It's Friday, and I've Got Great News!

For every person who has been concerned about how things were going, and encouraged me, and prayed for me, this is for you. For the good folks who wonder how I am coping, this one is especially for you.

On Tuesday at 4:30 pm, I walked into a law firm in downtown OKC to give them my resume (just as I had to maybe a hundred other businesses in the last two months). It was 5:05 pm when I got back home and heard a message on my machine from that firm, asking me to call back. I called Wednesday morning, they scheduled an interview for 2:00 pm that day. While sitting in that interview, they scheduled the second interview for Thursday at 9:00 am. The second interview lasted maybe 15 minutes. I came home, two hours later they called me and offered me the job. Not only did I get the job, I also got the salary I asked for.

It's now 5:40 am on Friday, and I'm getting ready for the first day on my new job.

I didn't sleep a wink last night. I couldn't, I just laid in bed thanking God because it was all I could do. He did it again! He came through, just in time. I'm so humbled by his goodness, and I'm in awe of the way he has kept me in peace throughout these two months of being unemployed. He met every need that I had.

What's even more incredible is that I will have six days worth of pay by the first of September. And that is exactly enough to pay my rent! They could have waited to have me start on Monday, but they didn't. They wanted me to start today, a Friday. That is God meeting needs, no doubt about it.

So, I'm ending this post now so I can get me and my boys ready. I have to be there at 7:45, and I'm not nervous at all. I'm a little sleepy, but I'm really excited.

The Lord is the everlasting God,
The creator of all the Earth,
He never grows weak or weary,
No one can measure the depths of His understanding,
He gives power to the weak, and strength to the powerless,
Even youth will become weak and tired,
And young men will fall in exhaustion,
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength,
They will soar high on wings like eagles,
They will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not faint,
Isaiah 40:28-31
