January is already gone?

It seems like I was just starting to count my blessings at the beginning of the month and now the month is gone!! Life has been as crazy and hectic as ever - maybe even more so - but it is good!! January brought several changes for us. I went back to work - at least temporarily. i was offered a temp job in the business office at the college. I am really enjoying it and am praying it will turn into a permanent position. It has really been a good thing for all of us. The kids have adjusted very well to the the change. Rachel loves her babysitter. Noah really enjoys her as well. She was a true God send. She has two boys that go to Noah's school, so I am able to just meet her there in the mornings and drop both kids at one time. She stays at the school with Rachel on Tues and Thurs for speech. Like I said, the kids both like her and I can feel good that they are content and well cared for while I am working.
Working 40+ hours a week has made us change our routine a bit, but it has helped us implement a stricter schedule and routine which is good for us all.

One thing I would ask everyone to pray for is Ellen, Roscoe's mom. She had an episode a couple of weeks ago with seizures. The ER visit revealed another recurrence of cancer, this time in her hipbone. She was transferred to the Hospice Center. There, they were able to get her pain under control. She is doing some better and will be going home tomorrow. She will still be under hospice care, but she is happy to be returning to her house. She is still very ill and very much in need of prayer. Also, pray for Roscoe as he tries to help care for his mom and family during this time..

One of the fun changes that came in January was a new hair cut! I went a couple of weeks ago to get a hair cut and told the girl to do "whatever" - I just wanted something different and updated. This is what I got:

I love it!!

Well, I have ot go!! Tomorrow is Monday and the beginning of another work week!! I hope everyone had a great week!!!

Today's bleesing:
God's generous provision
I am so blessed to know that God always provides what I need and what my family needs. Although I may whine and complain about hamburger instead of Rib eye steak, I still have more than enough satisfy my hunger and nourish my body. I have a warm bed, a roof over my head and clothes to wear. God is good!!
