Proverbs 25

Aggh so yeah,I know its November and I was supposed to do a chapter of Proverbs for every day of October...yup that worked :p

So just so Im not doing a gazillion posts tonight,Im going to share a little bit about our week before I get into chapter 25.This week has been super busy and super stressful!Monday afternoon Steve found out he couldnt do his dissertation over summer because Studylink dont see it as full time study which=no student allowance (which is our main income).So he came home,told me and my first reaction was we're going to have to move to Tauranga! (he currently works at the hospital there and could get full time work there no problem).Meltdown time for me haha.I didnt see how it was possible he could find steady,stable,full time work in Hamilton.Hes tried before and it didnt work out.I have big issues with trusting that things will work out.But he was wonderful,put up with some hideous behavior from me,applied for 15 jobs that night,the next morning had 3 companies ring him wanting him to start straight away,the Wednesday morning had an intervier and got a job,WITH a big company,full time work,good pay and even a written contract (we've been burnt before when he didnt have things in writing).So how good is not only God for coming through for us? (some pretty heartfelt prayers were sent up I can tell you!).But how awesome is Steve for being proactive and getting out there and doing something about it?I married the best man ever!
Im feeling a bit nervous/anxious about him working full time.I havent had him gone 5 days a week since I was pregnant with Sienna,so it'll take some adjusting!And a lot of play dates to occupy the girls :p

So things were feeling slightly less stressful, then on Thursday I got a call from kindy 10 minutes after dropping the girls off because Isabella was sobbing her little heart out,on the way home we drove past our cat dead on the corner of our street.Now Im not normally a pet person and Ive never been super attached to any animals,but Bill was like a dog,he wormed his way in and I miss him like crazy already!It was soooo hard explaining it to the girls,Sienna didnt really care but Isabella has talked about it non-stop since.It did however mean that I could talk to her a lot about heaven,and even about salvation,so something good came out of it.Poor poppet keeps bringing it up and telling me shes sad.We're considering getting a puppy closer to christmas,but we'll see.Im fully aware I'll have to look after it :p

Oh and on Tuesday Isabella had her first school visit which she loved!So incredibly happy with our choice of school! (will put photos up another day)

Anyway Proverbs 25 verse 21-22 "If your enemy is hungry give him food to eat;if he is thirsty,give him water to drink.In doing this,you will heap burning coals on his head and the Lord will reward you".
Nice huh?!I've always loved this verse.I think how it applies to my life right now,is no matter how crap somebody treats me,no matter what someone else says,my job is to love them unconditionally! (and yes this verse does run through my head some days when I would rather not be kind and loving!).But at the end of the day,I feel like a better person,I can go to sleep feeling good about myself when I have treated some nasty person well.Not sure if thats very Christ-like,but its how I feel about this verse!
