New Job

well we made it to our new home. it is beautiful! so here at our new job in San Benito Texas. the job is being a live in house parent. we will be relief parents for the full time house parents. we will have a different set of kids every week. than our fourth week we have off. for the past couple of days we have been in training. watching videos and reading the material. some of the videos are bad! but some will keep your attention. its all common sense stuff. like how to cope with difficult situations. so its kind of boring. but the hardest thing is trying to pay attention with micah.
now this blog is about my family and the growth in His kingdom. so this is the last time i will talk about our job. we are realizing how hard it is to do daily things with a baby in the house. it does take both of us to clean the house and take care of him. fir me it is hard because i like to be organized. so i am trying to get all the training, cleaning, and preparing for the other kids. its a challenge but we are really enjoying it. we have strict cleaning and securing roles here dealing with the state and federal regulations. so its hard to keep up with but once you do it makes things a little better. Micah had been fussy latly dealing with teething and getting over a cold. but he is doing ok. the air down here is dry. so both of us are having trouble breathing. i dont think esha has much trouble with it..lucky! but we got down here fine and had a good trip. he slept most of the way so that was nice. i drove it all mostly because esha dont like to drive in the city. so i drove. i did not mind.
our church is really cool. the music is all with out guitar, or even an organ, but the all sing good. so that makes it better. the last time we were here i think we had maybe 30 people. way smaller than New Pointe. but we both like the church.the message was real good last time too. so things are good. once we get our things it will be better. to fill in our courters. right now we are staying in the guest room and using the main house kitchen. i will have pics up later once we get up and running. i am going to be blogging in vox about the job. the link is up highlighted as maddaddy. that will take you to the blog. well i hpe all things are good back at home. going to miss the fam. and the one guy i still talk to up north, but things will be good down here. thanks for all the prayers and worries. love you all!

Job!!

Well, i am almost done here with this job search. it kind of stinks. right now i have about 260 applications out there. trying to find a job now is hard. i think it would be easier to find a needle in a hay stack than do this. i have applied for a lot of different jobs. none of which i want to work for. so while doing this search i really prayed and told God to lay on my heart what He wanted me to do. with my pay ending and no more money coming in i really started to worry. so i really prayed to god that He use me and put me in any job that He felt i can do. after about a week my mother told me about a couple going out to Kansas to be a house parent. i had no idea what that was. i looked into in and it was the job description for me. this is not only something that i can do but i wanted to do. after putting in my app across the u.s. i had a few takers. one in Omaha Nebraska. and one in north Carolina. but the one in San Benito Texas was great. its called Sunny Glen Children Home. here is the link to there web site.after seeing the pictures and the videos. i know i wanted to go there. i had something tugging at me to go down and look at the place.
last week we flew down and looked at the place and let me tell you WOW. it is beautiful. as soon as i got to the place i knew this is were i needed to be. we stayed down there for four days. the house we stayed at was an all girls home and they were so well behaved. i knew that God had been working! after we got back i started to pack and found out that it will cost a lot of money, but put your heart into God and HE will provide. our taxes come back just in time and we have enough to move!! things have been working so good for us,its like i have a big weight lifted off my shoulders, i pray that this job will work, and that God may use us in ways that we never knew.
