Life

A lot has happened the past few days with life... Last week, my grandmother took a turn for the worse with her health and while she has better days and is awake/alert, she is usually not doing well and the nurses do not expect her to live much longer. However, she is and can be quite stubborn... But the cancer is pretty much running its course. And then also last week, I found out that they were cutting my(and some others) hours at work from full-time to part-time until further notice, and taking effect immediately. So after work last Wed. I had off till this Tuesday. I now will be working Tues-Thurs and some Saturday's... Yeah... a big change. Needless to say I have been looking around at other options for full time work because like everyone else, I have bills to pay too.
It has been interesting though, for our kids program at church Jump Street and KidStuf, we study different virtues each month and focus on it for our small group time. This month's virtue is Hope: believing that something good can come out of something bad
I teach 5th graders, and have had practical and realistic examples of when it may be the something bad right now, but I know that God has something planned in the bigger picture that I can't see that will be used for good in His timing and glory.
