It's absolutely gorgeous outside. The sun is shining, there's the distant hum of a lawn-mower outside, the birds are chirping - there's a gentle breeze floating in through the bay windows. You know, Josh and I are truly lucky. I was just thinking about our date to go to the beach on Thursday, and you know what? It's so cool that we can even plan a day-trip to the ocean! It's easy to look at things and get complacent - to look at people's houses, and the clothes and jewelry that they wear, the decorations in their houses, it's easy to wish that we had that. We are just starting out though - and right now is going to be harder than it will be in the future. With Josh working right now, we're doing fine and dandy! And of course God has been providing and will continue to provide for us. I'll be able to do more shifts here and there soon, and pick up fun things like "time and a half" or "critical pay", not to mention weekend, evening and night-shift differentials. That's a fun thing about working night shift. But.. it's not all about the money or the "things" that you put in your home, or on your body. It's about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "Lovest thou me, Lovest thou me, more than these?" Maybe that's what I'll do while I pack up my textbooks today - I'll throw on Ernie Haas & Signature Sound! I haven't listened to them in a while! Anyways, I'm so thankful for music, and I'm thankful for care group. We had a wonderful time last night at care group, and I look forward to getting to know Mickey, and Lauren better - well, and everyone better. God certainly provides... provides money for the groceries, warmth for the home, and friends and companions for the soul. Thank you God! You are too too good!
Love, Sara
