Happy Birthday Jamie!

Happy Birthday to my beloved bride, Jamie!

Always yours, Mark

Changes are a Comin'

Yesterday (Tuesday), my wife, Jamie, accepted an offer to work for a Children's Advocacy Center in Waxahachie, Texas. It is the perfect job for her qualifications and it has benefits. Now, I need a job in the Dallas area. I have applied for several school districts in that area and I am hoping that one of them calls for an interview soon and that a new teaching job will soon follow.

Our most immediate concern in the meantime is the selling of our house. We will have to contact a good Realtor in the area and put our house up for sell. I hope it sells fairly quickly. Having a full-time job offer for me will give us a great starting spot to look for a new apartment or duplex to rent.

If God chooses not to have me work full-time before the end of the summer, we will just have to find an apartment close to Jamie's new job and I will sign up to substitute teach at the local school districts and see if I can transfer my Starbucks job to a Starbucks location in the Waxahachie area.

Pray that this new transition in our life goes smoothly, that our home sells quickly, and a school offers me a full-time teaching post soon!

Prayer Request for Jamie and the Family

I am requesting prayer request for my wife, Jamie. She just got word from her doctor that she is going to need surgery to remove some fibrositic type cells from one of her breast. It is not cancer, it is just a mass of cells that if left untreated could turn into pre-cancer cells. We are pretty sure insurance will cover most or all of the cost, but we would like prayers for all of this just in case.

Also, I filled out two more applications for local schools who have positions I am qualified for. I am waiting to hear back from them. I need another full-time job soon especially since I may be getting a small cut in hours from my part-time job at Mardel.

We also want prayers for our upcoming Dynamic Marriage class starting in Sept.

I know God is Sovereign; however, I am starting to get frustrated (especially since I am causing the rest of my family stress, because of my lack of a full-time job. Come on God, isn't enough, enough.

I Am Iron Man!

Thinking I was posting on my blog, I accidentally posted on Jamie's blog. So go there to read my latest blog.

I couldn't cut and paste it so I'm leaving it there!

Jamie and Her MRI

Jamie, my dear wife, is having her MRI today to determine the next step in treating some atypical cells found during her last mammogram. We do know that the cells are not cancer, but are something that needs to be treated. I will update this later today, to let you know the results. Has anyone ever had an MRI? I never had, but I have heard they are uncomfortable, especially if you are afraid of being in tight spaces.

Urgent Prayer Request!

I just found out today that my beautiful bride, Jamie, needs an MRI next Thursday, to determine if a group of abnormal cells, (found during her last mammogram), is cancer or not! Please pray for my family and especially Jamie!
