The Latest

It's been an interesting week at work.Three of the rural middle schools in the district are going to combine with their nearby high schools.  This is due to budget cuts and low enrollment at the three mid schools.  Crownpoint Mid, where I work is one of the schools being consolidated.  There's lots of questions left unanswered, but the deal has been approved by the board.  We are praying for those that may loose their jobs or have to move to another school in the district.  While the decision does not affect our family, it does serve to confirm that now is a good time to move on!  As I sat in the staff meeting, hearing the news from our principal, and watching the reaction of staff, I wished we could stop and just pray.  Many staff, parents, and students are upset.  It's times like this that you realize what a comfort the sovereignty of God is.  Please pray for our school.  I want the year to end well, especially for the students. 

In other news, we had another moving sale today.  We had over four tables of stuff in the morning, and now we are down to just one.  We were able to sell most of our stuff!  We may have one final sale right before we leave to get rid of the the last few rugs, our card/dinner table and a few other items.  Praise God that we were able to sell most of the stuff.  The boys did well as they watched more of their toys get sold off!  Even their beds are gone!  (We call night time camping now, since they are using their sleeping bags!) 

I continue to read about Asian history.  It feels like I will never be able to learn enough, but I do know more now than when I started!  We have less than a month to go before we move.  We are getting excited about the next phase of our move, but it is also sad.  Saying goodbye is never fun, and we find ourselves doing more and more things "for the last time".  We took the boys to a park in Gallup the other day-we have driven past it hundreds of times, but figured we should stop and finally check it out.  It was their first and last time to be at that park. 

It's been an interesting week!  Thanks for your prayers and support.  We cannot do this alone.  Happy Mothers Day!  God bless -mekj
