Lauren becomes a Christian

This afternoon, Charles was talking to Lauren outside about a variety of things, and the subject of praying to Jesus came up. Charles told Lauren that she can ask Jesus to live in her heart and forgive her sins. Lauren told us that she had thought about that a lot lately and had already asked Jesus to come into her heart. Both Charles and I were so happy!

At the age of 5 years old, she has already made the most important decision in her life. Now as her parents, we still have to guide her and make sure she understands what that actually means and how to apply the lessons of Jesus Christ in her life. Luckily we won't have to do this alone. We will keep turning towards Jesus for his wisdom and keep partnering with great Christian school and church.

I am so proud to be Lauren's mom!

Woos at Work

On Friday, Boeing announced they were consolidating their two core Accounting sites. The Core Accounting work done in So Cal is now being transferred to St Louis. The company is offering everyone a relocation package and a job in St Louis if they choose to move; otherwise you will receive a severance package. There will still be a small office in So Cal with up to 40 people. I am one of those lucky people. Since I am on a current special project, I will be able to remain in So Cal and still work from my home. The special project is suppose to be done by Dec of this year, which I will then have to move to another job.

This announcement at work is another example of how God is really working in my life. At first, the best reason to take this special project was so I could work at home. Now I see the best reason to take the special project is so I can continue working. There are many times I don't understand the path that I am on, and many times I find myself really frustrated. But this Friday I was reminded that God's plan is really the only plan for me. He is in control of my life and I will remain faithful to his calling.
