The Work Continues

The world is slowly melting from white back into the muted browns and greys of the last weeks of autumn. We had an unexpected snowstorm last weekend, but the temperatures aren't quite cold enough to keep the snow around. I'm not quite ready for the snow to stick around either, so I'm glad that we get a few more days of autumn before the long winter sets in! I did greatly enjoy watching some more snow fall this morning, though I think I would have enjoyed it a little better if I had been snuggled up with a book and hot tea rather than sitting in class.... But that's life for ya. ;)

Class has proved challenging for me this past week and a half. I'm taking Microenterprises... and though very interesting, it is not readily understandable to me on all accounts. I'm not big into economical stuff, so at this point I'm still trying to figure out why I registered for this class... But after this weekend when my 10-page research paper is done and Thanksgiving break is on its way I think I will be able to see with a little more clarity than I currently have!

I had a marvelous time with my parents over the weekend. We were truly blessed to have such a fun time together, and I was blessed immensely by their visit and generosity to me. :)

Here we are at Minnehaha Falls enjoying the lovely (and chilly!) November afternoon


We're sorta silly :)


The Lord's work continues, both in my life and in the lives of my girls... I am amazed that He just keeps pressing further and further into every area of my life. He is so gracious. And that is what I am aiming for too. But what do you do when He points out the root of all your weakest areas and asks you to deal with the problem? Haha.... I was caught off guard last night when He showed me the depths of my pride... it is the foundation for all other sins and I am a little bit at a loss of how to start the process of overcoming it now. I am just so relieved that the Lord is not one to show me my sin and abandon me to deal with it on my own. He started a good work in me and He will complete it. Amen!

Rejoicing in His work,

Jules
