Well, the Father is good. . . all the time. David and I have been here in Wake Forest, NC for 2 1/2 months diligently seeking job opportunities. The timing with the move and my nursing boards taking forever to schedule and all didn’t seem ideal to me. For some reason though, I never questioned. I just had peace that the Lord would provide in His time. I’m sure it’s because of seeing His mighty hand work in so many ways all of my life.
He didn’t fail us this time either! It’s funny how the Lord always cares for His own, but this time He gave us more than our needs. . . He gave us the very desires of our heart!! Last Monday, I had 2 job interviews on the same days at 2 hospitals. They both had their pros and cons. Both were about 30-40 minutes away, one was small and personable, the other large and well known. I liked them both actually. I went in as a new grad with no real nursing experience and not really knowing what to expect. At the end of the day, I had offers from both hospitals . . . it just blew my mind. That wasn’t what I thought would happen going into the day at all. I guess I needed more faith!! All that to say, we are very excited and grateful that I start at Duke University Hospital in Durham, NC at the end of this month! Yippee!!
The other amazing thing, was that with David going to school full-time and me working full-time, we were really interested in him being able to find a job as a music minister at a chrch This way we could serve in the chrch be involved more, and he could be home with Colt during the days that I work instead of being gone to work as too. Well, the Lord has provided that opportunity as well with the chrch that we both had peace about from the beginning. We are soo excited to see the way the Lord is directing our steps!
All that to say, we were planning a trip during David’s Easter break from seminary, but since neither of us know what our work schedules will be we may not be able to get away anymore. . . So, we decided to just wing it and go for a long weekend. Here are some clues to where our travels will take us –
YIPPEE!!!!
Thanks to the Lord for His guidance and blessing for you & David. Can’t wait to see you ~
Love,
Gramps & Nana Gail
