Seasons Of Change

The other day I decided to take my father for a walk. He is house bound for now, for he got into an auto accident a couple weeks ago and totaled his car. He's fine..no worries. He's just waiting for the insurance check so he can buy his next vehicle. I figured it would be nice to get him out of the house for a while. We went to this spot last year about this time and it was beautiful. It's a nice paved trail near his house and it's near the water. It's simply beautiful. It was great. I took all kinds of photos. I was able to go down near the water and just sat there and looked around me & felt very thankful. As I was walking I noticed different sounds of different birds and the scent of the autumn leaves. I just love that smell! We had a great time and I'm so glad I went out there. I just needed to be refreshed & I was. Thank you Jesus!!

Before I met up with him I went to picked up my paycheck, which was not there. They had mailed it to me..anyways...The parking garage overlooks the river and it's beautiful and I had been wanting to to get a picture of the water, and the train bridge & the leaves. I finally remembered my camera that day and got a few shots. :) I think of all the things I take pictures of , taking nature shots, God's beauty..His creation..Is by far my favorite things to take pictures of! At the fair that John and I just went to they have in one of the exhibit halls, photos 8x10 photos different people enter in. I plan on entering some of my photos into the fair next year. I have the application to do it. I'm excited about it. I've been wanting to do it for years. SO here's my chances..just to show them is all I want to do. Anyways........
I am doing kids church..(it's like Sunday School) at church. I had some issues within myself I resolved and have totally decided that I am going to take a leap of faith and step out of my comfort zone. I am going to teach kids church. I am pretty excited to get to know these kids, love on them & teach them about Jesus. We do have curriculum we go by. We have a schedule, dates in which we will be with the kids. It's 2 Sundays on 4 off. We have a pretty good rotation. I'm excited to see what the Lord has in this for me. :) I'm SO glad I decided to do this!!!!
We also stated are small home groups last Thursday. That was good. As a church we take the summer off and get back into it come fall time. We have small home groups. We do a pot luck supper and we do worship and a little Bible study & prayer & get to know each other..which is a little bitter in a smaller setting. I look forward to small groups this year. It's nice to get out of the house once a week and get together with them.
OK....so I think this is it..I decided to save this for last. My hubby got laid off from his job on Saturday. Gotta love the economy!! I was pretty upset on Sat. I've been ok dealing with it I think. Today I cried and was upset not knowing what we are going to do. It's hard. I am worried, but I'm really trying hard to have faith in the Lord over this. What does He have in store for us? I'm still not settled in a job yet. This job I have is not guaranteed 40 hrs. I only have one day I'm working this week and that does not and will not pay the mortgage. I just don't know what we'll do. Please pray for us during this tough period in our lives. Thank you :)
