July held a bunch - Noah and Lasa went to FL with Josh, Noah got to spend a couple days hanging out with BOTH his birthparents, Noah and Anna attended Centrifuge Camp again, Noah got to cash in his Christmas tix to the Ed Sheeran concert, and Noah also went on his first ever date. Lasa had a birthday (8!) and registered for third grade. I got my Praxis test scores back and passed with flying colors. Then I was able to finally get my teaching certificate renewed. Phew! Noah has an official girlfriend now - Emberlynn - and I think he thinks he has officially arrived in life. Ha! And we squeezed in a couple trips to AL to be with my family and marked our annual end-of-summer nighttime swim off the to-do list. I got myself back to Bunco after missing for several months. The sad anchor of the month was having to attend divorce mediation. Nothing was accomplished except several more thousand dollars in attorney's fees. Then again, it was a very prayed up day, so I will have to insist that what came and did not come of that day is the Lord's answer to those prayers. I will shut my mouth from fretting or grumbling and simply keep watching for what He will unfold next. He is my defender and He is always doing something for my good and His glory. Yes, Lord!
