What’s going on with Andrea ???

It has been a long time since I posted.
The year went by so quickly it makes my head spin. I did not feel old until this year!
Constantly I am tired and wore out.
I left Wal-Mart in the middle of March this year, and moved on to a different position with Dishnetwork. I did not know that a sitting down job really gets me at the core.
No no, I love it, but it is very demanding. My body does not move (thats not a good thing when your a heavy person) but my brain runs a marathon every day.
Every single day I learn something new. Every call is a new challenge!
But guess what???
I LOVE IT!
The only downside on this job is….
I haven’t been in Church since August, the last time I set foot in our Church was on August 10th. At first it was that I was on a shift where I got home between 2:30am and 3:30am, than there was the hope of getting a new shift since we had shiftbids coming up in October.
Well October came it we didnt get a single bid.
I did however get a new shift on December 13th. Unfortunately it wasnt what I wanted. Now my shift is from 2pm to 11pm. But I have to work Sundays. And on Sundays we have to come in earlier. So again I am waiting for another shiftbid.
But with God all things are possible, I just have to wait for His timing and everything will be ok.
Currently I am fighting a bronchitis, but I am over the worsest part of it I think. Fever is gone, just losing my voice here and there.
My son came back home for a little while and now a week ago moved out and found a place to live in the city. He also got himself a job starting the 1st of the year with the Roanoke Hospital as a assistant manager in there cafeteria.
I am very happy for him!
The only thing I do not like is that he tries so hard to talk me into talking to his wife. Yes they are really married, and she is pregnant. He says his wish would be that I talk to her and forgive her for what she done. I already forgave her but that does not mean that I have to go down the same road again.
I keep telling him give it time, time heals all things, and when God wants me to have contact with my daughter-inlaw it’ll happen sometime.
My husband is doing real well since the surgery. And praise God that neither his or my company are planning on any lay-offs.
I think even if people lose their jobs they still want to watch tv (perhaps even more) and people also trying to fix their cars themselfs or buy parts to let someone fix it for them. For now we are in good shape!
My Mom is sill very very ill! She cant beat this throat cancer thing. I havent heard my Mom’s voice in about a year or longer, and it is sad. I miss her voice, since that was the only thing I had since I live in the States.
My grandbaby is doing real well and he is turning 2 on December 30th. I havent seen him since August neither because of his mom’s and my work schedule it just doesnt work out for us to get together. But we are planning to meet January 1st before I go to work!
I am still so happy about our home, but we have issues with the fireplace. Smoke keeps rolling in even with little wind outside. I ordered a smoke guard that should help but what we really need is a chimney cap and neither me or hubby knows anything about installing such a thing. We have no clue!!!
My Chimney on top of the roof that part is totally open, and any little wind goes right down to the fireplace. Many times we had super smoke in the house because of that.
Also we had lots of issues with wood. The first guy was very expansive the second guy sold us rotten wood that wouldnt burn but more likely melted. And it was light as styrofoam.
Now we finally found a guy that delivers better wood but it is all hardwood and it takes a long time to get a good fire going.
So guy’s you have a update now. I will post again as soon as I can.
I always think of you all and especially of the friends and family of my Church. I miss out on so much I know.
Keep God first !
Love and Blessings
Andrea

Hi Andrea, Glad for the update &, yes, we too miss you at church and will continue to pray that it would be God’s will that your schedule or circumstances would change to allow you to fellowship and worship with us again. The more we know Jesus, the more there is to know about Him.
