I can't believe how long it has been since I last wrote! My life has virtually been turned upside down at work...in a good way, I think...we'll see.
Instead of interviewing for my boss's position, I was given the job as an interim and I am now living out a 2-month long interview trying to stay true to myself and to the Lord as I hope my actions are a showing what I am capable of. It has been a month of pure and utter chaos thus far. I am grateful for my admin. assistant who has risen above and beyond the call of her job description and has been a true helper for me. We are a great team and we get along beautifully. Many times we have spent afternoons or mornings in prayer, shared our stress and concerns only to watch the Lord orchestrate the answer to our prayers without our involvement. God is a good, good God. Each day seems to bring a new challenge and these challenges are not ones I would expect to face. Most of them are rare to the business, but are all happening in a very short time frame. I feel confident in the Lord's provision and the way I have handled things. I have definitely made mistakes, but I also know that He has been equipping me for each new challenge that comes along. And that fact is what fills me with peace about this chaos around me.
On the home front, we are busily preparing for the winter season, allbeit a bit delayed. After purchasing the supplies and furniture to update our bathroom two-years ago (installation delayed by my hubby's health issues), we are nearly finished with the updates! Hurray! My husband has started taking injections instead of the topical gel he was using and his quality of life has much improved and as a result, so has life for our whole family! He has more energy and is typically in better spirits on a more regular basis than before. I got to give him the first at-home injection and it was kinda cool. Now he does them himself. I always thought I would never want to be in the medical field because of my extreme dislike for needles, but now I know that my dislike for needles is only skin deep....literally! LOL! We also got a goldendoodle puppy since I last wrote. She is adorable and so much fun. She has a calm and sweet personality (for a puppy), but definitely needs to work off energy before we leave her alone during the day! I am looking forward to the end of the potty training period...it could be a while.
