Have you ever wanted an e-mail from God?

So I have asked this question a lot these last couple weeks. And my answer is Yes! Who wouldn't, right? Well as you guys no Josh is currently looking for a job any where! I mean he has sent resumes to Indiana, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Colorado etc. Unfortunately churches want some one older and wiser with 3-5 years experience! Well Josh is 22 with one year experience and well I find him very wise but I am not  the one hiring him! 

To add to our craziness I found out this week that Tiffany is going to be a stay at home so I losing my full time job in June! Yea I know how could you possibly be mad at a mother for wanting to stay home with her baby?! I sure couldn't but I will admit it was bad timing for us! We just bought our car and in June we will have to pay rent for the apartment! 

I had to put down some pride and ask fro help with Josh's graduation announcements (money that is) that was hard. Because I thought I could handle it but since the month of may includes two weddings, two birthdays, our anniversary and Mother's day I just didn't see how I would have the money to purchase them!

So back to my title, i have thought a lot about how nice it would be that God would send us an e-mail with what our future looks like. A little peace of mind would be nice! Now I don't want to know everything just the next couple months! Through all of the economic issues if we will be able to land a good full time job and life some what comfortably!? 

I am a person who hates most change but I admitted to Josh the other day that I don't care where we move to as long as he has a full time ministry and knows that he is doing something he was trained to do.  I hate the idea of leaving my family but I also know that they will support us even if we end up 2,000 miles away.  

But more then anything Joshua and I have grown so close to each other these last four months! We have really learned to lean on each other. We are more in love today then eleven months ago when we exchanged vows! Oh how I love my husband!

Life Changes

Well Josh and I have been almost ten months and what a ten months of changes! But yet we will have more before we celebrate one glorious year together! Josh is down to 7 WEEKS of classes before graduation! Right now he is trying to relax during Spring Break!

In the last week we have found out that the church will have to let Josh go the end of May because of finances. This came as a surprise because we though we had until the end of the summer at least! So Josh has started the process of finding a new ministry. He sent out five resumes via snail mail and a dozen or more via e-mail! Thanks to the economy this could be a long crazy cycle. But crazy enough we are getting excited about a new church! Some where Josh can really spread his wings. Hopefully find something he really enjoys and also a challenge! We would also like a church that doesn't have a 8AM service so we have no more of this 6AM rising time! But we aren't picky...well maybe a little! ;) 

We have also bought a car! A beautiful sexy red 2007 Toyota Camry! We of course went in just "looking" and went out with keys. Well actually we didn't get the keys yet, because the bank wasn't open and they have to clean it! We were actually looking at a black one and we sent our salesman out to get a price on the car and he came back saying "I know you guys are Christians because God is on you side today!" They had just got a trade in for 1,200 dollars less, 20,000 miles less and this one came certified so we got new tires! It was  steal! But we are officially adults, we have a loan! A five year loan at that! 

Buying a car was interesting! Josh definitely made this decision. He kept saying you are a woman you have intuition. I told him I didn't think it had kicked in yet! But anyways I knew we could afford it, but it was a chunk of money and it looked like we were signing our life away! I can't imagine what buying a house is like! Josh was strong for me and I did have peace by the time we were signing all the papers! I am so excited this car is ten years newer then my car!
