I'm a blessed woman

Moving here has definitely had its rough moments. However, the longer I'm staying the more I relies how blessed this move really is! Having wonderful times with my mother and father-in-law, watching our apartment come together beautifully, realizing how much I love my family in CO, getting closer to Adam, and drawing closer to the Lord. Then this week the Lord gave me a big kiss. I have been looking for a job since we got here. One of the first days we all went to this place called Rykes for the finishing details on Liz's cake. As we where there we got talking with the owner about how I was from CO and worked as a florist there. The owner, Renee said "Oh I have so many connections to floral shops around here." She gave me a few cards but emphasized one card, " Chalet Floral is the best in town. Go there first. I love them and they love me so mention my name, tell them I sent you over there." A few days later I went in to get an application. I told the girl that I was looking for a job and that Renee from Rykes sent me this way. She said " Oh we work really close with Renee so defiantly put that down on the application." I took the application and we headed out. A couple days later Ethan and I worked on my resume and made it beautiful. The next day I was going to apply every where and as I was working on that, Ethan came down the stairs with the house phone and handed it to me saying it was Renee from Rykes. She said that she and Doug, the owner of Chalet Floral had been looking for me. "LOOKING FOR ME???" I thought. She continued to say that Doug had found out that I dropped in and was sent there by Renee. He proceeded to call her looking for and asking about me. She told him that I had experience in floral and that I'm looking to go back to school for design. I couldn't believe it. The Lord dropped a job in my lap, a job I would love. I called Doug right away! "Oh yes you are the one I have been looking for!" he said on the phone as we talked. I was stunned... blessed! We set up an interview for monday (today) at 4. I went in and it went so well. He is going to call me tomorrow. I just can't believe the blessings that the Lord is showering on me. I really am growing to love it here and I think I will love it even more as we continue to finish our apartment and gain back our own space. I am a blessed woman to say the least. I have a husband who loves me, is so good to me, comforts me when I need him, celebrates with me over a warm cup of tea, laughs with me when I need a good laugh, and just flat out loves me raw. And I have a Lord, Daddy in heaven that loves me even more, and does all the same things but even more (which amazes me). And so again I say, I am a blessed woman. Thank You my King... my Beloved!!

  2. I love it when the Lord is so obvious that He loves us tenderly. "Live carefree before the Lord, for He is most careful with you." (Can't remember exact passage reference). I cling to this verse OFTEN! Love to see His hand! Praying for you guys...and love you both. -Kristin
