Just another week...

We've been in Illinois for 22 days now, and for 10 of those days, I've been sick. Yes, you're correct. That is almost half of the time that we've been here. Believe me, each time that number gets larger, I ask myself, "Is God trying to tell me something about Illinois?" I don't really think that about Illinois...I don't yet anyway. Once I've been sick for more than half the time we've been here, I may begin to actually question it.

This week I started my new job. Despite how excited I was to actually not have to work for a change, I was actually excited about the job. I'm working as a receptionist at a dentist's office, and it's a perfect fit for me. It's all about detail and schedules...which I'm all about. The best thing about it is that it's a Christian dentist that strives to have a Christian atmosphere in his office...which I love. I've been saying this all along on this journey that Aaron and I are on, but God really is orchestrating everything in our lives. It's so amazing to look at the things that are happening in our lives and see His hand in it all.

Everything comes and goes so quickly, just like the weather, but in the end, God is faithful and true to His word. He's always providing for our every need, and even though I'm complaining about how I've been sick for so long (just with a cold by the way...nothing serious), it's always so amazing to see God's hand in it all. Aaron and I prayed the other night that this horrible cold of mine would go away. Yesterday, I started to feel just a tiny bit better, and today, I'm a little bit better than yesterday. I know that these clouds (or at this time a cold) will pass, and I'll be on my way to sunny (and hopefully warmer) days.

This week is just another week, but it's another week where my God is at work in my life and in our marriage.
