Wow...
I was fumbling around the world wide web and remembered that I had started a blog back in the day. How cool is that? It's like a time capsule of emotions!
At that time, I was working on finishing up my education degree. My goal was to transfer all of the energy and creativity that I had poured into homeschooling AJ into working with other children. Now, I am getting ready to begin my sixth year teaching at Hope Ranch Learning Academy! This school is such a blessing in that it truly allows teachers to pour into their students spiritually, academically and socially. I look forward to going there each day, and I am grateful that God has blessed me with this opportunity for this time in my life.
One of the amazing benefits of teaching is that we have summers "off". Okay, not really "off" since there is a lot of preparation to complete for the upcoming year, but at least the time we take to complete it is flexible. As a result, Tony and I are enjoying lots of time together traveling to the East coast of Florida together while he works. It's a fun way to experience new things together and minimize the time we're apart when he's required to travel. We also have a new-to-us boat now, which allows us to spend time snorkeling and enjoying the peace of the beauty of Florida while we're back at home.
AJ has since graduated from college as well but has not been quite as fortunate career-wise. While he usually has steady employment, steady pay for said-employment is not as easy to come by. We're standing on Jeremiah 29:11 though, believing that His plan for AJ is perfect.
Tony's precious mom went home to be with the Lord on February 1, 2017. As heartbreaking as that was, we are dealing. My mom's gone through some pretty horrific health issues herself, but God has seen her though. Oh, and she did accept Him as her Savior on March 4, 2019!! Woohoo!!!! I'm so looking forward to getting to see her walking in that Victory though...please join me in that prayer.
So I guess that's a pretty accurate summary of what's changed over the course of the last seven years. Gosh, I can totally remember sitting in the USF library typing out the previous blog posts...just a reminder of how quickly time passes...
Until next time....
