Not Much
I wish I had more things to say but my head has been kind of empty lately. That is a miracle all in its own because my head is never empty, I am continually thinking and thinking about all kinds of things all the time. It has been rather peaceful but a part of me has been depressed and rather lonely lately because those continual thoughts keep me busy, entertained and above all keep me company.
I found myself asking people for prayer in order to start this little family of ours. A part of me feels like by doing so that I do not have enough faith in what He has promised to us but then I think of that verse that simply says, “Pray without ceasing.” So I would rather take the Bible’s word for it than my own.
I am still part time at Anaheim Automation and I really like it, but I have been getting sick a lot lately. Our office is real small and it seems like everyone is getting each other sick. First Ervin was sick, then Alan, then me & John on the same day and I believe we all had the same thing. It really sucks and I feel bad when I have to let Joanne, my manager down, because I really like the lady. I am disappointed in myself because the past two times I have been sick I wake up completely horrible in the morning, I decide I cannot make it in, I go back to sleep and when I wake up a couple hours lately I almost seem completely fine and it just pisses me off that I didn’t take enough initiative to stick it out for only four hours, that’s what really pisses me off and then I get all depressed.
The dogs are happy though, they get to sleep in bed with me on those mornings instead of being thrown out in the cold. It has been so cold in the mornings that I have been putting on their little coats that Gordon’s sister Kathy got them for Christmas, that way I don’t feel so bad for leaving them outside in the morning.
I didn’t think I had too much to say and then I just thought of something… on Friday I received a call from my friend Dri, I new her & her husband John from Calvary. Dri and John are living out in Idaho with their two kids, they moved there after living in Brazil for two years (her home country). John apparently always wanted to leave Cali and go up to the Northwest and a friend of his called him when they came back from Brazil and got him a job interview in Spokane, Washington and he got the job. A week later they moved to Idaho and have been living there ever since in Quartermain I believe, which is right on the edge of Washington & Canada. They absolutely love it. Dri called me because the Lord put it on her heart to call me and pray with me because she has been reading my postings about praying for a baby. I thought it was so absolutely sweet of her. We talked for a long time and just like when Gordon & I lived in Oregon, she was trying to sell living in Idaho like we used to do for Oregon. I told her we would come up and visit if we ever had the chance and I am so curious.
Well, a day later on Saturday I get a call from my friend Chris, I new her and her husband from church at True Vine. I didn’t get the message until Sunday night and Gordon told me to call her back but I said no, I will call tomorrow it may be too late. Well not even 10 minutes later the phone rings and its her again. We talked for a long time and guess where she lives now?... Idaho! What a freakin strange coincidence! Dri & Chris don’t even know each other either! Chris & her hubby and three kids live in Boise, Idaho which is south of where John & Dri live. Chris is actually on the border of Oregon. It was such a trip that these two phone calls happened only a day apart from each other. Gordon and I both chuckled and said that maybe God was telling us to move to Idaho, which I highly doubt but they sure do have good taters. But Gordon and I are always keeping our minds open to such things. We are willing to go wherever the Lord opens up the doors to us.
Right now Gordon is applying for a new position at the same company he is already working at. This would be an increase in salary which would be awesome and hopefully would be more of a challenge for him. So we are hoping and praying that he will get this job.
So that is the latest news in the OC Flannery family, until next time…
