Turning A New Leaf.....

So it's been THREE WEEKS since the change in our lives started. I have to admit that yes, it's been hard at times to keep my end of the deal with God and remembering that He does have a plan for us and that his plan is better than my plan. It has challenged me because I am a logical, planner. I like to have everything organized and ready-to-go. I like to know that my children are taken care of. And do you know that God has created me like that?! It's part of my role as a woman, wife and mother. And of course it's in my husband's DNA to want to provide and ensure that his wife and children are provided for.

About 8 days ago, Jason got a call from Planet Ford. A company he really didn't have a desire to work for. That's where I think God has a sense of humor. Don't ever tell God you won't ever do something because then he'll challenge you and delvelop your character through that and remind you that it's not about you anyways! The service manager wanted to do a background check and said he "may" have something coming up, but wasn't sure.

Then he called back and said, well, we might as well do the drug test too...

And yesterday he called and my sweet husband is now an auto technician for Ford!

The cool God-thing is that every part of his flesh wants to say "no" because he went from working on "luxury vehicles" to "everyday vehicles", but everything in our spirit (that inside voice) says, "Go, becuase I have a plan for you there - a plan to use you for Me". So not only does he have a job, but he is starting at the same pay he was at Lexus with, AND it looks promising for quick promotions within the shop.

So we loaded up the tools....and borrowed a 6 x 4 trailer...

Discovered that the toolbox was a half inch too long!

Prayed about how to make it fit....and then asked our neighbors to help us push it up the ramp....

God made it fit just right :)

We're so stoked to be starting this new chapter in our lives and it has been so encouraging to SEE God go before us these past three weeks and eliminate any fear, doubt, and worry. It gives you a new found faith in what God can handle. He created the heavans and earth in six days, you think he can't provide for you? :)
