Thankful: November 5

Today I have WONDERFUL news to be thankful for: Kevin got an offer letter in the mail for a job!!!!!

After an almost two month period without a job this is such a blessing and an answer to prayer. Ironically, when you wait, God can make things that you wouldn't think you'd be appreciative for, look very appealing!!

And in all honestly, I'm going to miss having Kevin at home. We've been a lot more laid back, without a true schedule. He's taken the kids to school and picked them up. He's washed laundry and dishes, run errands and cooked dinner. I told him it was like having a wife -- *smile*. But, it has just been nice having him here. Now, he will leave really early and be home late -- it's a 1.5 hour drive each way to his new job. All of the things he was doing will come back to be y responsibility. And, while I'm a bit intimidated by it all (it seems like I have a new job too), I'm happy that he has a job and I know he is happy to be going back to work.

God was so faithful and good to us during this time. There were a few times that I worried -- I am human -- but He continued to remind me to use the phrase, "We are ok today. I only have to worry about today." And, one day at a time, we got through this with His strength and His help. And, He has been faithful to provide a job. THANK YOU GOD!!!
