I still havent blogged about my week last week. Where I had a horrible lesson. Im still not sure if I'll share it, because I dont know if I've learned the entire lesson....yet.
But I wanted to share a small measure of success for our family this week.
-Firstly, I got all my assignments back that I was waiting on; and I got straight High Distinctions. 95+ for the most part. I am pretty happy. Thank you everyone who prayed for our family during the last few weeks, it was a stressful time and I have appreciated you all.
- Secondly, Jayde started playing t-ball back in September. She is very 'team' oriented, which we have always appreciated and endeavoured to foster. The last few games she's done quite well, she seems like she's a really good all-round athlete for her age. She is just 7 but her coach invited her to try out for Representative T-ball to play in the U/10s State Championships. We showed up for both try-outs and had to laugh. She was a head shorter than most girls, many of whom played on the rep team last year, and with some of them aged 9, and only 12 spots going (more than 30 kids trying), we figured it was just an extra practice session for her. Today she got a letter saying that she was selected for the team. I felt really pleased for her. Not because she made the team, but because her best efforts are always done with joy and a love of the game, never with fierce competetiveness. And her first comments were to thank Jesus, before mentioning all the new friends she will make and the 'light' she intends to be. What a heart. What a girl. What a blessing.
- Thirdly, Jack has had some small success at work and been invited as a guest speaker for a 4WD convention. This doesnt equal any more money for our family, but came about through recognition of his integrity and honesty. I feel so proud of my husband...and really glad that he can have this professional encouragement since his work has been particularly trying and stressful lately.
- And Levi's latest triumph? Hrmm...toilet training is going well. Sharing is getting better. His talking is improving. Let's just say he's been more pleasure than challenge the last few days. What bliss!
We know that all good things come from Christ. And I know that these things are not 'big' deals; they dont equal souls redeemed for the Kingdom. But I am excited to see what doors will be opened from these opportunities. What families and kids we'll meet, what students I'll teach, what lives will be changed through Christ.
Thanks once again, everyone who has been praying for our family! Have a great day!
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...
