Oh my. I don't think I've really been away long enough for things to look this different!
Anyway, I missed you guys and had a hundred questions that I had to ask my grandmother (who talks forever) instead of posting here. I felt like I was roughing it in the wilderness.
Dh's hrs had been cut from 40 to 25ish before. They're down to 10 now, but he's being transferred to a new store, which should help a lot.
More than that, he's identified some areas that he needs to grow in that should help him be more successful at any job. They're very subtle & not a huge deal, but I'm SO proud of him for seeing them.
And finally, I'm feeling much more hopeful & humble... for what that's worth. (Does it mean anything to FEEL humble? LOL) I was away much longer than I intended because instead of really praying like I'd intended, I just found other things to do.
I read a lot of...well, a lot, actually. I never read. But, I have prayed some, & more than before, mostly asking him to help, not just with the situation, but with my heart, and I can feel quite a bit of joy returning. I've been able to see subtle things in myself, too. (Do you believe someone who says of themselves, My sins are subtle? Oh, & by the way, I FEEL humble. Hahaha)
I've also spent more time writing. I finished the rough draft of the 2nd novel in my trilogy, & I washed, dried, folded, & put away 3 loads of laundry on the same day. The latter is actually my greater accomplishment. And since I suddenly can't remember how to spell 'accomplishment,' I guess it's no wonder.
I can't wait to catch up on what's going on with you guys!
