Spiritual Warfare

I have been listening to a bunch of podcasts at work this week.  Most of these have been Mark Driscol in Seattle.  I decided to include his series on spiritual warfare this time.  As many of you may know I am the world's biggest scaredy cat, so making this decision was kind of a big deal.  For my whole life, just hearing stories of people's encounters with evil spirits has terrified me (with the aid of my imagination) especially when alone, or in the dark.  So the morning after listening to the 1st of 4 teachings, I couldn't even get through getting ready for work without going back to our bedroom for the comfort of Luke.  However, I continued the series at work that morning...I was super jumpy, but I realized a few things.  Our God is Great and Powerful!!  Though I have always known this, and prayed it when frightened, this series really made it sink in.  Understanding more about the devil and his demons helped me to understand the Goodness, Grace, Mercy, Power, Love, and so many more attributes of our Fantastic God.  I learned a lot, there are frightening stories, but there are also so many great teachings in this series.  It helps lead to repentance, as most good bible teaching does.  I suggest it greatly (as long as you're not living alone)  ;)

Lazy Saturday...we missed you

Well, life is fast paced once again.  Traffic is really bad for me because the highways here have traffic lights on them.  I used to get irritated at the access roads with limited ramps to the highway, but I now appreciate them.  Anyway, work is going well for me.  I have met many nice people, but our work load this week was so light that at least 20 of my 40 hours were spent listening to podcasts and playing solitare on my ipod.  (which I love) 
Luke had a rough work day last Sat.  He spent 18 hours buffing, stripping, and waxing one building!  But he doesn't have to work today and we are very much enjoying the time together. 
I have started a new crosstich project and have found it to be greatly thereputic in the evenings. 
Our Valentine's/Luke's birthday (feb18) weekend was very nice.  We had lunch out, had a joint party with Krista and Drew(feb 14), and kicked booty at the "Newly-Weds" game!
We are getting plugged into our Church and have found a Sunday School (small group) that we really enjoy.
I know that this is scattered and broad, but its the best I can do to cover the last few weeks. Love you all!!!

Employment

I am now employed with a staffing agency, I will work through them for Wells Fargo.  From what I understand I will basicly be doing the same thing as I was doing at Chase. Yipee.

Job #1

Luke had an interview for a security guard position today. It went well, and he was scheduled to go back for another tomorrow when he got a call from the guy he interviewed with the first Monday we were here. We had given up on that job because it wouldn’t be a complete part-time position. (Which is what we want for him) It turns out that the guy talked to his bosses and they are willing to make it what Luke needs it to be. So, he starts a week from Wednesday and he doesn’t have to go on anymore interviews! Our God is soooo good!!
