The Aftermath

So, the project that I have been working on since July at work is finally over.  I cannot express to you how glad that I am that we are in wrap up mode.  I can now begin the new fiscal year...it started July 1, but I haven't had a chance to actually start it in my files.  I now have time to spend catching up with friends that I have not talked to in a few months.  I have time to finish cutting up my stack of magazines.

I have time to invest in my relationship.  I am so thankful for the amount of patience and understanding that God has given Alan.  He has been steady and present in the past few months, even though I have not been.  I am grateful for his ability to make me laugh, to keep me grounded, and to support and encourage me in the midst of chaos at work.  He was even at the event.  And he has celebrated having me back since then.  I value his friendship and his heart for others more than he will ever know.




The event was a success.  CNU has begun the celebration for our 50th Anniversary.  The main event this past weekend was a Gala Celebration on Sunday evening for 800+ people.  (That's Alan and I on stage beside the 11 foot tall birthday cake after the event is over).  It was amazing to see months of hardwork pay off.  Only by the grace of God was I able to get everything done.  It was a wonderful accomplishment to pull that event off.  There were so many hands and feet involved and without every single one we would not have been able to do it.  I am thankful for the competent, capable people that God has surrounded me with at work.  I enjoy my job and am looking forward to the next event.

God really does work in mysterious ways.  He is faithful and just to meet our needs in his perfect timing.  I am so thankful to have been raised in a home where everything else in life fell in line after God.  He is my sustainer and my provider.  He never leaves me nor forsakes me.  He is my PEACE in the midst of the storm.

All of it, my life, my relationship, my job(s)...all Soli Deo Gloria.

so FREE...I'm ready for it
