What A Few Days!!

Whew....that's all I can say.


What a BUSY but great few days it's been!


I spent yesterday morning reconnecting with my friend from childhood who "ironically" just moved back to town last month. We had a great time getting our kids together to play and catching up. I know that I will NEVER replace the amazing friends that I have in Charlotte, but it definitely felt good to actually sit with another friend and sip tea again. God is good!


I then ran back to my parents house where I began opening the mail. I was blown away to open a $500 check from a friend of ours back in Charlotte. The timing was clearly of God because I had really been praying for God to hug me and remind me that He is in control of all of this adventure. I was shocked to find that gift and it immediately gave me peace.

I then received a phonecall from the person who I was supposed to meet with back in December regarding a Marketing Director position (back when I missed the interview because of the bad weather in Virginia). He asked if it would be possible to meet that afternoon at 4pm for our interview. I said "sure" and proceeded to jump in the shower and dig out my "fancy pants!"

Just as I finished getting ready for the interview, I received a phonecall from our amazing church back in Charlotte letting me know that they had collected money for C1 through their Christmas Eve offering and they would be mailing a check for over $2500 to the ministry! Praise GOD!!! If I hadn't been in my fancy pants with my cute high-heeled boots on, I may have actually run around the block screaming!

I then proceeded to the interview where after an hour and a half I was given a tentative job offer! Basically, if the Marketing Director position gets officially approved for the new budget, then I have been offered the job (possibly beginning as early as MONDAY - GULP!)!! I will hear on Saturday whether or not I begin work Monday!

And so, today has now been a whirlwind of finding out about daycares in the area and sorting through all the emotions. I can't help but praise God for all of these events. The thought of working full-time and being away from my kids is heartbreaking on many levels to me, but I can hardly look at this opportunity and ignore who has orchestrated it all. God is SO GOOD!

In the meantime, Donn continues to be swamped as he trains for his new position with the special needs facility. He has begun attending a bible study with Rob (our partner in the ministry) on Tuesday nights. The bible study reaches out to men who are associated with the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Gloversville. Donn has only attended 2 weeks of the study but it has quickly become his absolute favorite time of week. It is so encouraging to hear him talk about this precious time with these men!

God has been so faithful!

We continue to pray for His absolute direction and for the rest of the pieces to fall into place (such as the house selling in Charlotte). I find peace knowing that God is in control of it all!
