The Ordinary
Well. Oliver is growing (almost 3 months!!). the other day (they all run together sometimes so who knows how long REALLY ago but it doesn't really matter to the story so I will quit babbling) I was re-listening to our wedding ceremony. Jeff talked about the process of relationships storming, norming, preforming (I think I missed one). I feel like Josh and I were really starting to preform in our marriage, thanks to the Lord's help and Josh's patience. BUT then comes Olie- he has challenged us to re storm.
The last few month have been a journey. Olie is not what they call an easy baby I'm told but he is sweet and cute and loves to babble and giggle! He loves his daddy- and Josh is so good about taking him when he can. BUT he hates to fall asleep- he fights it- doesn't like to take naps in bed (but in arms is good). I am learning slowly to pray for grace (not patience because then the Lord will give me opportunities to practice it, just kidding). Everyday is hard. It is hard to be responsible for another human being. It is hard to do life here on campus and adjust to nap times, diaper changes, and feedings. I want desperately to be a super-mom and super-wife and super-christian! but God doesn't call me to be super (PRAISE THE LORD). He just asks me to be a sheep. Follow the shepherd. Stay close to the shepherd. Listen for the shepherd's voice. Find safety with the shepherd. Live peacefully with the other sheep. I love the idea of a shepherd/sheep. They aren't the brightest and don't always learn quickly (this sounds familiar)
So as I said lately we haven't been terribly busy doing things that are "blog worthy" just adjusting to baby life. I am still active as a house manager for the girl's house, which just consists of helping with paperwork and accountability stuff. I also help a little in the houses when I am needed. I continue to keep my eyes and prayers open to other opportunities that may approach. Josh is helpful in lots of areas. He is helping with a boy's summer program and in the boy's house. He is also able to drive the vehicles so sometimes he steps in as a driver for the students. I am getting much more comfortable driving into town and have taken quite a few trips lately. Olie really enjoys motion so car rides are one of his favorite ways to go to sleep.
The campus is doing well. We have transitioned to a new director, he is doing great. Jeff and Tina have left campus. There is a new family on campus, came in Friday! They are going to be working together in the boys house. They have a 6 year old son, Oliver along with 2 other children. I think that is about all the updates for now- next beach trip we will see if Oliver wants to go in the water and take some pictures. I will put a few of my favorites up here soon!
