Well, the weekend is over....boy, was it short. Saturday morning we left at 7:15am for Charlottesville. Brent stayed at the Job fair until 3:00pm. I went into Charlottesville and did what I do best...shop :) Things went well at the fair. He spoke with 3 different schools who have potential teaching positions. One is an hour from here in Virginia (Kenston Forest), one is in Asheville, NC, and the third is in Houston, TX (St. John's). So, they are all quite unique, but we're wanting to keep all options open. We've been feeling good about the Asheville school. It's called the Carolina Day School. There are multiple factors which make it appealing, so that's good.

It snowed like crazy in Charlottesville. I'll have to work on putting up a couple of pictures from the day. Then, today, it's said to get up to the 70s! If only it would continue that way! I am excited about the arrival of spring! Collegiate is on spring break this week. Brent will be on spring break from seminary the week that I have to travel to Kansas with work. Oh, we had some news given to us today at work: One of the senior examiners, who has been here for over 15 years, will be retiring at the end of April. I hate to say it, but I am so relieved. I do believe that things will have less of a paranoia-undertone with his absence. I truly hope to know where we're going by then!

Please, pray for patience, for both Brent and myself. We're both dealing with the job search in different ways. But, we both are anxious to know what the Lord has in store!

Where God leads me, He provides......What God requires, He empowers me to do.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your god is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)
