Yesterday morning we had our first homestudy meeting. It went really well, and we are working on our "homework," trying to get appointments for medicals (somehow Jonathan no longer has a family doctor?? because he hasn't needed to see one for too long?? and my doctor will be trying to fit me in since normally i'd be waiting about a year to get in for a complete physical. We've got 17 pages to fill out about ourselves (each of us)... :-)

It's exciting to be moving ahead! Our next appointment is almost a month away because our social worker will be away for a bit... but i guess that gives us a little more time to get our stuff written up.

This morning, one of our kids chose to pray about Jonathan's work situation. He's feeling ready to move on. (Several reasons for that and i won't get into it all right now). Anyway, this afternoon, we got a call from a place he applied a while ago. He'll be talking with them on Monday (hopefully) and I guess we'll see where it goes from there. We had been talking about him going to New Holland (they've been desparately trying to hire people for a while now), so if this other one doesn't work out he'd be trying there. I just thought it was REALLY neat how we just prayed about it, and there was the phone call... even if we don't know yet that it's an "answer to prayer" it is encouraging!
