Work, Bed and Faith

I have felt hesitant to share some *tentatively* good news. PJ had a job interview on Friday for a good job that pays good, excellent benefits and vacation/sick/personal days accruing from day 1. He has been called back for a 2^nd interview tomorrow at noon.

Then this morning I felt silly for being so hesitant. God has either planned for PJ to get this job or he hasn’t. Whether I write this or not has no effect on that. It is just as silly as poker players not looking at their cards until they are all dealt, you are either dealt good cards or you aren’t. Not looking at them won’t change them. I must have faith that we are exactly where we are meant to be.

Yesterday Phillip’s broke. I was already having a bad day and the end just didn’t seem near, but, it did get better. My Mom called around and found us bunk beds on sale at Meijer, which she took me to purchase. Then PJ called his mom and got an extra mattress for the top bunk. So now in place of a falling apart bed, sits shiny new bunk beds, with which the kids have been playing since they were put up.

As for another little tidbit pertaining to faith…It just seems so incredibly easy to forget who God wants you to be. I have felt overcome lately with blatant disregard to what I have come to know, understand and love about what God wants of each and every one of us. I felt as though I had just put on a mask and pretended. Afterall we were still without employment income, the older kids have been particularly testing, Sophie is still having all her tummy issues and I just don’t have patience…BUT…I know where and WHO I want to be so I must have faith that I will soon find my path again. PJ and I keep reading the Bible and there are just so many things that we are looking to accomplish for God, our kids and each other. I know I have said it many a time but ‘Plan & watch God laugh right?’
