Expecting great things and giving GOD the glory!

Well we have made it through April, it's been almost 2 months since Jared quit working for Edward Jones. Jared got an amazing job offer and we are now waiting for the final stamp of approval from corporate which could take another few weeks. More details to come about that...I was so worried about how we would make it through this difficult time, but God is so FAITHFUL and GOOD! We have turned to him, and really just said God, we don't know how we will make it financially, how we will be able to have patience and peace during this period, but we ask you for peace, we ask that you meet our needs and God has given us those things. We have made 2-3 times the amount we ever made in one month at Edward Jones in the month of April. We have had peace and patience and enjoyed the time we have gotten to spend together. It has been an adventure waiting to see what small side job will fall in our lap, what random check God will drop in the mail, by the way there have been quite a few...Lockheed sent us a vacation payout check from a YEAR ago, Cook's children's sent me a check from 3 YEARS ago when Joey had surgery there and apparently I overpaid, our mortgage company sent us a check for a surplus in our escrow account. Every time I got one in the mail, I knew it was God's way of saying I am taking care of you. We have had to completely trust God which has been hard, I like to know what's coming, I like to know the next 3 steps, and I haven't been able to know or see that, so it has been different for me but I believe God has used this time to grow me in the area of trusting him. That's whats going on with us, we are ready for summer, we are ready for Jared to start his new job, we are expecting great things and we do give God 100 percent of the glory, it's all because of him.
