The Wonderings of September

P4050020

The weather has been so awesome the last few days.  I have really enjoyed it.  This is the beginning of our busy month.  So many things going on.  The NEA District Fair is this month on top of all of the meetings at school.  Open house for the Elementary, PHT meeting and also the Bay High School Career and Technical Education Advisory Council meeting, the Election for School Board coming up on the 15th, the Elementary Book Fair and also Bradley’s night out at the end of the month by going to the Disney Live show at the Convocation Center.  I hope to be able to take Vacation towards the end of the month into the first week of October to recover.  Then In October is the Birthdays for the girls and the Bay Harvest Festival (which I always enjoy). 

I really enjoyed preaching at Trinity Church in August.  I have been asked to teach the singles class next Sunday at Trinity, so that should be exciting.  Things have been really busy at work.  We had an awesome last quarter that ended in August.  Now we have a lot of promos running and the Team is all excited about our increase.  We even get a full quarterly bonus.  That does tend to excite everyone on the team. 

The kids are really enjoying school.  Bradley has done so well in Kindergarten.  He goes to bed early with no problems because he plays so much and stays so busy at school.  Then he is up early and ready to go back.  That’s my boy, Always doing and wanting to go somewhere.  I just love the picture above of him.  We took this picture of him playing in the creek behind my in-laws house in Hector (just outside of Russellville).  They have a beautiful place there.  I am really looking forward to them coming for a visit.  It is so beautiful at there place during the fall.  Maybe we can get back down there in the fall again and try to take some pictures of the kids and maybe get Michelle’s sister, Angela to take some pictures of all of us. 

God is truly awesome.  He always meets our needs and takes care of us.  How wonderful to know that Jesus died on the cross for all of us.  Not just me and not just for my family, but for each and everyone of us.  As I have learned in the past few weeks, we don’t need to be moved by circumstances.  Just like Elijah prayed for rain and his servant didn’t see any, He continued to pray and the Lord answered.  We just need to diligently seek him in everything we do and do that every day.  Not just on Sundays and when we are at Church but in our everyday lives.  I guess I am really preaching to myself on this one because it is so easy to just follow a routine and do what we want to do but we (I) have to discipline ourselves (myself) to stay in his word and KNOW the truth about every situation.
