good, bad, or in the plan

The family loaded up this morning and we all headed to huntsville.  although the day started off sort of shaky because for some reason I was in an inexplicably crabby mood.  Do you ever have those? Anyways, thankfully I got over it before the ride was over.

Final decisions

We now have made the decision about Birmingham.  Haven got a call back about the interview he did and he had the job if he wanted it, but he decided not to take it.  We will be staying here in North alabama for a while.  So now I just need to figure out what God really does want from me, and us.  I've been convicted or shown this week that I need to start spending more time with Him, by reading my bible and just listening period.

waiting and watching

Haven had an interview friday at the Lowe's in Homewood. Which is just outside the city of Birmingham.  The HR manager said that he did well in the interview and even passed Haven along to the Store Manager.   So now we will just wait and see what happens.  The house that we wanted to look at while we were down there went into contract for a buy the day we drove down...so that was a no go.  We drove around and looked around the same neighborhood though and found some things we liked.

Lot's to think about, Lot's to do

We have started considering and I guess, more so making the steps in order to make a possible move to Birmingham Alabama.  Haven is now applied to a couple of position in the area we have been looking at.  What has prompted the move...I think to really explain, we have to take you back all the way to a job Haven had when we temporarily moved to Colorado for a couple of months last year.

Too much to say

A lot has went on since the last time that I blogged.  So much, that I doubt I should be able to remember and especially type it all.  I have been able to sell to more paintings as well as to teach an art lesson.  I am so glad that God is giving me these little crumbs along the path to keep me going.  It's very encouraging.  I can't really say that I've been able to do a lot of painting since the last time that I wrote, but I did do one painting that means a lot to me.  I guess the ultimate motive in painting it to begin with was the fact that I sold the painting of the ballet dancer, and I must say it really held a sweet spot in my heart, well I mean as far as paintings go.  I just wanted to paint something that had a similar feel, although I didn't quite capture the same emotion in the painting, I was able to portray how that God gives us grace through the cross.  That is why the name 'Grace was Given'.  Look forward to new posts and paintings in the upcoming weeks
