Waiting Patiently...Sort of

So, today is my first Monday home. I'm trying not to over do it on the first day (hence the reason I'm taking a break to blog). Last Saturday was the 3rd and final babyshower - it's such a blessing to have friends and family that care so much. Yesterday church was great; we met a couple that we've seen there for a while, but we've just never talked to. Johnny and Vanessa - they're cool people. They remind me a lot of Zach and I. Then, Monica (my stepmom) came over and checked our new place and we went to Babies R Us to get the last of the essentials cuz I really think this baby is going to be ready any day now - maybe that's just wishful thinking. I have a feeling that I'm going to do everything today - all the things that need to get done around the house - and by tomorrow I'm going to be bored out of my mind. :) That's something I would do. I'm going to have a hard time resisting going back to my office and seeing if they need help with anything. I'm sure I'll make do though.

Zach is doing pretty well. He applied at a restaraunt and went in for a second interview but we haven't heard back yet. We'll see where the Lord takes him. But, he is doing a little better at work because he started witnessing to a guy and a few days later his wife came to the Lord, so Zach's pretty stoked about that. He knows that his line of work is a prime place for sharing the Gospel, as so many of those men are in and out of prison or have just had it rough in life and you can see it in the way they talk and treat each other. I'm praying that a job will open up closer to home because it's really just the commute that's killing him. If that's the case we'll have to start figuring out child care. But, like I've been telling everyone else who asks, "We're playing it by ear." I'm not worried about how it's going to work out because that wouldn't be helping anybody. Faith is not the absence of doubt but the presence of belief - like Pastor Rick would say - and I believe.
