Squid’s Word

Yup. Like a bad penny I just keep turning up. Can’t get rid of me. I have been busy as of late. No I don’t mean really busy. I mean OMIGOSH CAN I BREATHE???? busy.

God has blessed in so many ways.

First: If you haven’t seen the blue stick on Jema’s blog, well yeah…she’s pregnant.

Again.

It’s a girl and we’re thinking of naming her Fiona Colleen.

Yeah, I can already hear the Shrek jokes. Guess what…DON’T CARE! I like the name.  

Second: I’ve been working 2 jobs. Yes, that’s a blessing. With so many people facing layoffs and downsizing in Michigan right now, I have 2 avenues of income. We’re keeping the house, keeping the lights on and food on the table. Yeah, God has blessed.

Thank you God!!

Third : the appraisal on our house went better than we expected or hoped. We spent about 2 weeks prepping the house and praying over the process. The appraisal came in 9 ½ % higher than we thought.

Fourth: My situation at WDIV has changed for the better; at least for now. One of our technicians recently retired and that opened up some potential full time slots.

While I enjoy a certain amount of freedom as a contractor for the best darn TV station in Michigan, the draw of a consistent schedule and 40 hours a week is VERY appealing. The GM of WDIV has to sign off on the deal. Please pray that he does.

In retrospect, I believe God has heard the prayers of His people for me. If that includes you, thank you….from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know where I would be right now if not for your intercession on our behalf.

I think that qualifies as blessing #5.

My good preacher friend Mark sends out a daily Bible reading email.

This is the post for today: 

From Psalm 94:18-19:

18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
       your love, O LORD, supported me.

19 When anxiety was great within me,
       your consolation brought joy to my soul.

Right now I am enjoying a cup of coffee with Jema and writing this post. My son is thumbing through a Spiderman book he got from the library. He’s telling me about all the “villains and bad guys”.

Absolutely wonderful…..

I am enjoying a moment created by the providence of God and resting in his concern for me.  

Thank you God…..from the bottom of my heart.
