As many of you know, Nick resigned from his full-time insurance job at the end of October (officially on paper, December) last year - it was a mutual decision between him and his boss since there was no work coming in here in Jacksonville, and so work was very very slow for about 6 months prior to that. The past 4 months have been a test of faith for us to say the least as we have trusted in the Lord to provide for us. God has been faithful and we have been overwhelmed and blessed through our generous church, friends, and family. Still, the burden of not having a job with a baby on the way has been a lot to carry. It is always hard to deal with the unknown - what a relief to know that the Lord sees the bigger picture!
Nick has applied daily to different jobs both in insurance and everything else and got his first positive feedback and chance of an interview about two weeks ago. The job was with GMAC auto insurance and offered a salaried position with benefits. We have held our breath through the interview process, scared to get too excited if this was not what the Lord wanted for us.
Today Nick had his last and 4th interview and received a call from HR with an offer within the next hour. Of course we accepted - God has provided for Nick to work a solid, salaried job, from home, with benefits including insurance. These are all things we have hoped for but never thought would actually happen! Nick starts on Tuesday and the timing couldn't have been more perfect.
Nick will have to go away about 3 hours from Jacksonville on March 7th for a two- week training. He'll be able to come home on the weekends, but this is the same time that Adrian is due. Please pray that Adrian decides to come this week so his daddy can have some un-interrupted time with him before leaving. We trust in God's timing with this too and know He has a way of working through these details!
THANK YOU all of you who have encouraged us, prayed for us, given to us whether financially or in other ways, and have stood by us through this time! We love you all and are blessed to have people in our lives who love us like you do.
