for-ev-er!!

Does anybody remember that movie, The Sandlot, where the little boys, at some point in the movie, keep saying "FOR-EV-ER" over and over again?? I don't remember what's happening at that point, but honey and I have been through several processes lately that have been taking "for-ev-er," and we're ready to see some light at the end of the tunnel!!

The first is our sweet girl MA, and all of her health issues. I think that we're actually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with this....I just commented that she's actually been sleeping ALL night, EVERY night, since we started her breathing treatments. Amazing! Now, the breathing treatments are a different story altogether, because I think it's a bit like wrestling a bear to actually get her to take her treatment...but it gets done, and now that she's on a "green light" with her symptoms, we aren't having to wrestle the bear at all...at least until her symptoms show up again!

The second is a (what feels like never-ending) job interview that honey has been walking through for the last few months. He's been interviewing for a teaching/administrative role at a classical Christian school in Dallas, and thus far he's had 4 interviews, he's taught a math class, and he's preached in chapel. Today was chapel, and we think it's the end of the process; we should find out if he's "the one for the job" by the end of the month, but it's been a bit grueling... We're confident that we don't want him to take the position if it's not the Lord's best for him, but it would still be hard to hear if that's the case. One of our pastors talked last week at small group about the Lord's will being more about "who we are being" than "what we are doing," and that's been really good to think about. I know I've heard that so many times, but it's just so easy to get caught up in the doing...

It's finally beautiful outside here in Texas! It's been for-ev-er since we've gotten to play, play, play outside, and we are loving the chance we have to romp around in various parks & backyards. I'm so excited that Easter is just around the corner, too! And it's spring break! And I was able to quit my job at the gym! Yaaay! Way too many exclamation points, but, you know...it's springtime!! Hope everybody is doing well... (and girls, hello, only 2 WEEKS until GW2008!!).
