Fall is here (I think)

It has been several months since my last post, and things haven’t changed much. Fall seems to be right around the corner, though. The temperatures this week have been nice. I’m really looking forward to Halloween. Jacob is going to be a hobo, and will be simply adorable. I was able to put his costume together for little of nothing, which really helps our budget. He is getting so big! He is running around the house and just loves to play. In fact, “Play” is his favorite word.

Still no luck getting pregnant. Every month that I’m not pregnant, it’s like losing a baby all over again. It’s very frustrating. I guess I’m just going to stop “trying”, and see what happens. I love my little Jacob, and he fills my life with such joy, but the longing in my heart for another baby is overwhelming at times.

Ok, I have to move on. This has been an awful year. With everything that has already happened, it just keeps getting worse. I recently discovered that my Dad’s mother has cancer. Her chemo started this week, so we’ll see how she responds. Not sure how long she has left, but it’s not very long. I’ve never had so much tragedy and loss in my entire life, much less having it all crammed into one single year! We need a breakthrough in our family! I’m so tired of the enemy stealing from us!

Now, I have to move on to a positive note. I have been officially designated as the worship leader at Living Water Fellowship in Hope, AR. YAY! The thing I’ve desired since I was 14 has finally happened! Now, I’m also having to play the piano while I’m leading, which is a huge stretch for me. But I’m loving it! The pastor is working to get me paid each week for doing it too. When that happens, it will be a big help to our family budget. Of course, any addition of finances is a good thing. We’re also praying for a smooth transition for Josh, as it seems his job will not be able to sustain him much longer. He has a couple of potential avenues to pursue, so we’re asking God for direction, wisdom, and perfect timing. With Christmas right around the corner, we are definitely in need of God’s assistance. Not that we would want to do ANYTHING without Him, but most certainly in this time.

This week Jacob and I attended a local MOPS meeting. I really enjoyed having some adult conversation and meeting new people. Jacob was such a big boy, too. He walked right into his classroom and started playing immediately. He didn’t cry for me at all. He had such a good time that he wore himself out! He fell asleep before we were even out of the parking lot. I look forward to attending more meetings.

Well, I guess that is all for now. Maybe I can remember to update this again soon. We shall see!
