I was reminded yesterday that some of you still check in to see what's up with me and my family..thanks..it's fun to be remembered..
We're doing CORN..as you recall, my husband is BIG into doing corn. He did 65 pints on Saturday and will be doing some again tonight and I would imagine every night this week. While it's a lot of work and a big mess at the time, this winter, NOTHING will taste sweeter than home grown sweet corn!
I dont' listen to the radio as much anymore..for various reasons, imagine that you left a job you loved only to go back every day to watch others doing it...that's what listening to the radio is like for me. I was assured that there would always be an open door for me at kcwn, but they changed all the locks! Guess that's a sign it's time to move on.....and what I heard on the radio today reminded me of what my "mission" in life is, for now. A program on Focus on the Family talked about stay at home moms and while I am not Georgia's mom, I do feel that same tug of stay home with the baby or go back to work. A producer at Focus talked about when she took time off from work to stay home with her children, how she went from producing radio that impacted thousands of people every day to raising 4 little ones. She said that when she stands before the Lord on the final day, she will be able to say that she did her very best for those 4 little lives..and that no matter how many she may have impacted by her work at Focus (where she was able to return after time off to raise her family..a sign of HOPE!) that what really matters is that those 4 little faces are the ones she sees for eternity.
Couldn't have said it better myself. so for now, even though I miss my radio work immensely, this is where I know I need to be. Whatever God has in store for me after this...well, that remains to be seen. I know from talking to many of you, that adjusting to the changes in life and coping with them can be very difficult. But we do not go through these things alone..and God is faithful.
I love hearing from you! Please feel free to email me (bevdv@iowatelecom.net) Another adjustment has been going from 40 emails a day with work related items to about 5 from friends! You would think i'd be getting ever so much more accomplished!
I have painted my kitchen...or should I say, i watched kids while my daughter Stacey painted. a nice camel color highlighted with wild current ( a nice bright deep red!!) the soffit above the cabinets still needs major attention as the wall paper there refused to come off.
We've had a couple pool days, and Tysen now loves to SING "I believe i can swim" as he jumps from the ladder to nana's waiting arms. a few mis ques and he "touched the floor" and got water in his nose and eyes, to which he replied, That was AWESOME!
oh to be 3!
Baby is sleeping, time to do some "work"
Blessings to you all
