This Sunday afternoon finds us working on gymnastics. Polly is the flexible one, and can hold her foot and extend her leg out over her heard, while maintaining her balance. Will is not as flexible but can do a controlled head stand. We just watched a DVD of a Cirque de Soleil show, and are ready to start training to become aerialists:)
A Sunday review of the week:
This week we saw our Father working in several ways. How constantly loving he is! He cares for us, and provides for us all the time. For me (Will), I have seen his hand in the blessing of my new job.
Over the summer, we went to volunteer for a week, and Brian asked me to lay some tile. I didn't have a whole lot of experience laying tile, but I was excited to take on the project, and really enjoyed the work. Well, two weeks ago, we had a rain day on the masonry construction site, and one of my workmates asked if I would like to come with him to do some tile work. At that job, I was offered a full time position with a Chilean brother. I didn't really know how to process it at first, since the offer came out of nowhere, but after praying about it, and working through all the known risk factors, I decided it was from the Lord. So I quit my old job and started laying tile full time last Monday.
It's only been a week so far, but I have already been able to quickly start picking up the details of the job, and really enjoy it. One added perk is that Polly is also welcome to work with me, and a few times we have been able to work together! It's pretty sweet to work with my honeymoon bride!
Other highlights for me have been: talking with a young (age 16) coworker about spiritual things, and seeing his curiosity take off. He had never thought through the love of God, and where death comes from.
I've just started "The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment" by Jeremiah Burroughs, and it has been blowing my mind in so many categories!!!! I'm thankful to the Lord for leading me to this book, it's just what I needed, and has been fertilizer for my daily dependence on God, and the attitude of my heart.
