this and that

hi all
We are still patiently waiting for our foster care license to come in the mail. Should be here by Monday but I'd love to be surprised with it early. Seems anti climatic that it will just arrive in the mail like any common bill or newspaper. I guess in my head I was thinking there should be some type of ceremony or something or a special postman back lit with sunshine who would make a special delivery with cake and balloons..... Yeah right, wake up and smell the bureaucracy Kendra. To us it's potentially life changing but to the Sate it's probably just another processed application. Talk about different perspectives! No more weird dreams about it thankfully.
The days have been busy lately so I have not taken the time to blog. The Financial Peace University classes at our church are going well and people are warming up to discussions about money and financial strategies and struggles. The upcoming classes cover cash flow planning (aka budgeting) and dumping debt. Dan and I were prelistening to the talk on dumping debt last night and it is wonderful. Dave Ramsey has a way with getting these messages across that is pretty powerful. He was speaking of the freedom that comes when you work hard to release yourself from the bondage that debt brings and I got choked up with once again realizing that that is us! Slaves to the lender no more. I still have a hard time believing it fully. It's like being in prison all your life then someone unlocks the door and opens it but you are hesitant to walk out because even though you hated that cell it is all you've ever known. Weird how it works.
On a different note, I could use some prayers for some transitions I forsee in my career. I am struggling with a major case of discontent at my job right now. I'm not sure if it's me that needs to change or if my discontent is God preparing me for something else. I just keeping praying to Him that I feel like something needs to change because I am loosing the enjoyment I have always had from helping people in their recovery from injury or surgery. Please pray for patience on my part and sensitivity to what God tells me or where He leads me. Deep in my heart I hope He is just preparing me to leave the rat race to be a mom but I am trying hard not to impose what I want on His will. Tall order huh?
Well, sweet dream - wait it's only 7:30 isn't it? - anyway be blessed. Kendra
