We have had a busy month!  I just can't even believe it's November already!  How time moves.  The boys are growing fast, and well.  At times they are such a challenge and then other times it's pure joy!  Even in the midst of crabby disobedient children, messy houses, and hard decisions God gives grace and reminds me that he is LORD and he is ALWAYS in control.

At the beginning of October Stephen quit his job with Aflac.  It had been really slow, and he had had issues with other people in the company, we both really felt it was time for him to move on.  He had just started working part time Managing a local Snap fitness, which he really enjoyed, and was hoping to find a job quickly that would mesh with his Snap job.  But God's timing was different than ours!   Although a he had an offer of employment it didn't pay what our family required and we felt it was not what God had for Stephen at this time.  October was hard!  Stephen was working only about 3hours per day and we have bills that have to be paid regardless of if we have money or not!  But God was faithful!  From a friend calling Stephen up and offering him a week long construction job, to a friend hiring me to photograph his wedding, some how we always had the money required when the bills came due.    

Then this last Monday we once again reached a crisis point.  Stephen's job with Snap was about to end (on Thursday, Today)  And he was waiting on a call back from a job interview, but it had been nearly two weeks and we were beginning to think they had decided against hiring him.  Monday night the men at Stephen's Bible Study lifted him and his job situation up to the Lord in prayer, we had been praying about it for a month, but this was the first time we had asked other Christians to pray as well.  Then on Tuesday as Stephen was showering before leaving to work at Snap he began to pray that BCR would call and give him an answer one way or the other.  I was washing dishes in the Kitchen and heard Stephen's cell phone ring, I thought, "Lord, please let that be BCR"  but didn't go to look.  When Stephen came down from the shower I told him he had missed a call, and low and behold it was not only BCR but they were calling to hire him!  He as able to start part time the very next day, and full time the following Monday!!!

Oh' but what a God we serve!

Thank you, thank you, thank you LORD!
