Study Hebrew....again...and again...and again!

Well, the past couple of weeks have certainly flown by!  Get the kids to school...study Hebrew....go to class...study Hebrew....kids are home....homework time...Darrin goes to work... dinner....study Hebrew....go to sleep....dream of Hebrew!  Oh my goodness...can you tell how much of my time Hebrew takes???  It is going well though.  By God's grace, I do have an "A" in the class for the moment! :0)

Yesterday I had an opportunity to go to a beautiful park.  It was a gorgeous day.  I sat on a bench in the midst of beautiful flowers and trees... just in awe of the amazing creations of God.  There were little yellow butterflies everywhere.  I rather liked the butterflies.  He has created a glorious world for us to live in.  But the beauty of His creation here on earth pales in comparison to what we, as believers, will experience eternally in Heaven. 

I actually went to the park for my storying group.  I have been meeting with these ladies for a few weeks now.  It is so neat to see the creativity in the group...so many different ways to teach the stories of the Bible.  Yesterday it was my turn to teach.  And what was my creative way???  Yep, you guessed it...a song.  Our story was from Acts 17:1-10.  I wrote a very simple, kindergarten-type, 7 verse song to teach the story.  The ladies loved it....and I got to be the "music teacher" again for the afternoon! :0)

Speaking of being the music teacher again...God never ceases to amaze me.  So, if you've been following the blog, you might remember when we had to go to the lovely student assignment office to get the kids registered for school (that 4 hour ordeal!!!).   So, you might also recall that Adam was assigned to a very small school about a mile from our home.  We actually didn't even know the school existed until that day.  We were hoping to get him into a different school, but there was a long waiting list.  Anyway, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago... Adam came home from school and said that he had gone to music that day.  Well this peaked my interest because Adam has never had a music teacher other than me, and I was curious what he thought about his new music class.  So I asked him how he liked it.  He said, "It was good, but we don't have a 'real' music teacher yet."  I asked him, "What do you mean, not a 'real' teacher?"  He said, "We have a substitute music teacher because our school doesn't have a real music teacher yet."  Well, my wheels started turning immediately.  I thought...this school is so small....they wouldn't need a full time music teacher....hmmmmm.  So I emailed Adam's classroom teacher and asked if what he said was true.  Well she connected me with the principal....and indeed, it was true.  Long story short....I interviewed for the job today.  The interview went QUITE well.  However, I will not know anything official until next week.  If I get the job, I will be working Monday through Friday from 8:40am - 12:30pm.  That will leave all of my afternoons free for my seminary classes.   So...how cool is that???  We didn't even know the school existed....it was a mile away from our home....very small....great educational setting for Adam....AND they need a part time music teacher....plus, I get to be back in the building with my baby! (I know...some of you are thinking that he is not a baby and I need to cut the strings....others of you understand completely!)  IF...I get the job.  That is nothing but the work of God...not a grand coincidence...just God...knowing me...loving me...and saying, "Here you go, my child.  This is for you."  (if...I get the job!) :0)

What else can I share???  We have had some flu-like sickness in the house.  Darrin has been out of work for 3 days, but hopefully he will be able to return tomorrow.  And....still no news on the house...still waiting...

Well, I should stop writing now.  Why should I stop writing now? What do I need to do? That's right....study Hebrew!!!!
