Janna will return Nov 23rd in the morning and I will depart Nov 24th. Quite the timing. Janna has had to stay in Singapore for longer than expected which has been a bit stressful on our family. The kids are doing great helping out and adjusting their schedules with all of the changes. Janna is wishing that she could come home sooner but it just has not worked out thus far. Continue to think of her as she tries to find things to do that are not too expensive and that she can really enjoy. I have been praying that this would just be a time of renewal for her as she can rest and think about other things besides always thinking about us.
I must say that for all the single parents out there, you job is enormous. My hat goes off to you. You become vulnerable always asking people to help you out. For example today is a half day for the students but the teachers are in meetings so I have to try to find a place for Jalen to go for the afternoon. All of these things just continue to add up after a while. I am very thankful that Janna is returning next Sunday.
Life continues to fly by as another birthday season has come and gone. I am the last in our family to have a birthday and it just continues to show me the importance of working for Christ. Because I feel like I just had my birthday, what have I done in the last year that has eternal consequences?? I sure hope something. So often we want to think of ourselves but I think that looking back on life we will regret thinking only of ourselves. So often I feel the best inside while thinking and doing things for others. May we strive to serve so that our lives here on earth have eternal value.
