You gave me goosebumps about your daughter on opening night-I feel like I've glimpsed upon something that was only meant for you two-so beautiful, it makes me happy. Do not fear about the job thing-I gotta tell you, that has happened to me twice and twice it was a blessing, His timing is perfect. I'd like to add that I left a job without a job and found the job I spoke about-I said a 9-5 job, but not in an office, I wanted nights and weekends off, benefits, and to do something important and useful: I found a job working in a day program at the ARC and got everything I asked for and more. Then after that job (I left because it wasn't my passion though and it's a work that you can easily burn out in quickly)I worked for a friend after a few weeks I was like I hate this I don't want to do this and I asked myself what do I really want and I said I wanted to do something musical-teach it possibly. And I said well, you are going to have to go to school for that-3 months after being hired I was laid off (even though I wasn't the last hired) I heard about the lay off and prayed it would be me to be let go and I was...I applied for school-I'm so close to graduating now, it should be next year, but it will most likely be 2012. Then, in 2008 I was working in a hospital reasearch department the day before my birthday the whole department got layed off...all I could say is WOW. I didn't work for a whole year-I still payed my bills (praise HIM) and exactly one year later I got a job on campus (it's not alot of money, but I'm still paying my bills and able to work out a schedule around going to school-also, when I finally get to student teaching, I'm believing in a year from sept 2010 I'm going to have to quit my campus job because they say you shouldn't work while doing student teaching. PERFECT. NOW, like you I have been greatly discouraged because like I said I should be graduating like NOW nor next year, but because classes I need are not being held when I need them I'm forced to have to wait. That and I keep failing a stupid math test that is hindering me from getting in Teacher Prep. BUT, I'm beginning to understand that I'm close and I'm not going to quit, and my plans are not His plans and I need to just keep doing what He said do and stop worrying about how I'll be 40 by the time I graduate and who knows when I'm ever going to move out of my parents house...ANYWAYS-I said ALL that to say, dig in man, stick close don't let the enemy talk in your ear and discourage you or let him get you to stop your blessing that God wants to get to you through another level in faith, because this is all that it is. He has your back-You are a Godly man, of course you will have the means to provide for your family. He's your source and He's got the resources and He's got you in His camp. So, be encouraged. Your prayer is right what I needed to say to Him so thank you for that and well, I'm looking forward to hearing great news...talk soon brother. ~gomerX
