So much has happened since I last posted! That "other interview" we had ended up being "the" job for us, but it wasn't easy. We had three offers on the table plus a couple more came in while we were crossing the country. When Pastor Calvin prophecied that it would be like a big barn door swinging open, I thought that meant it would happen quickly. It did, but what I didn't think about what was in the barn. In that barn were a lot of choices for us to make. Cami, from the Grassy Creek Blue Grass Band, prayed for us and told us not to take the first job we were offered. That was hard, too! After being unemployed since March, it was really hard not to accept that job. And that job I mentioned last time was so tempting. The salary is fully twice what we ended up accepting.
We are very happily in ministry now with a lovely home and nice friends. The place has a terrific training program and we are just about finished with it. We started here on August 25 after driving across the country for five days. It was a grueling trip, but we made it. I was having trouble with the SUV pulling and shaking, but Dan kept assuring me it was okay. Well, when we got here, he drove it. He decided it was not okay. When he checked the tires, he found steel showing! I am so thankful we didn't have a complete blow-out while we were on the road. The Lord really protected us.
We will begin as "respite care" providers then in late January or early February we will begin to get our own kids. I'm so thrilled that the Lord has opened this door for us. Bless his name!
