Summer Work

I've been working a lot so far this summer. Trying to get in more than 40 hours when I can. I've written two articles to be published in an Old Testament Survey Study Guide. I've got my doubts about their being good enough, but we'll see.

I've tried to spend good amounts of time with my family as well. We went on a trip to San Antonio, and Amy and I got to spend a night in a McKinney bed and breakfast while the kids stayed at her brother's. It was nice to have that night alone for our 7th anniversary.

That's right. Amy and I have been married 7 years. It has gone by so fast. I can't believe we already have a child that is almost three. It seems like our lives are getting away with us, and we have barely even got started. We've been out of college and married for 7 years, and I'm still in school working on yet another Master's degree, working a job that just doesn't get it done well enough, so that she is forced back into the workplace--away from our kids where she really wants to be.

The Lord has a plan for all of this. I'm not sure what it is yet, but He will bring something good out of it.
