For the moment the rain has ceased. The sun has come out, the clouds rolled back revealing the rainbow...a promise... On Thursday Bill had an interview. He has had so many interviews this summer but gotten no offers. Well, this Thursday Bill got offered a job with S.C. Johnson. Of course he accepted it. (They gave him an 18 month contract through the temp agency. There is a possibility that it could turn into a permanent job) Not only is it a job, but he will be doing something that he is excited about. It is a job in the field he went to school for (M.I.S. it's an SAP programing job). Never mind that it is an over an hour drive...I am just thrilled for him. This is such a great opportunity for him. Wow! We have been waiting and praying, and waiting and praying....after 6 months of looking, finally a job. God's timing is always so perfect. Bill will start on Aug 27th.
This summer has been long and weary, but it was been good. God has been so faithful to us. He has drawn us so much closer to Himself. I love that we are never closer to Him as when we are walking through the fire, the refining process. Sometimes it really hurts, but the joy of knowing that He is holding my hand cannot be replaced.
I am truly humbled at how the Lord has blessed our family. We are so unworthy of anything good, and yet in His grace He pours out His love to us still. I will never cease to be amazed. I am just standing in awe of my Creator...at being able to sit here and watch Him work. It is truly amazing.
I know that there are plenty of storms yet to come in this lifetime. Jesus said that in this world we would have trouble...but for now the rain has stopped. We have tucked our umbrellas away, not waiting anxiously for the next storm, but basking in the goodness of the Son.
Thank you God for this rainbow!
