The Pursuit of a Life of Praise

In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds. Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet. Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. ~ Psa 45:4-7

Thank you for calling Joyce Meyer Ministries! This is Jennifer speaking...how can I help you?

Oh boy! What a month June was! We've had overtime for like the past 4-5 weeks. Sometimes it's been 1 hour and sometimes it been 2 hours mandatory, and it's always been as much as you want voluntary. So, I've taken advantage of it and we've tried to earn some extra bucks. Money's been tight lately with one income instead of 2 very comfortable incomes. It's been fun!

Weird to say, but it's amazing to know that God is using me to help Chad fulfill the destiny God had for him, and when it's all finished God is going to use Chad to help fulfill the call God placed on my life. That's a ginormous revelation of the partnership of marriage. I thank God for that. His helped us throughout it all too, providing everything that we would need, the second that we would need it. SO faithful, this God!

Caleb is doing well. He turns 6 on Saturday. SIX! That seems crazy to me that I have a six-year-old. I am enjoying this growing up thing more and more. I used to want him to be young forever, but he just keeps getting more and more fun! He says that funniest stuff! Chad and I just look at each other and just smile. It makes me fall more in love with my child. On top of it all...we have family dinner almost every night and Caleb eats it! That is a miracle from the Lord! His favorite food is polish sausage...weird, I know?!

Chad has taken rightful ownership as a "daddy" and God is redeeming the time that they were apart. Caleb is all boy and he loves that Daddy meets him right where he is. It's been the easiest transition that we have had to make. We thought (and were told) that it would be the hardest. Somethings that we thought would be the easiest are proving to be the hardest, but still through the trials, we learn and we grow together. It makes me excited about what we are going to look like in 25 years into this!

Well, that's what I've got for now. I don't blog much any more. I just don't have the time and what time I do have, I want to spend on my family and friends. Face time is extremely scarce and therefore, very valuable. I love you all still and I do miss you, the comments, and even the debates that got carried away at times :-) But, at least Gina's still going strong. "The first shall be last and the last shall be first!" Twisted, but so true in this blogging instance.
