Working for Michael Foods

As many of you know my employer in Minnesota has agreed to allow me to continue to work for them remotely in Colorado. This has been a tremendous blessing to us! This additional income is allowing us to move prior to selling our house in Minnesota...plus it is really helping for transition costs. They are a great company to work for!


I have set up an office in my brother-in-laws work shop! It is nice and quiet and the views are awesome! (see pictures). I do share the space with 4 cats and 3 dogs that wander in and out throughout the day! I have not yet determined if they make better office mates than humans! This space is starting to feel like home...I am really getting a lot done each day.


So far a typical day for me starts around 5:30 or 6:00 am Coloradao time, which is 6:30 or 7:00am Minnesota time. My first exercise each day is 15-20 minutes of devotions (I am working thru Romans) and prayer...then I jump right into my Michael Foods duties. At lunch time I do ministry duties; often meeting with someone from the church family. Then I come back and do more Michael Foods and ministry work. To this point the evenings have been filled with family stuff, or other church activies.


Today I met with Pator Kyle (see picture). We discussed our 6 month plans for the church. It was an exciting meeting. I will blog on that tomorrow!


Nancy, Sarah, Bekah, and Zeb are doing very well. It is starting to feel more like home instead of just a vacation! In the next couple days we will blog specifically on the family! Another upcoming blog topic will be on Steve and Donna Gilmore and their 4 kids...our host family! Many of you might be wondering what kind of family is this that is letting us live with them...well we will tell you!


Blessings! Thanks for the prayers. Please continue to pray our house sells soon.
