Update

So, I am finally sitting down and writing another post. Another long expanse of time between posts. I hope life will settle down soon but I am not holding my breath!

This has been a good week in ministry. The new baptistery built for us has already held two baptisms! It is such an amazing thing to witness someone giving themselves to Christ. I don’t think it will ever get old or routine for me! The Lord is so good!

The Dominican Independence day is next week so we have a short school week. I am glad for the rest but also a little frazzled about losing two days of instruction next week and two days this week due to all day field trips and the school celebration.

The weather has been cold and rainy. I have worn sweaters and leggings for over a week. The bright side is the fact we have not run the AC which has substantially lowered our electrical bill. This is a help because we now have car repairs for both cars thanks to an issue with the wheel on our old car.

            Jonathan and I have been discussing the next major investment in our house. We have agreed that the porch will take the next priority as we find ourselves regular needing and wanting to sit outside but having no furniture to do that. We cannot invest in furniture until we have some kind of wall or bars up to prevent things from getting stolen. We have several ideas in mind for how to secure the porch but also make it inviting. Hopefully over our long weekend we can concrete the plan and begin the work on it.

            Grad school has recommenced for me this week. This class I am currently taking is about special education so I am really looking forward to that. I will take another class after this one to complete my FAFSA requirements, but then I look forward to having a break over the summer and trying to make some progress on our home.

            I know this is a short post this time. I hope to have a philosophical one next time! Until then, may Adonai bless you and your homes
