a financial breakthrough (along with most of America!).
We are starting the process to become foster parents.
We are in the first phases of wedding plans. (Can someone explain why it takes so long and so much money?)
Most importantly we are waiting for Jesus to come take us home!!

Tough Decision
Today we made a tough decision. God will honor the tough decisions we make. I can't wait to see how God works through this difficult situation.

Interviewing
Over the next two days I will interview between eight and ten people. What a huge responsibility. One is an internal candidate, the others are all unemployed.
When I called one lady today she started crying, saying "thank you, thank you for the opportunity." Wow.
After I finish interviewing Friday afternoon, I will select the top two or three candidates. They will be invited back to meet the staff so I can get their input next week.
I am praying for wisdom, for my eyes to be open to the best person and for the girls to be in agreement as we work so closely as a team.
Selfishly I am praying for strength as I will have to tell most of them they didn't get the job. Can't wait until this process is over!!

Christmas Oranments
I am pretty excited about this Christmas. Brian and I put out the Christmas decorations over the weekend. He was grumpy and the tree didn't get finished. So Sunday afternoon, all by myself, I put the oranments on. It was cool.
I spent time praying for each one of our children as I placed ornaments with their pictures through the years on the tree and the ones they made.
Prayers went out for the people who gave us ornaments. Thanks went up for the ornaments that are reminders of special trips we have taken and places we have been. All in all it was a walk down memory lane, treasuring all the blessings God has given us.
This is going to be a low key Christmas, things are tough everywhere. But we have our Lord, our family and our Christmas ornaments - who needs anything more?
