life changes

in other big news, jon went and observed an elementary school art class last week...and he absolutely loved it.  so after praying about this decision for months, we have decided to move forward with him going back to school to get his masters so that he can teach.

as a result of his wanting to go back to school and our desire not to take out loans if at all possible, we had come to the conclusion that now would be a good time for me to get a night job of some sort to help store up some income for the forthcoming season of need.  :)  we were praying, soliciting the prayers of others and beginning to do some research.  and in one of those super kind moments from the Lord, he dropped something into my lap that is better than i could have asked or imagined.

one of our neighbors that i like alot and really have wanted to get to know more just had a baby two months ago.  she is helping to put her hubby through seminary, and so she has to finish out teaching this year.  they have childcare for baby evan for every day except monday and some tuesdays, and so she called me on tuesday to find out if i would be willing to do it.  now, i definitely don't know how to wait tables or tutor kids in calculus, but i do know how to take care of a baby.  :)  so my new job will begin at the beginning of march.  isn't the Lord sweet to allow me to have a job i can do and still stay home with my kiddos (what i want to do)?  and not only that, but allow me to work for a family that i wanted to get to know more anyway??  so good.  He is so good.
