Thankful through the good times and bad

I apologize for my absence. I would attribute it to working night shift, as I attribute everything to that, but realistically, it's probably just laziness. It' been busy here at the Brown household. We had my brother and his fiance' up which was tons of fun, then we had Ned and Hannah Kimmel with baby Jack come and spend a few days with us. Soon Josh's parents will be coming to spend some time with us too! I'm so excited to have all of these people spend time with us - it was rather lonely up here for a while, and still is when everybody goes back home. Other business - josh and I bought our first car together, we get to pick it up on Thursday (hopefully) and we're so excited! I've been applying for jobs left and right and sadly it feels as though no progress has been made since December and January, trying to find a job. I feel more and more as though there is a purpose for me being there. I've prayed time and time again to leave and get a different job, that I feel exhausted and worn thin - but God has not moved me from this place, so I can only assume there is a reason for it. I have to learn, also, to thank God in the good times and bad. That it's not all about what's pleasing and beneficial to me, it's about what's pleasing and beneficial to God. So, Thank you Lord, for all you have provided for us - for this job that brings in money so that we can pay our bills and live a comfortable lifestyle. I pray that you would provide me with energy, and that I would change my attitude and have an optomistic view of this situation. I pray that you would remind me what is important in life - not the luxuries, or things of this world, but the love you instill in me, and my faith. Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Love, Sara
