Well, it's been a couple weeks since I posted. We still have found a job for Ron yet but we know God has a plan. Our church is doing Dave Ramsey's Life.Money.Hope series for the next 3 weeks which is such an awesome series. Everywhere we turn we see signs of God's plan and how He's prepared us and paved the way during this time of trial. I truly believe He has something amazing in store for Ron. Don't kid yourself...this is tough for us and we have people around us who say careless things and call us silly for relying on God to open the doors. In fact, one person said that God slaps people down just to humble them. I feel bad for someone who thinks that way - I don't know what God they know but I know it isn't the God I believe in, worship and treasure.
As for the kids...Kyle just finished up cross country. The team made state and the guys placed 7th overall. Kyle came in 55th out of 142 - not bad! We're pretty proud. Camdyn is just finishing up his pitching machine baseball season. He has improved so much!! Jacob is busy, busy, busy. He spends a ton of time playing on the trampoline, riding in the Rhino and zooming up and down the driveway on his bike. The weather has been gorgeous so the boys are rarely inside. Evan is growing like a little weed. His 6 month checkup is Thursday - he should weigh in at probably 21 pounds since he was 19 lb 15 oz at 5 1/2 weeks and has been gaining a pound every two weeks for quite a while. He likes to sit up, roll over and chew on everything with his new tooth...hmm, almost like a puppy! His cute smile and laugh melt the heart...so cute!
The grownups are busy just being grownups. Ron is doing P90X at church 6 days a week and I am doing Slim in 6. We are working on getting fit both physically and spiritually. Ron has also been doing all kinds of "honey do" things for me that we just haven't found time to get finished. I've been busy with MOPS, Women's Ministry, Children's Ministry Council, getting jewelry ready for the craft show, leading the ladies' workout and all kinds of other things. Somehow I have managed to be busier now as a stay at home mom than when I worked 50 hours a week.
Keep praying for us that God's wisdom would rule and Ron would have a strong sense of which opportunity he should take when it presents itself. He doesn't want to just run into a job because it's there but wants to make sure that he is placed where he feels led.
Resting in Him~ The Cardwells
