A New Dawn, A New Day

The changes have begun, thanks be to God!

I've had several job offers and have decided on the position of Development Coordinator/Administrative Assistant for a local county arts council. It is part-time, not great money, a farther drive than I had hoped, but I am very excited about working in the arts community. This is a very active council with lots of ideas and plans.

The full-time position would have been good, too, but I would have had to really make some changes in order to handle the hours. I'd rather still be able to have a life outside of my job, so the part-time gig is much better.

Hubby and I have been attending a Methodist Church. We both feel the need to be able to commune and serve together and that seems our best choice at the moment. God has graciously given us to one another to travel through this life. We will honor that commitment before the Lord and do our best to serve Him. Oh, I'll still attend noon mass at the RC every week, but I think my time in the OCA is coming to an end.

So tonight, I sit here content and thankful ... all is well with my soul.

Listen to the incomparable Nina Simone tell it.

A New Year, A New Look

Happy New Year! I'm changing the look of this blog (probably several times a week!) Maybe I'll write more :)

The holidays are over and were very nice for us. They began with an extended family party (23 people!!) Then for the next two weeks, my daughters and their families stayed off and on with us while visiting other family members in the area. My grandchildren, a 10 month old girl and 5 month old boy, kept the house busy and noisy. For that period of time, I'm very glad I was not working; it would have been hard. It was so good to have them here and I'm missing them already.

I sense change coming in my life. God usually gives me some inkling to expect something new. I look forward to whatever it may be; I believe it will be good.
