We Got A Job!!!

What a blessing to be employed again, especially in this economy where people we know and love are being laid off every week!  Jeff will never again take his employment for granted!  Unemployment is a trial that is very stressful, faith trying, and yet a blessing in disguise.  Every time we have been through it we are humbled to see the Lord's hand in blessing us.  We don't even try to add up the numbers to find out why we still have money in savings and how our one month's salary lasted for 5 months and through Christmas.  I will ALWAYS pay my tithing first, avoid debt, and live frugally because you never know when you will have to live on very little.  All of a sudden, our 10 year old Suburban is looking pretty fine when I know it is paid for and we don't have to worry about making a payment every month.  We are blessed that it keeps running, along with our 12 year old Honda.  I know that with the Lord's help we CAN do hard things.  With a little effort and faith on our part, he will make up the difference for our weakness.

I am sooo blessed! 

By the way, Jeff is working for a company called Language Access Network selling video interpretation services to hospitals.  It is similar to a job he had a couple years ago and so he has a jump start on his sales with the contacts he has maintained.  We are hoping his hard work pays off soon!  Right now he is traveling 3-4 days a week trying to cover his 15 state territory as the mid-west sales VP.  Go Jeff!!
