High's and low's

Well, the last several weeks has been filled with high's and low's. Arm and I both had interviews, but neither of them panned out. Arm got an e-mail this past week saying the position had already been filled, and my interview never actually happened due to technical difficulties. I could now reschedule my interview, however I don't think I will because the only way for me to be able to teach also includes 10 college courses which would mean a long commute (1hr 30min), 50 hours of work minimum, lesson planning, grading, teaching and then school includes studying, homework, classes one night a week in downtown Memphis, and not seeing Arm very often since I would probably leave at 5:30 or 6am and not get home until at least 5pm at night and then have school and teaching duties. So with our first big possibilities not working out, we're moving forward to see what God has for us.

This past week, I had a meeting with a family that I could nanny for. They are Christians in a nearby town and have four boys ages 7, 5, and 9 month old twins. I would definitely have my hands full, but from our meeting, the mother seems very well organized and laid back. I just contacted her about babysitting once before fully accepting the job to see if my personality works with their kids.

Arm also just applied for a position in Memphis as a labratory technician. We got a tip from a friend who also works there and it would be great if he could get this position! He would get a lot of experience in his field as well as recieve benefits and good pay. This company is also looking for quite a few people as opposed to the last opportunity where they only wanted one person.

Please pray for God to work in these situations according to His will as we want what is best for our family.

Many of you have probably also seen what is going on in Thailand. The government seems to have the current violence contained, but there is a long way to go to reunite the country and for foreigners to have confidence in Thailand and begin travelling there again. Please pray that the Christians will boldly stand up for what they believe and come up with creative ways to help the country and share Christ with those around them.
