Siesta....Fiesta!!!

So in my time of unemployment I will be going to Mexico for a mission trip in February. I wanted the opportunity to go again someday and that time has come. I have all the time in the world. I also have the financial support. I am so excited to see some of these kids again. I thought I might never see them again.

So pray for me and the team going. Also pray that if Trevor is meant to go that God would provide financially for him. Pray that my passport comes back in time with my new name on it. I never updated it after I got married.

So excited!!!!!!!

Noviembre

It's kind of boring at the Small home. Trevor was at a retreat over the weekend and then he went hunting for a couple days and I have been home by myself. I did however change the oil in Manda's car for a free massage. It was the first time I have done an oil change without Trevor there to coach me. So if you need your oil changed call me up I will give you a good deal.

Despite being by myself on Saturday I did manage to go to my high school and enjoy an evening of rockin' accapella and even got to sing with Eleventh Hour which I was a founding member of. And I got to see The Fault Line which is a bunch of studly guys that were on Americas Got Talent that basically put on a rock concert of voices only music.....the best kind. The voice is the only instrument made by God. :)

Trevor is still looking for employment and still diligently pursuing opportunities but nothing so far has been offered to him and nothing is for certain. I've been a little restless lately because of it. But its almost Thanksgiving and even when it seems like we have been slighted these last few months we are still very blessed and have a lot to be thankful for.

I am excited for Thanksgiving this year, I am making the pumpkin pie and I have never made that kind before. I am also going to make my own whip cream...which I have made before and it is much better than aerosol can cream.

Unemployment

So this week was the first week me and my husband have both been unemployed. It is really weird not having anything to do. I felt like such a hobo on Friday when me and Trevor stopped by the thrift store after we dropped my dad off at the airport. I did manage to score 2 pairs of jeans totaling less than $10 total.

Trevor had an interview on Thursday so pray about that. And the big opportunity that he is trying for is one step closer but we still have no idea if that will happen. This whole situation is going to get stressful really soon if nothing happens. But I tell you what, I have never felt more rested in my life.

This weekend Trevor and I participated in "Leaf Busters" which was an ministry our church did in the community where we raked leaves for single moms, the elderly and anyone else that needed some leaf raking assistance. 150+ volunteers went to various communities in Dayton and raked leaves. We raked specific assigned yards of people who had been nominated and then as time permitted we raked other yards. Our 3rd yard was not an "assigned" yard, we (Trevor and I's team of 9 volunteers) saw a little old lady down the road struggle to rake her leaves. We went over and she said that her back was killing her and we offered to help. She was so grateful and wanted to pay us which we of course refused. It took us about 30 minutes to do her whole yard and I think it had taken her about 45 minutes to rake the small pile to the street that she had done before we noticed us. I do believe God was glorified and Marie (the lady) was blessed. I pray that we made an impact for Christ in the communities of Greater Dayton.

Although now my back is killing me, but it was worth it to help those in need. :)
