Ok, I'm Losing It !

Ok, a few quick updates and huge prayer request.We're almost done with school. I think we have 2 1/2 weeks left! And we survived, LOL.Next year we're going "classical". I'm a little nervous about that but we'll work it out.

We visited a church on Sunday. We'll be going again next week. They have a small homeschool group and I've already made one friend! I got invited to park day which was today but Hannah had a dentist appt so we couldn't make it.

Ok, now for the prayer request. Long story short. Michael's not traveling anymore (right now). He's also NOT the DM of Abq. They decided not to give it to him. They decided that they'd use him as a "trainer" for the company. You know, what he's been doing the last 4 years! Basically what all this means is that he lost the promotion, yet they still expect him to train the Abq staff, then he's supposed to start traveling again training people in various offices. Well, the whole reason we moved here was to settle down! We were done with the training and he applied for a position where we could settle down. So, we've decided that this company no longer offers what we need personally as a family, and we're moving on. Michael applied for a postition in Austin, Tx. today with one of his clients. His client sounded pretty excited that he was applying, so I think he's got a pretty good chance of getting the job. Anyways, we need prayer for wisdom right now. We've got some logistics to work out if we're indeed moving again. This whole thing is from God and we're clearly seeing it. We literally felt God asking us to choose the family or his company. We're choosing the family, but we're really quite shaken up over all this. He's been with this company for 7 years. Prayers would be greatly appreciated! And in case anyone's wondering why he lost the promotion. They've just decided that he's so great at the operations side of the business, they're going to keep him there because he's so valuable.(blah-blah-blah) I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that he didn't do anything "wrong". Oh, and by the way, they knew in February that they weren't going to promote him. He found out on Saturday, 2 days before he was supposed to start as DM. Nice huh? You can tell we're a little frustrated with them!

Ok, on another note. If you could also pray for my grandfather as well. He was just diagnosed with lung cancer and I guess it's pretty aggressive. They said that when you find out that you have this particular one, it's already spread somewhere else.

And a praise on this same note. My grandmother in Washington, who's been dying of lung cancer, might not even have it! Can you believe that? She got a new Dr. who looked her over and said she was healthy and to plan on "living" because she's got awhile. He ordered chest x-rays to see what's going on, and they couldn't find any spots. They've ordered a CAT scan to get a better look, but if she still has lung cancer, it's the slowest growing cancer on the face of the earth! LOL
