The light at the end of the tunnel

So excited that I am FINALLY jumping on the blogging bandwagon  (I'm only a couple years behind the times)!! I have been wanting to start blogging for quite sometime, but I am a bit of a procrastinator and have always had something in the way.

Although it's still early in 2011, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. My amazing husband Bud, has been working at Bashor Children's Home for the last 2 years. While I am very grateful that he has had this job, it hasn't paid very well and we have had some tough times. We both have diligently been praying for 3 years for Bud to find a higher paying job. After so many applications and no interviews, I was wanting to give up. It always amazes me, when God intervenes. Although I wanted to call it quites, Bud continued to encourage me and knew that God would turn this year around for us. Bud found out that Elkhart General Hospital was hiring and instantly filled out an application. After so many applications and years of prayer, it finally paid off and he landed an interview. A week after the interview, the phone call that we had been praying so hard for, finally came. This, is the light that we had been praying for. It was an instant weight off our shoulders, and it felt so great to finally breathe.

Shortly after God blessed Bud with his new job, God also blessed me with a part-time job that I can work around my crazy schedule. Although it has been 8 years since I have worked, (at all!!) and I am pretty nervous, it feels so good to know that, I will be helping take some stress off my husband. It's going to be a fun journey, working for a great friend and I am excited to start!

Too add to the new jobs that God has blessed us with, we finally have bought a dependable second vehicle. It felt so good to go and pay cash and not have to worry about a car payment! It's nice to know that, we no longer have to take the "Gracemobile"  (we call it that, cause we honestly have to pray that it won't break down on our way to our destination!!) everywhere!

I now see, the light at the end of the tunnel and it feels so good! Thank you Jesus, for bringing us this far!
