Day 660 - April 6 - Dry Bones

I apologize for the infrequent frequency of the blog these days. I'm fighting three things here - first, this new schedule is wreaking havoc with my routine; when you work at different times every day, it makes it fairly difficult to work out a schedule you can stick to consistently. Second, I have no real insight to offer you about anything lately, which makes me question whether I should even bother putting something up here - if there's nothing of value to offer, why bother offering anything, you know? And thirdly, there's not much to tell here on the home front.

Of course, as soon as I typed that I remembered that I'm supposed to tell y'all how pleased and excited we are for May to be approaching (which puts the lie to at least the third item in my list above). Next month, Joélle and her husband Alan are graduating from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago! Apart from the fact that this is pretty cool news and we're immensely proud of them for the accomplishment, they're moving back to Morgan Hill right afterward! They've arranged for a place to live which is about 10 minutes away from the house, so they're going to be close by again. All of us are very pleased! Additionally, Joélle wants to come work for Connor as a caregiver, which will a) look good on her resumé, b) help Cherié out immensely, c) help them with their finances, and d) give Connor and Joélle (and the rest of us, too) time together again. So we're seeing that as a win/win(win/win) situation!

You can be praying for them as well as they prepare to move out to California - especially that Alan will obtain a job sufficient to provide for them and which will allow him to continue his education. Both of them will earn Bachelor of Arts degrees in Pre-Counseling and Biblical Studies this May, and Alan is planning on going on to get his Masters in Psychology as well. He's got some prospects lined up, so please be praying that they'll be guided to the right job for them.

Finally, let me give you the lyrics to a song that's been in my head these past few days. Connor gave them to me, and they're pretty significant to both of us. They're the bridge from a song by Campaign called "Running after You" -

Give us strength to follow when the road gets narrow;
We will run, Lord, we will run.
Give us perseverance, let us not grow weary,
We will run, we will run.

In this race, we must remember - Jesus is the goal.

A cry of my heart...

Eric
