Central Texas Weekend

When Katy and I moved down here, we committed ourselves to spending at least one weekend in Copperas Cove, which is a little west of I-35, an hour or so north of Austin. Needing something positive, we chose to go this past weekend. While there, we had opportunity to visit the parents of Zac's babysitter along with some family friends Katy has known since she was very young. The two house pictures here are the ones we could find of the three she lived in while they were in Copperas Cove over two separate stays. Just for good measure, I tossed in a pic of Zac this morning trying to watch TV.

The weekend trip was good for us, as we had a chance to get away, focus our energies on positive things and it's possible we even made some good job contacts for me. But regardless, it was fun and relaxing. Aside from my very unfortunate episode Friday night in which my supper from Burger King decided it needed to come back up for a visit, we had a good visit.

Please continue to pray with us that we won't be distracted by our own desires as God moves us once again. While we are confident we are moving out of this particular area, we don't yet know for certain where we are going. Is it back to Nebraska? Is it to central or eastern Texas? We're fairly confident it's one of those options and just need to be sure we are open to His bidding.

Scott and Katy, I am so thankful that you are endeavoring to keep a positive attitude during this whole job thing...again! My cousin Joni (Brewer) Russell who lives near Syracuse, NY is going through some job problems during this time also. She is having a hard time keeping positive. Her boss is pushing her to make her quit her job when she is nearing retirement age and would lose all her health benefits if she quits or he can find a way to fire her. So far he has no grounds to fire her outright and she is finally taking the advice of trusted people to check with the legal beagles about what she can do to combat this. I encouraged her to keep on trusting and let the Holy Spirit show her what He wants her to do. None of us are perfect, right? But we can endeavor to have perfect attitudes and motivations. Actions don't always fit in with those things but at least we are doing our part then. We believe in you both and in what God wants to do in and through the two of you. We love you and support you and pray for you...and so does the church here in Custer as you are on our GAP Ministry Prayer Sheet.

Thanks, Dad. We can use all the extra prayer we can get to help us stay strong through this. Katy and I are both certain the process will be much quicker this time. :)
