Summer has arrived...for those of you who were wanting HEAT..it's here! I called to have our AC installed the day before it turned 90 and I am ever so glad i did! (We did not have AC installed when our furnace "died" this winter...remember that day it was 30 below? and I knew at the time, there would come a day we would regret it...) HATS off to Pella Heating and Cooling, Joe and Calvin, for finding the unit we needed and installing it in less than a day! i HIGHLY recommend them!!! 628-1246
I am honored than any of you are still checking my blog..I am terrible at updates lately, it's either I'm busy, not sure where the days so, or I haven't felt all that inspiring with what's happening to tell you about it!
I did have a job interview for the Station Manager position at 107.1 KNWI in Des Moines. I was honored to even land an interview, but felt after speaking with them, that I really could do the job, and was starting to plan out how in my head. It was good once again to "talk radio" especially with such sincere radio professionals as Dick Whitworth and Dave St John. They have a wonderful ministry, and I am glad to now call them friends, but we both feel God has a different direction for them and for me. As Mr Whitworth told me, there are 4 answers to prayer, Yes, No, Not now, and ARE you kidding?? He said he felt that the answer for me this time, was a no, not now, but who knows in the future?
that pretty much sums up my entire life right now..not now, maybe later. My days are spent taking care of Georgia, helping Dennis, taking care of kids, and running a house. I continue to think of ways I can help with the finances and a few ideas are popping into my head, If you have any, i'm open to suggestions!
Val is doing her clinicals, but does find the work tiring, and spends most of the week recuperating from the two days at clinical. today she had to return home with a migraine headache...some days are just frustrating...
We have been in the pool! Yesterday, so much that I got a good old sunburn. YOu would think by now I would know better!
I'm feeling a little down, knowing that my church team is in Cary Mississippi this week teaching Bible SChool! this year, I just knew i had to stay home. but i think about them constantly, and know that right now they are returning to the center after the first day of Bible School, I am anxious to hear how the lessons went ( I had a little input into the material...) and how the first timers did, and if the kids missed Glenda and I at all like we're missing being there!! And I hope and pray they all take care of each other and stay cool, much like we're trying to do here.
My devotions have again led me to realize, again, that God does have a plan, even when it makes no sense, and that what He requires of me is to trust in HIM< . I"m still working on it.
Love to hear from you!!

Long time no blog
I have been busy..not sure what with, but busy! I've come to believe that without a "real Job", one becomes "PRN" for just about every other job! I have devoted time to a much neglected basement store room, and basement spare room, and basement store closet...and wondered how and why did we, do we, keep so much stuff?? and who was the woman that wore all those size 10 ( 12, 14) clothes?? I guess you could say I'm trying to put my house in order..for the sake of just that, and for whatever lies ahead..
My husband, sister and I totally enjoyed the Gaither Homecoming Concert at Wells Fargo last Friday night! Mark Lowrey was back with the Band, and oh what joy he is! He sang a medley of his hit, yes, one hit: Mary did you KNow? It gives me shivers to hear it, and it reminded me of many times when I felt just that same way, playing it in the kcwn studios..We watched the Gordon Mote video of "Don't let me miss the Glory" and I remembered the last time I was at the Well and heard that song for the first time, making my way to Gordon's table after the concert to purchase the CD, meet him, and assure him that kcwn would be adding that song, which we did, and you all loved as much as i did! so good memories along with a renewed experience of God's love at the concert.
Valerie has started back to nurses training, doing her rotation of clinicals in Pella! We are very thankful for the start back so close to home, and pray for her energy level to stay up! this means Monday's and Tuesday's for the next 12 weeks are nana and Georgia days. Unless of course, something comes up, which it did yesterday. I had an interview in Des Moines, so for the first time in 20 years, I had to find a sitter! I found that going from girl to girl in the church basement during fellowship coffee, with a smiling 4 month old, gets you a sitter pretty fast! our thanks to Tulip Queen and good friend, Morgan Kuiper for taking excellent care of Gigi on our first day away!
so life goes on here at the De Vries house, learning each day to Trust and not be afraid. Learning to listen more to God than to the news, and working at finding a way to reflect His Glory to each other and to the world around us..I am sure the same is happening at your house.
thanks for coming along on the journey with me.
Miss you all
