In other news, I finally discovered the cure for the headaches I've had almost every day for the past several months.   Had thought the headaches was sinus or tension related but medication did little for me.  Turns out I needed glasses.

Well....if not backslid, mislead. LOL. Sure do miss some of you oldtimers.
And greetings, all. I am at work. Nervous as a fox in the henhouse over the interview for the Park Ranger job. Which is weird since I have never been one to get nervous over an interview. :smirk2:
Prayers appreciated. :hi:

In my experience, I have always found nervousness to be a good thing. When I used to sing a lot of solos at my Fla church, if I was nervous before I sang, I would be anointed and knock that song out of the park. It would be awesome and I would get lots of compliments every time...but when I walked up there confident, and I was sure I would do fine, I ALWAYS messed it up with a wrong key or forgot a line or came in too soon or late...etc.

I learned quickly that nervous was good. ;)

I got called out by the Pal's sign yesterday. [Pal's is a local drive thru fast food joint. If you are ever my way go for breakfast and get the cheddar rounds and a raspberry or peachie tea]. They change their sign daily with little quips, quotes, etc. Yesterdays was 'stop overthinking it'. I'm still struggling with going to church with my ex-husband. Especially when service ends up being an all praise to him and his family of perfect saints party like it did on Sunday. I was fine until the pastor prayed the exact same prayer over him and his new wife as he did over us. Less than a week after that prayer, the abuse started in our relationship.

I did visit a different church sunday afternoon that I have quite a few friends attend but had never been myself and is actually much closer to me location-wise. The evangelist who was preaching that service read my mail. A sweet sister who is a dear friend and knows a bit about my past but no where near all of it came up and prayed with me. She hit everything right on the head. I'm stumped as far as what to do. Do I continue going somewhere that I feel like I'll never grow but is home with all my friends? Will I ever really heal there? Do I move on to another church to begin again? What about Brandon? He really enjoys and seems to be on the brink of something at our current church. I need prayer y'all......Now if I could just get an answer and get my mind to stop overthinking it......

Well, the interview was today at 2 pm. Apparently God said no.I felt good about my performance on the interview, yet I received a telephone call on the way home from the Head Ranger advising me that they had hired someone else. he was nearly crying when he told me, saying he really hated this call. I told him that it was apparently God's will that I not get the job, thanked him for his time and asked him what I could do to make myself a more attractive candidate. He told me that I had done an awesome interview and if he HAD to nitpick, and it was just nitpicking, my education was weakest. Sigh. Once again my decision to forgo college bites me. :sadbounce:
But, after talking with mini on the phone, I realize that as much as I love that place, I could have been in danger of putting it before God. I don't think I would, but I DO love that place that much. So-God's will be done. Thankfully, I still have a good job that pays well.

Dad's test was bad news.  He does have cancer.  So pray for him and mom, she's terribly stressed about it.  She has already been worried that he was bad off, but actually hearing a diagnosis of that hit her hard.

 I'm sorry Seth. Praying, do they know how treatable it is?
I made it through today. And thanks to those of you who have sent us Christmas cards. They are appreciated, even though I must confess that I have not so much as looked at sending a Christmas card out yet. I am so terrible about that...

Chseeads

He has appointments Jan 2 and 12 with two different oncologists.  One of them a radiation specialist.  They will probably be doing radiation on it, but beyond that I don't know.  As sickly as he is aside from that I don't know if there is other stuff that he could even endure having done ya know... 

We just need big help from the Lord on all fronts.

Chseeads

I hoped and prayed it wasn't that, but I was kind of braced for it.  Though it's new news to us to actually have the diagnosis, it's not anything new to God, He's known about it forever. 

I sure don't like it....  Just gonna lean on the Lord.

Why would a fox be nervous in a henhouse?  The hens would be nervous with a fox in the house.

It's an album we made just this week.  Aunt Diane, Uncle Fred and Aunt Lucy went to church and sang last Friday night, and they wanted me to record it to put on a CD to give to friends for Christmas.  It ain't professional singing, it wasn't done in a studio and it wasn't edited by a professional technician, but it's good ole southern gospel by some real good christians.  Download and enjoy.

We know that feeling.  Praying sir.

Ive been thinkin' 'bout this.

In my ponderin', I may have found why you didn't get the job.

You see, thar be bear in those woods.

And as a park ranger, lets say you get a call that a momma bear, or whole heard of bears are raiding a campsite.

And you go, and step out of your truck and you try to scare them off with a shot, to no avail. 

Suddenly, you hear the door slam on your truck, locking you out!

Bears start charging at you!

You fire once!  Twice!  You empty your gun!  You empty your clips!

You take off running as fast as you can, but the bears continue charging!

And just we, the casual reader of this story, think its the end for Roscoe, that's when I realized it was probably the mercy of God you didnt get the job.

Cause no one wants to see you run with a bear behind.

And Cheesehead, the fox would be nervous thinking it was about to get caught. At least in my twisted brain it made sense at the time and that was my thought process. Proves how nervous I was.
And in other sharing, today would've been my Daddy's 70th birthday. Sure do miss that old goat. He'd have had fun supervising me on this tile job I'm starting in about an hour. Dad always liked to supervise, and he knew enough about everything to provide helpful advice. Hard to believe it's been five years since I heard him call me a dummy, laugh and straighten out my mistakes... :sadbounce:

And in sharing- for the past 5 hours or so I have been working, laying tile. I still have around 15 or 20 pieces to go, with 12 of those having to be cut. My back is killing me. I had to take a break. My prayer-" Lord, the next time I decide to tackle a home improvement project send Burrito to do it and a pile of money for me to pay him."  Do it for myself is for the birds. :pound:

Burrito and Sunlight have tons of projects of their own going.  I told them they should throw a work day like an old time barn raising.  Folks would come just for the food. ;)
