1. Praise God we have a responsible renter in the VA house as of Saturday! A divorced dad who wanted to specifically live near his daughter. He is an Air Force guy and not only does direct deposit with rent, but pays EARLY! Good things come to those who wait on the Lord!!!
2. November marks the beginning of holiday season, and I am feeling the pangs of missing my parents, especially my mom. It seems stupid, but every time I think that I don't have to go to Harrisonburg this year for the holidays and that I WON'T get to buy my mother a Christmas gift (and I truly loved shopping for her), it breaks my heart. I'm so sad at the thought I have no parents for the holidays. Last year I remember how happy my mother was when we brought Christmas dinner with us.
3. I am experiencing 7th grade girls small group fatigue. I have no options EVER to miss a Wednesday night unless I am sick. It is not them, it is me. Last week, all of them knew their memory verse even my autistic girl when I thought maybe only one or two would know it. Each of them were excited about reciting it to me.
4. New friendship -- it is often difficult to find another couple to be a couple friend with. We have been blessed with Will and Linda, who live in our neighborhood. Will is a church planter and Linda a homeschooling mom. Will was also on Danny's soccer team. Anyway, the four of us have really connected and have been spending significant time together. Linda and I also meet on Monday nights, but have become a daily part of each other's lives through email and texts. They are both mature believers and just plain "cool." The blessing has been that we all know this friendship is not accidental and not just about hanging out and having fun. We are all connected by the sense of community Christ calls us to. This is a first of its kind for the Dulins.
5. I got a pair of dark green cords from Old Navy and I love them.
6. My daughter asked for prayer that she would be more obedient to Danny and I. What a blessing a child with a heart that seeks to honor God is --- it humbles me to think of what God has done in her life.
7. My parents' Harrisonburg house goes on the market today. I suspect it won't get bought anytime soon, but its still a weird and bittersweet thought.
