You're right. Thanks for the freedom to call it what it is. Some weeks are really tough, but definitely sanctifying, so praise the Lord. <BR/><BR/>How are Amanda and Diana? Did you have a great visit? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipe card. Gotta go. Oh... and your cute teacher clock is on my table and I think of you daily. Thanks again!!Jamie Buttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733222448380855317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26263396.post-40234036965451602302007-03-15T11:20:00.000-04:002007-03-15T11:20:00.000-04:00Jamie,I enjoyed reading your long post this mornin...Jamie,<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your long post this morning. A good break in my day back to work. Also, very encouraging to hear how the Lord is reminding you of the seasons in life..and HIS FAITHFULNESS through it all. Sometimes I just think about being at home and long for it so strongly. I am trying to learn to take that and be thankful for that longing and the Lord's grace in that. And then I praise the Lord for the time I do have to devote to our home. We call this time in seminary "a season", and perhaps we are afraid to call it a trial....but I really do think it is just that. This is a hard time. Working full time, knowing that this isn't how life will always be, unknown future, long nights with a husband who is occupied with studies, days of extreme tiredness...on both our parts. Anyway, sometimes I can see this as a trial that the Lord is using to sanctify Eron and I...and the same for all the other people here too I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Jamie for the update. Hope you have a great weekend with the fam!<BR/><BR/>I saw Alicia today in chapel and we're still on for the 29th. That's only two weeks from today! Yea!Kari Plevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774494483431488813noreply@blogger.com
