How Do You Score

Today our administrator came for lunch at the clinic. We are always a little edgy when he shows up! But today he brought a personality test for each of us. Actually it was fun guessing each others scores before we revealed our answers.
I believe that we have all lived together here long enough to really know one another. Most of us were able to guess correctly .
We seem to have many type D which is a dominating personality. In other words , we have a lot of chiefs and not to many Indians! With 15 females and 3 men that can make for interesting days sometimes! But all in all, we get along great. Did we learn from this experience? Why yes, we did! Never ever call Cynthia the queen bee! Mr. Diener may never be the same! Fortunately, my type I personality helped me to keep my big mouth shut this time! I may not fair so well next time. I do like to talk alot.

New Beginnings

New beginnings is just another way of saying,that life changes in an instant. We have only to wake each morning to find this out. Upon looking out our east windows,I am overwhelmed with God's majesty each day. Never is there a sunrise that is exactly the same. Never is there a day that is exactly the same.God gives us new grace and mercy every morning. He is abundant in His blessings for us.

This summer God has graced my family with much of His grace and mercy. We have experienced many changes, that we could have done with out. But none the less,He felt it necessary to give us the opportunity to turn to Him often.Even though we have close relationships between us,we still are each unique in our own way. Therefore we react differently to any given situation.

Our new beginnings start with our Mom. Once the leader of this pack, she is now a follower,looking for guidance in her ever confusing world. Making decisions for her is difficult. There are days that I feel like a tyrant taking away her freedom. But I must remember that it is my Heavenly Father making the changes,not me,not my brother. So we trudge along,praying continually,that we are following God's wishes for our Mom.

Our youngest daughter, is healing from thyroid cancer, Amen! And again,we have been asked to trust in the things we cannot see. Alex is healing from this illness,but she is now going through a life change with her spouse. Hearts are breaking ,doors are locked and we face another new beginning.I pray for them, that they may have open hearts to each others fears and anger. I pray that they will find their own way in this world and be better for it.

My brother is going to be a grandpa for the first time. Yes,another new beginning! I know that God will bless Curtis and Kaci with a beautiful child to love. And Mike will have his little side kick to spoil!

New beginnings. They are blessings from God even when we are not able to see the good in it. Someday He will show us His ultimate plan and it will be great!
