What is the first thing to go in a missionaries busy life? The same thing in yours! Your devotions! Why is that we love the Lord yet getting time to sit and rest in His presence is at a premium. We are doing better now that we are on a schedule, but it seems that for a few days, I couldn't even find my Bible...new house, new piles of things, no HOME spot for devotions.
We are still getting paperwork ironed out...faxing insurance forms for proof of coverage here and there. We are working on final payments of utilities, refunds, extra fees for new accounts here. Not to mention Dr.s fees here for us the last few days. I was told we would be reimbursed...only to find that we have to meet our deductible first! Oh, yes, the deductible! How could I forget that!
We are still trying to get transcripts faxed from one school to another which impacts the two girls class schedule....pray we can get that done today.
Pray for faxes...yes! We pray about all the admin. details that can go wrong since much hinges on them! Yesterday the secretary tried to fax, but for some reason, it couldn't go through. And another day of uncertainty passes.
Thank you already for the birthday wishes. It means so much to be remembered!
We remember our dear family and friends as they go through life as well.
My father, Don, has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, adrenal cancer and also bone cancer in his right hip. He is in no discomfort at this point. Only his right knee hurts due to advanced arthritis. I am keeping in touch with phone calls for now. At some point, I will travel to Appleton area to make a visit. It is hard to know when and how to do this.
I am the main grocery shopper/meal preparer. Tom is incredibly busy with class preparations. There is alot of study involved in teaching 4 Bible classes with no written curriculum. He is doing it all fresh. He has never used anyone elses curriculum. So he is busy. I am trying to coax him to supplement with printed curriculum. At least he would not have to type and copy all of his materials--though they will be good when done!
Blessings on you all. Keep praying for the Masons....we experience God's blessing when you pray
