Still Making It

For all three of you out there who read this blog, I apologize for the delay in posting. We are some of the few Baton Rougians still without power. Our roof has some major damage and we lost my favorite tree, but other than that our house came out OK. It could definitely be worse. We are so grateful that God spared us from anything tragic or catastrophic.

Chris is loving his new job and the people he works with. He is, of course, still going through training, but should be able to get out in the field really soon. I have been able to find some part time work from home, and that is going well. Life is crazy juggling housework, work for money and spending time with my precious baby, but God makes a way. And oh yeh, she will be five months old this week. Agh!!!

With no power and no TV, I have been able to finish three great books in the past week and a half. Two Christian living books by Mark Batterson: In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day and Wild Goose Chase. The other was a fiction novel, A Lesson Before Dying. I highly recommend all of them. I was challenged to a new level of spirituality with Batterson’s books, and I feel like I could conquer any hurdle or achieve any dream. As for the novel, I am very anti-death penalty, and it reminded me of the horror of it. It was riveting and inspiring.

I am now on Erwin McManus‘ Chasing Daylight and so far it’s awesome!! What were all of you doing during the power outage and hurricane craziness?
