At Peace

We discovered today that one can take a digital photo of an official transcript without the words COPY showing up as it does when you make a photocopy. These are things we are learning as Rachel continues to apply for paraprofessional teacher aid jobs. She still hasn't received her Oklahoma certification in the mail, but they have cashed the check she sent it with it. She has applied in Jerusalem and Judea, is starting applications for Samaria, but so far hasn't gotten to the uttermost parts of the world. Hard to do that without your own car; that remains a prayer request.

But speaking of transportation, Rachel has recently taken some concrete steps to getting involved in the singles group at church, and it turns out that one of the women lives less than half a mile away. So that should help her get rides when needed. Another side benefit of joining this group--she has found out that she is one of the youngest ones in the group, so maybe she'll quit whining about being on only one her age not yet married!

Actually, I shouldn't be so rough on her. She has been very emotionally even-keeled all summer. She hasn't been stressed out, and she has been basically a happy person. That has meant that I too haven't been stressed or upset. The Lord has been answering prayers in that regard, and I give him thanks. I had been worried about potential conflict now that my nest isn't so empty, but God has helped us to get along well and be at peace, for which I thank Him.
