Weekend with the Girls!

Last weekend Brian and I got to spend the weekend with his sister and visit with the girls. They are growing up so quickly. We had not seen them since March and the have changed so much here are a few pictures I took on Sunday before we went to church.

1st Week at new job

Just wanted to give everyone an update on the new job. It is WONDERFUL - I have learned so many new things and enjoy every minute of it.
We also spent this weekend with Brian's family in Jackson - hope to post new pictures of the girls soon. They have grown so much and are too cute!

Breaking News

I had my 2nd interview today - was not sure how well it went. I was a little concerned but tried not to think about it - and just placed it in God's hands. I expected to hear something by Friday, but I got a call about an hour ago. I got the job and start on Monday!
A BIG "THANK YOU" goes out to each and everyone of you for your prayers, cards, phone calls, words of encouragement, etc. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Job Search Update

Well I went last week for my first interview at a Doctor's office - I feel really good about this job. They called last week and want me to come in again tomorrow for another interview. This interview will be with one or maybe both of the Doctor's @ 8:25 AM! I feel really good about this but it is because I have placed this in God's hands and have said if I get the job then I know this is where He wants me if not then I know there is somewhere else that He wants me and I will continue to follow His will.
I want to say "THANK YOU" to each and everyone on you that have lifted my name and family up in prayers over the past couple of weeks. I know that it is those prayers and God's grace that I'm making it day by day. As I told someone today I'm just getting to where I can talk about it and not have tears streaming down my face! Sometimes my eyes are like a water fountain that can not be turned off!
As soon as I know something about the job I'll be sure to post so everyone will know.
Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

Job Update

Well today was my last day at LifeWay - I all ready miss those I worked with both in the office as well as those churches in AL that I served. I know God has better things in store and will continue to seek His guidance.

Prayer Request

Most of you have already heard but I wanted to publish this post as well for those I don't have an email for or just missed - here is a copy of the email that I sent out yesterday.

I would like to ask each of you to be in prayer for me along with 25 of the people I've worked with over the past few years - some for 10 years. We found out today around 2:30 that our department had been deleted from LifeWay and we are now all without a job. This came as a shock to all of us, we all were aware that some people were losing their job but we were not expecting this at all. I've been at LifeWay since April 1998 working with churches and know that the next job I have is going to be totally different. If any of you are aware of job openings that I could apply for would you please let me know. Each of us will be meeting with someone in the Human Resource Department on Monday to see if there is anywhere else for us at LifeWay - my meeting is at 8:30 - and I would like to ask that if you think about it on Monday around 8:30 that you would lift me up in your prayers and that I would have an open mind and listen clearly as God speaks to me and leads me in this new area - if at LifeWay or somewhere else.
