Praises, Rejoice with me!
« on: May 13, 2010, 12:22:31 PM »
In uncertain financial times, whenever God shows up in the 11th hour it's a humbling and awe-inspiring experience of how finite we are and how infinite He is. For the first time in my life I had three people that wanted to hire me as an intern for the summer. After 30+ hours of searching for internships and contacting organizations and having nothing productive come of it, it was a huge relief both mentally, spiritually, and financially. Now Gretel can have a reduced workload for the summer. Today, I just learned that Gretel was offered a teaching position at a Christian school near us for about the same pay as what she is earning from working at the charter school in DC. While a great ministry opportunity, there were way too many bureaucratic and systematic issues in place for her first year, not to mention dealing with student behavior. I am so blessed and thankful that she is able to work in a nurturing environment, not only spiritually, but also professionally. So join me in proclaiming thankfulness and adoration to Jehovah-jireh!

That's awesome Brad!  God really is faithful, if we let Him prove Himself so.  Seeing as how I graduated college 3 years ago and got married right away to my wife who still had 2 more years of college before she graduated, I can attest to knowing the financial strains and stress that come along with that situation.  But we have always had enough to live on while still faithfully tithing 10% of our gross, and I can definitely point to some specific times where He was overtly faithful to us as well, so I'll be joining you in praising God!  :)
If creation sings Your praises so will I
If You gave Your life to love them so will I

I also praise God with you both!  He works in mysterious ways.  I hope that this next stage in your lives will be a great one :)
