Celebration!!!!!

Tonight we had something great to celebrate and we did it at our favorite kid restaurant-Chuck E Cheese. Jim was told today that he has a job for the summer with a private lawn care company based in Howard. The business owner is a Christian and will be somewhat flexible with hours to accomodate Jim's part-time hours on campus with Intervarsity. Furthermore it is a well established business that is expanding. In the current economy this is an awesome opportunity!

We felt that God was bringing this job to Jim and our family and providing for us in a marvelous way. The owner and Jim met through the Christian Business directory and saw a way that they could each serve one another's needs. Jim will bring experience to the job as well as working his old territory from his previous job.

Normally we reserve Chuck E Cheese for birthdays or for fun with our cousins. Samuel even asked once we got there who's birthday we were celebrating. Jim told him about the new job and he replied "That's great Dad!" The kids understand very little of what has changed over the last year, some day we will be able to share with them this one example of how God has provided for us.

P.S. stay tuned for more posts to come. We have been busy, I just haven't made the time to share everything :-)
