Bus plant lasted me a day and a couple hours on tuesday. Now im off to look elsewhere still praying for right job to come along. Still trusting God to take care of us, I know He will and know He cared for our needs. Just gets hard in days like this when it seems dark, its hard to look past the darkness and see the hope of Jesus. But He is there and cares for our needs moment by moment. I just pray for a call any moment from someone saying they want to hire me. It just going to take time.

Well there is a lot going on around here right now as usual. At least things are better then they were. I had been down and out pretty much all week long, going into all sorts of places and being told no over and over. I have had the hardest time with the whole jobless thing. Finally thursday I went down to another staffing agency recommended by our Pastor. Several of the other guys in our Church went there and got on board with a School Bus manufacturing plant in town. Of course you start out temp and have to work to get hired. It is completly manual labor and very intense. But i feel its going to work out well and be the right place for the moment.

So this morning i woke up really early and drove into the plant. Feels strange in this different part of the world. I really have never done anything like this before so its very new and scary for me. But it felt good to work hard all day and get off at five. Now i just have to make sure i work hard so i can go from temp to hire. Its all about working hard, Im sure with the Lords help i can do it. Still i will keep my options open and still go for interviews if they come. And i also need to step up to the plate regarding my desire to teach. Everything about what we are going through now is for a reason and I want to not miss a moment of what God wants to do.

I love to see my precious Avery smile and my love. Its another birthday treat for Miss Avery. I know she doesnt understand all her daddy and mommy are dealing with. Thankfully for that. But still the lessons are important for her to learn as well. We must press through to what is ahead, not look back with any sorrow or regret. We need to see what God will do for He is faithful and loves us in every season of our lives. When we make mistakes and mess things up, He is always in control of even our own faults. I just hope that now I can do a good job where I am at and stick with it for now. It may last only a while, but hopefully teach me while I am there.

What matters most in this world is that i take care of my family as God has told me to. He has given me them and they are in my charge. So today i begin the process of trying to find another job. I really do not know how this is going to turn out one way or another. What is out there for me to do. He is in control. What makes me so sad is that i was finally in a place where i was able to be home with my family finally, and not things are going to change again. I had it all figured out. But i guess nothing is solid, anything can change on you. Except the Lord and His promises. At least He is faithful in all things. Even the hard things we have to do in life. He will keep us strong and going.

Sold. That is the sign outside our house at this time! I cannot believe how quick this whole thing has gone. It sold in 15 days, which is pretty amazing considering the market we are in right now. So we look forward to June 6th for closing. So the next step is getting the paperwork for the house we are wanting to build. Sounds like it should be a lot of work but worth every moment. We just praise God for this whole thing as He is watching over us. I know he will help us with each step ahead of us now. We just sit and trust in what He will do. I will keep you posted.

Its been a busy week for us of course that is nothing compared to what we are in for once this house sells and we are working on the new one. We had a few showings this week, not to many though. God is using this whole time to work on our faith and trust in Him. Like Peter on the shore waiting for a fish to bite. We just wait. Yesterday we had a showing which did go well and it looks like we might have the offer we have been waiting for. Now if all things do go as planned we could have this whole thing wrapped up in a month! Kind of scary when you think about it. But once more its all about putting our whole dependence on the Lord and trusting Him. He is faithful and cares about all things we do in this life.


Holly has begun her new position with her company and that means stress of course and a new office area. Its good though and she likes it so im glad. My job is going well too, i am still waiting to see what kind of schedual im going to land this coming quater. Hopefully a good one. Avery is more talkative these days. She went to the doctor and got a healthy report normal across the board. She is 33 inches and i think 26 pounds or 24.6, not sure. Eitherway she is talking and playing and being an adorable toddler. This weekend we have another showing with the same people who looked at it yesterday so we hope that goes well. We will head to Mema's today after some house chores.
