Changes

Well, this year is different for the Hewes family. First of all, I have started working only on the weekends at night. Yes, I work every Friday, Sat., Sun. night from 7p-7a. The reason I have changed to this unusual schedule is to accomodate some changes. Mark is back in school! He is a full time student at the University of South Alabama. He is trying to finish up what he started years ago. His major is in Communications/Public Relations. This is good b/c he has work experience in this field. Not only is Mark going to school and juggling the demands of a wife and two young children, he is also working part time from home selling promotional products. He has been doing this job for several years. The girls are doing well. Ella is in 4k at Eastern Shore Baptist. She LOVES it and is learning so much. Morgan starts mom's day out there today! She will be going three days a week. Because I have to work on Sat. night I ran into the problem of going to church. I get off at 7am, and the church we have been going to 30 miles away does'nt start til 11a. There is no way that I could stay awake for church service, eat lunch and only get a few hours of sleep b/f another 12hour shift. So, the fam and I have decided to go to a church right up the street from us. It has a 8am service that we go to and a great Sunday School program for childre and adults. Although it has been sad to leave our old church, I think this new church is going to be good for us. This is something that we pray about everyday. We also struggle with the idea of not wanting to stay here on the Gulf Coast. We enjoy being so close to our families and appreciate their help, but we greatly miss the Birmingham area too. We miss our dear friends there. Who kknows where we will be when Mark graduates. Ijust pray that God will guide us and open the door to great opportunities for this family.
