Ladies Retreat

This weekend was so nice . We had a ladies retreat at church and for the first time in the year and a half that we have been there I felt welcome. Juli Dozier and I rode up together and had an absolute blast. If we do not get jobs in Ft. Worth she could really be the answer to my prayers for a friend at church. We had so much fun and really got to get to know each other. There were so many great people that stayed the night on Friday night. We played Crazy Bridge, put on a fashion show, ate chocolate until we could eat no more and just enjoyed each other. God knew I needed that. I do feel that if we stay we could have a close group of friends to hang out with. There really are more people than just us that want friends and want to be apart at that church. We will see what happens. We are praying for God to place us where he wants us and with that give us a group of friends that we can have lifelong relationships with. Keep praying for guidance for the our little family.

Looking for the neon light!

Good news first.... We got Brian's car looked at. I agreed that if it cost less than $200 to fix it we would fix it. We had it looked at and it cost $150 to fix it. God is good! He knew that we couldn't really afford a car for another month or so. Brian has worked at York every day for the past week so he has still been able to make a little money despite not having a car. He has gotten to drop me off at A Points and come back to get me around 8:30 so I've been able to keep working that job too. :) Again, God is good.

We have been talking about moving out of the Houston area into the DFW area for quite some time now. We would love to be close to Caleb, Sandra and Sam and at a church that we just love. We would also love for me to make more money teaching and Ft. Worth area districts pay quite a bit more. Needless to say we have been praying for God to give us a neon light on what he wants us to do and where he wants us to end up. We want so badly to be in place where we have good friends and feel like we are at home when we are at church. Other than Impact we just haven't felt that while in Houston. Don't get me wrong, there are some amazing people in Houston and we love being close to our parents, but we just have never felt at home here. We have decided that if I am going to continue to teach I might as well teach in a place that I can make what I make at three jobs in Houston at one job in Ft. Worth. We have also decided that it would be great for our kids to have cousin Sam and the Crum and Shewmaker kids near us as they are growing up. DFW would be close enough that we would still be able to see our parents often but we would also have the other things we are looking for when we begin our family. What we don't want to do is get our wishes and God's will mixed up. We want to be in a place that is good for our spiritual well-being as well as our marriage. We need a neon light. If God wants us to stay in Houston then doors in Ft. Worth need to close and door's in Houston need to open as far as a job for Brian goes. If God wants us in Ft. Worth we need to both find jobs. We truly need guidance. This is such an important time of our life and we need to make the decision that is going to be best for us and our children in the long run. Please be praying for a neon light for the Lee's and for God to continue to provide for us while Brian is looking for work. Life is good! We love each other and have been very blessed to have this time in Houston. Now we just need to figure out if Houston is where we need to stay or if God wants us to move on.
