I can't begin to tell you about the last 3 or so weeks we've been having. I'm so extremely tired & in need of a break.
First thing: I've got a job interview today, in less than 5 hours actually. I'm hoping that I don't fall asleep during it.
My dh got a second job & officially starts today. I'm just not sure that he is going to make it w/ this job. They want him to work over 50 hours a week. It's like, thank You Jesus for a job opportunity, but is this the job for me?
So my last 3 weeks: 1 1/2 lb baby born in church; brother's baby born a little premature w/ some problems & gladly helped take care of his other child; 3 very LONG days waiting on in-laws who were visiting, who thought you go on vacation & do not work, help out, or anything; 3 days of District Council w/ long night services; fight for grandma to get in nursing home & she's there now; Up all night w/ four year old burning up & throwing up; Baby - almost 2 now - burning up w/ fever at night; Speech therapy, speech therapy; wild fires coming extremely close to the church & members' homes; and finally, in all my spare moments, getting ready for this week's Vacation Bible School that I'm the director of.
The straw that almost broke this camel's back: After working so hard Sunday getting up most of the decorations, we got a call early Monday morning that someone had broke into the church, stolen some stuff, & messed up some decorations. We weren't sure what we were going to find when we got there yesterday, but to be honest, it could have been a lot worse. So dh's time yesterday was filled w/ replacing doors, sheriff's deputy, & not able to do some of the things that were needed. I got there about 8:15 yesterday morning & left about 9:30 last night. I was very scattered but we made it through the first night!!!!
So, as you're praying, please pray that I can have a clear mind today during interview & during VBS & that I get a very good night's rest tonight.
Well, I made it through the interview. Now I'm waiting... again. There are several jobs that I'm qualified for, so we'll see. I stayed awake, but my mind was a little jumbled. I've been so busy that I didn't have a lot of time to get nervous. That was the good thing. Now it's in God's hands. They have to have all the jobs in place by July 1, so I should hear something soon.
