Dropping back in!

Did you think I had forgotten about you? Of course not. Unfortunately there are priorities in my life right now that keep putting the blog on hold....you know finding a job! Thank you for your prayers on the job search front, please keep praying for clear direction!

Here are the numbers:

1. 140 jobs applied for!
2. waiting, waiting, waiting
3. 14 interviews done (phone or 30 minute type ones at a conference)
4. more waiting

Now I'm just waiting to see if I get invited to an on campus interview, plus according to everyone it is still really early in the process. Again I really appreciate all your prayers! This has been a time when I've learned to trust God in a bigger way. I trust Him for peace in a decision, I trust Him to work to find jobs for both me and DH!

(this is with some of my handspun!)

Okay, lots of knitting has been happening too! It is a great stress relief! I'm just going to show pictures, so hop on over to ravelry if you want to see full details (or leave me a comment and I will try to get back with you)

    Happy New Year, Leah, and good luck with the job search. Nice projects! I really like the second two; are they the same pattern? Love the colors of the middle one, especially.

    I hope you get something soon. Something you'll love as well.

    The shawls are lovely lovely things.

    As always, beautiful knitting ( and I know because I saw them for real!). Praying without ceasing too! Faith can move mountains!
    Off to the lake with Dad- just the two of us for the weekend. We are finally off together and alone :)
    Love you!

    Beautiful knits. Keep praying and don't forget Micah 7:8 "Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me." I'll keep you in my prayers.
