God is Good

We have been waiting out the summer in the job department for Jared. He is working part time this summer which is perfect for us right now, with my schooling, Cal, and his prepping for a PhD program. Today, Jared called yesterday with some good news. He says that there is a possibility that he will be back at Covenant working part time this next year. He would be teaching one 8th grade New Testament class, coaching varsity football and possibly heading up the varsity wrestling. We have to figure out the details but if this is what God has in store, it would be perfect! Today, TCC (Tarrant County College- south campus) emailed him and would like to interview to possibly teach a religion course in the Spring. :)
In the area of prepping for a PhD program, Jared has been busy this summer keeping up on his Greek and.... well, I can't tell you what else, because I have been too busy to pay attention really. Probably something with New Testament, as that is what he wants to specialize in. He needs three good recommendation letters to apply to a program. Right now he has one, Adrian Smith, his New Testament professor from Westminster. This year he is going to audit a class at Redeemer Seminary (which use to be his school, Westminster) to hopefully gain the recommendation of a new NT prof. Then, after that we would love for him to get a masters degree from University of Dallas in Humanities.
This probably sounds like a lot of schooling and ridiculous to some people, but Jared, Cal and I are so excited about all of the plans... though God could have a very different plan. :) Our family goals right now are to raise a Godly little boy, get me through school and prepare Jared for a PhD. This isn't most family's dreams, but it is ours. We know we won't have a house or more kids any time soon, and we have a peace about that. God always takes care of his children.... so I know he will take care of us :)
