It has been great to see God at work this summer. One of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 33:3. God promises not only to answer prayer, but to answer in a way that is beyond what we can understand. He does not do the absurd, but He does go above our expectations.
When school dismissed for the summer, I was intrigued by what the upcoming weeks would hold with only one part-time job plus Bec's job to meet the needs. There really was no time to try to compete with high school and college students for the few part-time jobs available. Thanks to God and His blessing, it was not necessary. I have been working 30-37 hours per week at Fed-Ex this summer. Because I work mostly afternoons and evenings, I have been able to spend some the kids doing different things. Our God truly is Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides.
One of the fun things about working at a package shipper is seeing the various locations to which packages are headed. I have seen boxes headed to different places I have lived and others that I have visited. Of course, there is no time to stare at boxes, so it is a quick glance as they go by.
Brianna attended a week of summer camp at Mt. Lou-San Bible Camp in Harrisburg. She had a great week. Justin goes to the Wilds in NC in August. The kids continue to grow and mature (I think). Becky and I grew up attending camp and Justin has always enjoyed camp. Now Brie gets to attend. Camp is an essential part of our lives.
More news to come -- chores to get done.
