My husband got a job!

I’m so EXCITED and, honestly, a little bit scared.

I’m a little ashamed to admit the scared part.  I suppose it’s normal though.  Because everyone goes through a little apprehension when change comes.  Even if it is good change.

I have a testimony from these past 6 months that would take too much time to read!  But the coolest story comes from these last couple of weeks.

Since March, I have worked two jobs.  My first job is here.  My second job has been working for an office in an accounting department.  It has been a great blessing to work there.

However, for the past several weeks, I have been feeling like God wanted me to quit.  It didn’t make sense to me.  I didn’t want to quit without my husband having something. 

But the day before the storm hit, I was praying.  I prayed, “Lord if you really want me to quit, I need to see it and know, crystal clear, that it is You.”

Immediately, a scripture popped into my mind, “Matthew 22:7.”  I turned to it.

“This is my son…..Listen to Him!!”  I was speechless.

So, after the storm and recovery, I went in and quit.  I was crying while I told the CFO, who happens to be a good friend.

“Don’t cry!  It’s okay.  We were going to take all but one of the accounts and move them to our office in Arizona.  We were going to keep just one of them for you, so you would still be able to work here, because we like you.”

Sometimes God asks us to do things in faith and we don’t understand why.  Because, that next day, my husband got the call that invited him to sign on at the new company.

Things I have learned during this journey:

Trust
Faith
God’s Provision
Patience
Endurance/Long Suffering
How to have joy….it’s different from happiness.

I don’t know what you go through.  I have a feeling you aren’t any different from me.  You struggle with the same things I do; consistant prayer time, respecting your husband, disciplining kids, how to keep a clean house.  But there’s one thing we all have in common—the Love of Our Savior. 

His love is so deep and wide you cannot escape it.  He will not let you go.

My prayer is that you will remember that.  No matter where you are in your walk or your life.  The difficult or the delightful; He remains constant.
