Dear Family,
God is working on me!
This week the Job I have enjoyed the most in my life let me go saying
it’s because of unwanted contact. I was
leaving my card and “leaving
a note or piece of literature within a customer's delivery are indeed a violation
of the Full-Service Shopper Account Access Guidelines.” When I explained this to Seth he said, “Well
you can’t go around town promoting yourself on their platform and expect them
to be OK with it.” He leaves me
speechless sometimes. I am glad he is
there to speak the truth into my life.
Later in the
week, I was telling Seth, “I should probably get a real job anyway.” His response was, “Maybe you should be
applying for jobs right now instead of playing Pokémon Go.” Goodness – he’s spot on L.
Seth and I
went to put our passport applications in.
I was mentioning that I wished I had done this earlier because my
friends were enjoying anniversary trips to Mexico when Bobby and I had just
gone to the beach (which was enjoyable).
Seth asked what was so special about Mexico. I told him since their currency is less we
can stay at really nice places and get amazing service for a good price. Seth replied, “So you are just going down
there to exploit them.”
So, having
an 18-year-old is pretty eye-opening.
It’s interesting to see his perspective on things and gasp for air in
the process.
I am very
blessed in that Bobby does support us. I
don’t need a job. I need to get my
self-worth from God’s love, not my productivity and this has been made clear to
me. I am not worthless just because I
bring in less.
Bobby has
been kind and loving in this whole trial.
He has listened, given advice, and been loving thru it all. Bobby also made dinner and has been drying
spaghetti sauce for his upcoming camping trip with the youth group.
I enjoyed
time with Bobby watching a comedy show that one of our former youth put
on. Ty Boice has always been
entertaining (especially in Junior High).
Bobby and I
also rejoiced with Elliot and Grace Lownsberry on their wedding day. It was perfect in all ways and I cried when
we all sang praises to God. What a
testimony!
Adriel did
have me over to her place for a bit and it didn’t smell bad. I enjoy her company and am proud of her
gumption. She does say she misses us and
that is very sweet. Pray for her
continued safety as she did say it is scary living alone.
May God bless
you and may you be amazing enough to not need any of God’s hard work in your
life. Phew – life is not always
easy. Love and hugs,
Cristy
