I Need Your Advice

Posted by: beaner927 on: August 31, 2006

As you know, I’m working on my resume. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for 7 years. When I look at my resume, it looks like I’ve been out-of-work for 7 years! Do I put ‘Homemaker’ on my resume? Technically, employers can’t ask if I have children, so I want to be careful not to put [...]

Rainy Days & Resumes

Posted by: beaner927 on: August 31, 2006

Well, I’m trying to write my “professional” resume this morning & it’s tedious work. It doesn’t help that I’ve been staying home with my kids for the past 7 years & have forgotten a LOT of my previous work life!!! I’ve been sifting through old pay stubs & searching the recesses of my brain to [...]

Isaiah 40:27-31

Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”?
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the Earth.

Why do I do what I do? Is it for my glory or His?
Why do I say what I say? Do I need the praise or am I praising Him?
Why do I feel what I feel? Am I seeking acceptance or am I seeking His truth?
Why do I cry? Is it because someone else hurt my [...]

The Voices

Lots of voices are in my head, but  I heard this song this morning which reminds me of WHOSE voice I need to listen to:

The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I’m in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of [...]

The Little Victories

Posted by: beaner927 on: August 27, 2006

(I had to change my background because I moved my computer to a new desk & the screen is farther away from my face & I couldn’t read the text anymore. I’ll see if this works better!)
Dwight’s co-worker is moving & we bought this Home Fitness Gym thing from him for a really low price. It [...]

I’m A Mess Today

Posted by: beaner927 on: August 24, 2006

Today was an exciting day – the first full day of school for my youngest child. I had been through this once before, so I thought I’d be OK. In fact, I thought I’d be more excited than before. What I didn’t expect were the tears.
Jessica & I got into the appropriate Kindergarten line & we were [...]
