Well Good Morning

Sweet Friends,

Can you hear it???

If you have followed me long, 

you probably know why we

are singing that chorus all the

way over here in Florida!!

Guess what???

Hubby started a new job this morning!!

It has been a bittersweet morning, so strange to be sending

him off to work and sort of mourning that this time is over,

because it was like being retired,  yet so excited and happy

 to have the new job, especially since the Lord told us back

the end of March that we were to pay for our daughter's 

upcoming October Wedding

 and

 since hubby had been laid off for10 months at that time, and

 we were saying.......

 HOW,  Lord???

God always makes good on what He tells you to do!!

So we are beyond thrilled at his answer (and I think Dee

 and Jerry might be even happier than us because they were

concerned about us doing this) .We are incredibly grateful for 

all the ways God has.... and continues to provide for us! 

 He truly never ceases to amaze us...............

Sorry I haven't told you about it before now, but we had

a lil situation going on that had us concerned.  The night before

 ( May31st.) they offered him the job, we had eaten a salad with

 Poppy Seed Dressing, and then they called the very next day (June 1.)

 and he accepted the job,  which of course, then started background 

checks, and financial checks, and the TEST,  you know the one...

 the go in the cup test!  I am not calling it what it is, because I don't 

want my blog to pop up every time someone types that

 in the search engine!  lol

Anyway, in case you never knew,  poppy seeds can throw that

 test off,  so by the evening of June 1st, our excitement over the 

JOB to our horror, now became WORRY over the TEST, 

as we remembered the salad the nite before!!

Interestingly,  we had joked about that very thing weeks

 before saying that would be great, get a job and then

have a glitch in the test cause of this dressing!!  ha ha

Never had the slightest thought about it while we were

eating it........................Amazing!!

Anyway,   by that night,  we realized this was probably

just something else the enemy threw at us to try and

dampen the Joy of the whole thing, and that it was

just another opportunity to trust the Lord with it.

So we commenced praying , telling the Lord that whatever 

He wants is what we want,  if it is the job fine,  if it isn't

 we are okay,  we willl surely be disappointed if it isn't

 but,  we will live!  Amazing the peace that comes when

we get our hands off of it!!

In our hearts we really felt the Lord was saying yes, to this job,  

but you know,  we have been tested on God's sovereignty before, 

another time years ago when he was laid off,  hubby was offered

a job,  his first offer as a matter of fact, and we believed it was a

 test.....and he had to turn it down because of what the company

 produced,  so we just weren't totally sure what the Lord's will

 was yet.............so thought it best not to drag

 your emotions all over the place.

Want to thank all of you who have prayed for us during this

time of layoff and also for this job!!  You will never know

this side of Heaven,  just how much it has meant to us

and how much good your prayers produced in us!!

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!!

So.... I am  glad I have a Wedding to plan cause that 

will keep me busy as I readjust to the quiet here,  course,

  I don't really mind quiet at all.  You can hear the Lord's

 voice clearer in the quiet!!  Like He says "Be still and

Know that I am God!!

Thanks for stopping by and

 sharing in our Good News!

May you have a 

Tremendously Blessed Tuesday,

Love and Hugs,

Nellie
