Job Update

My husband's last day of work was Friday, April 30. That afternoon on his way home, he got a phone call offering him a 2 month contract job (which he had interviewed for the evening before). He had one day off between jobs, as it worked out it was our son G's birthday!, and began his new job on Tuesday, May 4.

We are so thankful for God's provision! It is "only" 2 months, but that is 2 months more income and 2 months more time to continue looking for permanent work.

We decided this time to pursue any opportunity that presents itself regardless of location, and let God open or close the doors. So while we would like to stay here, if God's plan is for us to move, we would do so willingly.

Please pray with us for a permanent job to be found, and for my husband to remain diligent to the job search during these 2 months. His new job is quite a bit different than what he was doing before, and there has been/is a learning curve. So his brain cells are quite occupied. :0) But we know the search cannot end just because he is currently getting paid.

God is faithful. And we are grateful!

  1. Hooray for God!! Another job - that's awesome. Talk about your daily bread, eh?! I imagine it makes the story of the Israelites being told to only collect what they need for one day hit home. Great object lesson for next year's TOG. Blessings.

  3. I had the same thought that Teacher/Mom had when I heard that his new job was for two months. I will pray for this new job search and selfishly will be praying that it is something close to home! :p

    Thanking God for His provision (and I love that he had a day off on your son's birthday!!!). Praying for Him to continue to guide, lead and provide for your family!
