Humble Beginnings

God Certainly Knows ALL!!!

As you all know, the economy is drastically taking a turn for the worse.  My husband has been a real estate agent for the past 2 years and is now getting out of it.  He made minimal money last year and is tired of all the work without pay.  So, he's been looking for steady employment (which a LOT of people are doing right now).  He applied for 2 jobs with AT&T and was concerned that he didn't get either one (both of which he was qualified for).  Yesterday he found out that one of the positions he applied for was closed and they weren't going to fill the position.  So, what do I find when I log onto our local TV stations website?  AT&T is laying off 12,000 people!!!

God certainly knows what He's doing.  He knew that this was coming and knew it wasn't right for Johnny.  Praise the Lord for all His wisdom!

I know that He'll lead my husband to the perfect sales job - even if it's in another state (we're already getting rid of items in hopes of moving).  As the line says in Facing the Giants, we're preparing our fields for rain (and the Lord will provide the rain).  We just need to be ready when He does.

Praise the Lord!!!!

Oh, come to Mississippi!! I don't know where he could work but I would love for ya'll to be over here.

My DH built houses for years. When he went to Iraq he had to shut down his business. We struggled with that decision. Now we see that it was a blessing. If he were building and trying to sell houses in this economy, the stress would be almost unbearable.

I hope your husband finds his answers soon. 1 Cor. 10:13
