Day 51 in the desert. The literal desert, the economic desert, and the unemployment desert, but thankfully, not the spiritual desert. While God has allowed us to be unemployed for longer than we hoped, He has graciously been teaching us to live one day at a time, trusting Him for each step. It’s a new… Read More Money Miracles
Day 23 in Phoenix. Still searching for a job. Stephen had his third job interview today, and he has a fourth set up for October 7th. Since we didn’t hear back from the first two interviews, we’re assuming he didn’t get those jobs. We won’t know anything about this third job until about two weeks… Read More Still Searching
At first we felt dazed (mostly from the long hours on the bumpy seat of a moving truck) and overwhelmed at the thought that we were in Phoenix…to stay! We are no longer visitors, but residents.

After the essential cups of coffee, Stephen and I set out for a day trip with his parents on Saturday morning. What a beautiful day! We drove up north to a rock quarry that was having an “open quarry” for its employees and the public. Stephen’s dad works for the company, Irving Materials, Inc., as… Read More Rock Quarry
Okay, so a little old lady asked me to find her a ride to our church Labor Day Picnic. I found someone who was planning to come to the picnic and who was happy to give the lady a ride. So, I called the elderly lady to tell her the phone number and name of… Read More E as in Elephant
ICA started offering incentive trips each quarter as rewards for students who worked hard to raise their GPAs and earn very few demerits. For the 4th quarter, the incentive was a trip to Six Flags KY Kingdom in Louisville, KY. Well, I have been wanting to go to an amusement park for a long while… Read More So, I thought I loved roller coasters…
