Changes

I was telling Lynn last week sometime that I felt change.  Change coming in some form or another.  What it was I wasn't sure of but I was sure that it was coming.

Well, coming it is.  Clint got a job last week - in the Boise valley - Parma to be exact.  So they will be packing up and moving all the way across the state - to some suburb of Boise.  I am so excited for them but not so excited that they are now going to be 8 hours away from me instead of just 4.  But somehow I am at peace with it.  I knew this day was coming but it is going to be hard for me to have Rachel so far away - far enough that I can't get to her in half a day!  But closer than the job he applied for in Maryland.  For that I am grateful.  And for technology like Webcams that allow us to see each other whenever we want to.

Oh and David got a job last week!  For that I am grateful.  It was a week for jobs - lots of tender mercies :)

Oh and Lynn passed the LCSW (licensed clinical Social Worker) test last week - the last step in his formal education which started almost 8 years ago.  Now he can read and study whatever he wants to instead of studying for the test.  I'm grateful for the personal growth that I have had during this very spiritual process of him trying 3 times to pass.  It wasn't about the exam.  It was about whether or not he and I were allowing the spirit to tutor us and move us to a different place than we were a year ago.  It was about submitting my will to the Lord's will and accepting that He has a plan.  He knows the steps I must take, the journey I must walk, the growth I must have so that I can be an instrument in His hands!  He knows that I must be here in Montana separated from my family.  But life is good and I am a better person than I was a year ago.  I am a better person than I was 3 years ago when we moved to Montana.  I am a little wiser, a lot more humble, more teachable, more grateful!

My handsome guy!!
