There is no other reason for my adding "in Greenland" other than I just love The Princess Bride.
I am unemployed and trying to listen to the voice of God. The voice of truth and trusting in Him. That has been a battle for me lately. I forget to be thankful, to remember that God's got my back, and that I really have enough and that He has a plan and that I can trust Him.
This week, I attended the funeral of the sister of a dear friend of mine. It was an unusual situation. Hard to explain, so I won't bother. I'm trying to remember to be faithful in prayer for her family.
I also learned of a tragic accident that took place in the life of Susana, the woman who is the writer of this blog. The accident happened on July 31, but I didn't read of it until Monday evening when I decided to catch up on my blog reading. My heart is aching for her. Please keep her and her precious family in prayer at this time.
Yesterday I subbed at the school I left in June. One of the librarian's babies was sick. It was so good to be back there. It felt like I never left. Also...it was very cool to know almost all of the kids' names and have them know me. I had missed them! I had a good day and I loved seeing all of my former colleagues. It was also a good feeling knowing that they seemed genuinely glad to see me too.
I really want to be employed as a school librarian again. It is hard wanting something that seems out of reach at the moment. Trying to count my blessings and use my time off wisely.

So glad you got to be in your old school yesterday, and being in the library is even better! Perhaps this is the beginning of an answer to your prayers.
I've also been thinking about the funeral... It was a painful one in so many ways, but it was right that we were there, especially for Adam.
My heart aches too for Susannah. I read about it a few weeks ago. Somehow in the midst of it all, God is good.
PS. We've been talking about watching "Princess Bride".
