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
Bev
