Be Ye Separate

Okay it's official:)

Blessings!

   I'm finally allowed to share our good news:) Brother Craig has officially been offered a job! We are so excited:) It has been such a blessing having him home every day for the past 11 years. We are going to miss him being here during the day so we will have to adjust a LOT I'm thinking:P

   Brother Craig retired out on a disability from the fire service 11 years ago. As you can imagine, with a bad back, no one would hire him. He has done teaching for the local Community College in the firescience program, which has been great, but they won't hire full time and that's what he needs. It's been harder on him to have several part time jobs (although it allowed him to be home most of the week with us). Having just one job to go to with full time pay and good benefits will be much easier on him and having a steady schedule for him will be easier for us as well.

   God has been so good to provide all that He has for our needs while we have gone through this trial over these past years. He is answering our prayer for much needed funds in order to purchase land to build our homestead on permanently. It will be at least another year or two before we are able but the Good Lord brought us this far, we know He will complete the good work He started:)

   So that's the good news:) Thank you Lord for all you have done in our lives and for the opportunities you've given us to learn.

God be with thee!

I am so happy for you sweetie. God has seen you through some LONG term trails, wow, LOL. Eleven years, now that is faith. Anyway congrats on everything. Thank you God for answered prayers.

~~Blessings!
I think the Lord knows that I don't get things as quickly as some:P Maybe that's why my trials seem longer than most:) I truly don't know how folks make it through life without faith. I know for sure they have no hope and therefore no joy. How sad.
I rejoice in the Lord for all He has done for us no matter how long it takes:)
God be with thee!

Faith for sure. I know the Lord is working great patience in me, but 11 years? Wow ;o)

I am excited for Bro Craig and this new season in his life. What an adventure! Should be one for the whole family!

That is such wonderful news! Your faith and patience are such an inspiration! I am enjoying reading your archives-so thankful that I came across your blog!

Just wanted you to know

that you are often an inspiration, when you wait cheerfully on the Lord for 'just another year or two' after that trial of 11 years, I am reminded of my own impatience, and it puts a smile on my face, to start my day thinking, well if Lori can do it, I can!
Bl,essings, sister.
