1) Wow, this has been the longest week in history! And I am soo tired (and I didn't have to do half of the work most of the volunteers did) I almost didn't get this update up! I started the post this morning but stopped and restarted at 4:30 in the afternoon because I slept most of the afternoon!2) Its been a bittersweet week. In the midst of celebrating VBS at WABC Marc got word that he was being laid off from his "day" job. We have been down this road before and although its a scary road to travel we believe in God's plan for our life so in my heart and head....everything will be ok. God is in control! Marc has been considering going into business for himself full time, please keep us in your prayers as this will mean a big transition in finances for our family.
3) If you have been following me on twitter you know that my life has been crazy! In part because we had VBS all week, and also because our schedule was just crazy! Need I say more?
4) If by chance you missed my play by play of VBS week at WABC you can see the daily updates here, here, here, here and here.
5) I am so proud of all of the volunteers who gave their time and talent to VBS 09. I'm especially proud of my girls who gave their all to help with the ministry.
6) Friday Marc and I attended the homegoing celebration of a friend from our old church. It was an unexpected death for us only because we had not seen him in a while. But as we know its no surprise to God. I believe in my heart that he is with our Lord and savior and that he is no longer in pain.
7) I am still in shock at all of the deaths this week. Although I was not a follower of the tonight show, I remember fondly watching Ed McMahon on Star Search. And although I watched Farrah Fawcett on Charlie's Angels I most remember her for the movie "The Burning Bed". I'm still in shock that Michael Jackson is dead. I pray for peace for his family and for his three children. And of course last night we came home to news of the death of Billy May's the oxy clean guy!
8) Saturday we attended the wedding of the son of one of my friends. The wedding ended up turning into a reunion for many of us who had not seen each other in quite sometime.
9) Sunday after service we joined my goddaughter and her family down at the beach for some fun in the not so hot sun. Good thing too because I don't do well with sand and sun.
10) The girls spent part of the weekend in Baltimore with my mom and cousins, but came back early on Sunday so that they could see their god sisters.
11) I have absolutely nothing on the calender this week relating to church! Good thing to because my house has suffered the effects of being gone to many days and nights out at church. And now that Marc is home I am sure he will be wondering what in the world I do with my days! LOL
12) There is a chance that our vacation plans will have to be put on hold for a while. Although I am disappointed I am hoping that at least by next year things will have improved a bit and we will have the chance to reschedule our plans to travel to Alabama. Cass and her family have made it clear that if we still want to come we can. I love them so much. We have some really great friends. Not sure that we deserve them but I am glad they are in our life.
13) If Marc goes into business for himself (he is a telephone/computer tech) we will have to look for health insurance for him and I. Anyone have suggestions for people who are self employed?
14) The positive out of this whole situation is that if we are able to do this it may mean he would be more available to the church and to his family. He also may be able to go back to school. This of course would depend on whether he can get financial assistance. Once again please keep us in prayer.
