Heritage High School

Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our new high school is amazing! Jordan, Bre, & I went on a tour with our group on Thursday. It is amazing! Jordan is so excited. So, were are assuming (we all know what that means) that if he failed the CRCT we would have been told. Who knows? We had fun going through the high school though. Jordan's math teacher and my wonderful friend, Mrs. Angie Trentham is amazing. She had them feel a lot better about starting a big, new high school. They are all excited.
We (Bre too) got to see the band room, which is enormous and astonishing! This is where she will be doing summer band (for middle school) next month. She has reached $183 dollars. So we will make her first payment at summer band and the rest will start the 2nd payment. We are praying that it comes as needed, because otherwise she won't be able to go. However, we have faith God will provide!

I, on the other hand, start my classes of a new term on Tuesday. So, my break is over. My husband thinks he has gotten the job I typed about a few posts ago. We just have not heard officially.
Until next post..................

Forever in His grip,

School & Other Stuff

Hello to everyone. I can only assume that everyone is still reading our blog. We don't get many comments. Anyway, I have finished my term at school and passed both of my classes with a "B". YIPPEE!! I am so excited. I only have 2 terms left and will be done in December.
On another school note, Jordan retakes his CRCT today. I have to have him at school at 8:30 and he has been asking everyone to pray for him during 8:30-11:30 this morning. We are praying for his passing score of at least 800.
We need jobs for Bre to do if anyone can help in that area. We have her first payment, but she needs to be doing stuff to earn the next. The second payment will be due in September.
The last prayer request and update is for my husband. He is trying to get another job within Sam's. He has been stressed and very unhappy in his current position for some time now. So he has a chance to go to the Bakery and be the team leader (dept. mgr) up there. It IS a cut in pay, but not by much. We also know that if this is where God wants him, then it will be made available, pay cut or not. I know with me working at the school pays significantly less than my old job.....I have been much happier and less stressed. God is awesome and can provide. Until our next post, forever in His grip.

Lots of love,
Mark, Renee, Jordan, & Bre

We need your HELP!

Hello everyone. Remember in the update post I typed that we would be asking for help? Well that time is here. Bre received her first message about her first trip in 7th grade band. They are going to Orlando March 25-29, 2009. It will cost her $600 for the entire trip. We are looking for little jobs that people can give her to do to raise her own money. (She is out for summer break right now). However, we do have loving family and friends out of town that may feel gracious enough to give a donation. :) Most everyone should know my email or phone number. We want to start this now so we can raise the money because her first deposit payment is due in August. We have $150 a month that she needs to meet for Sept., Nov., Jan., and Feb. in order to go. So any help is appreciated. I want her to be able to know what it is like to go on her first band trip without her parents telling she can't go because we don't have the money.

Thanks! Love to all,
Mark & Renee

My family

I do NOT like my picture made, but I thought since it was Mother's Day I better have one done. So this is me.

This is one of my favorite family pictures. We don't get together often enough to have one done.
