Embarking on a new adventure
We got the call last week - a call we'd been hoping for, praying for, and anxiously awaiting for the past six weeks. The call letting us know that Jesse had got the job. A job even better than what he has now and one which is perfect. Perfect because it is from God.
God is good. I knew that from the start. But the past six weeks have really tested whether I believed it - believed it with all my being.
No, it hasn't been easy, especially when it seemed time was running out and nothing was turning up. For all our labors and effort, we were met with silence. It seemed very strange to us that every road we headed down was turning into a dead end. We finally came to realize, after we had exhausted every possibility we knew of to exhaust on our end, that this one was totally in God's hands. If Jesse got a job, it was going to be completely God's doing, not ours.
And that's when this whole turn of events came up out of the blue. Something we never even considered. And it was utterly God, not us. We couldn't have orchestrated it or pulled the right strings to make it happen.
Like I said, God is good. Even when we can't see or understand. I don't just say that, I really and truly believe it.
Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement to our family over the last two months. It means more than you'll probably ever know. We are excited to embark on this new adventure. Who knows what God has in store?!

Also, I'm glad to hear that you are at least having a few hours of good feeling during your pregnancy.

PRAISE THE LORD!!! What a blessing! Trust in God always works, doesn't it? I am always amazed by His perfect timing, both in my life and in others' lives.
I'm so happy for you and your family, Crystal. A new job and a new baby, congrats! I'm sure you'll get through the next few weeks just fine with the Lord's help. I'll be praying for you...
