Faithfulness..

Wow..I'm reminded today of just how faithful God is! Many of you know Sam has been without a job for going on three monthes now. Sam has always been our "income." I have worked on and off throughout our marriage, but Sam has been our "source." Well, 3 mon. ago that all changed. Luckily, I have a career that I can go anywhere and get a job, and work as much or as little as I want. So, note "to women that don't have that safety net"..word to ya..GET A CAREER! You never now when your husband may lose his job. So, I have been carrying most of the weight. Even though Sam has been doing little side jobs, that alone wasn't enough.

So, we have been praying and fasting that God would send him a job. Not just any job..but, where God wanted him. I specifically prayed that God would open a door for him that would otherwise be shut. He has went on several interviews but nothing came of them.

Last Tuesday we had a pastors conference at our Church and Sam was asked to video it. He thoroughly enjoyed the conference, so I believe that it was the Hand of God that ordained him to be there. I have seen such a "spiritual" change in Sam since all of this has taken place. Anyway, so on his way home from Church Tuesday evening he said (and those of you that know Sam knows he isn't your..I had a dream..I had a vision type of guy) that he had this ice cold chill that went down his spine and a scripture in Isiaiah came to his mind. When he was telling me this my immediate thought was..oh my gosh, is something bad gonna happen! So when he got home we looked up the scripture in Isaiah..and it stated.."...peace for you and always.." Sam said, "Amy, its gonna be ok..we cannot worry any longer." If we lose everything we have we have to realize that it is just STUFF! That "stuff" doesn't define who we are and nor does losing it define who we are in Christ! At that moment I had such a peace.

Wed..he gets a call about a job interview. A job that is a step-up for him in his career and salary. We didn't get to excited. I had a peace and, again, prayed for God's favor. He had the interview on Thursday... He said the interview went well and that it would be something he has always wanted to do..

Friday..he got a call and got offered the job! How good is my God! This isn't any job..it is a job that is a peak for Sam in his career, and a salary more than he even asked for!

A nurse I work with texted me today and asked me, "what has God taught you through this journey." He has taught me to TRUST HIM!! I think we have to get to that place, and believe it, that if we lost everything we had..would we still be o.k.! Tuesday evening I got to that place! Even though we had to cancel our yearly Disney trip, I had to miss spending time with my little man , not eating out as much..it was all worth it!!!!

Thank you, Jesus for your faithfulness!! For loving me enough to take me through the fire!
