As We Find Our Way

For months we've been begging for some guidance, or maybe a sign from above. Our lease is coming to an end in about five weeks and with no idea where God is calling us to go, I've felt stranded and hopeless. Where will we live? Will we be able to find two decent jobs? How are we going to move our stuff?

Brandon and I had put in dozens of job applications all across the state, but it seemed as if our efforts were not paying off. And then yesterday, he got an email. It was from Cook Out's corporate office. They had seen his resume and wanted to talk to him about a management position. He hadn't even applied, and they were seeking him out. He will be contacting the company this week, and he is very interested in the position. He looked at the salary that Cook Out typically pays store managers and it seems incredibly generous. It is four times our current combined income. We could pay off our student loans and save around 20% for a down-payment on our home within a two year span. And this projection doesn't include how much I will be making. I'm finally filling good about this move. Even if this job doesn't pan out for Brandon, I feel like we can handle this now.

A few weeks ago my mom mentioned that I was graduating with a business degree. She was speaking to  her supervisor, who then informed her that they have openings in another office and if I could send her my resume, being the daughter of a very respected employee like my mom would pretty much get me the job. Ironically, the position with Cook Out and the position with my mom's company are only thirty minutes apart. Today I'm praising the Lord for providing us with a destination. I'm going to apply for the position with my mom's company, and we've already looked online at some apartments which are surprisingly affordable and in safe neighborhoods. It's so wonderful to have a direction. And I have to say, I never saw myself living in Greensboro, but now that it's on the table, I love the idea of being close to both families (mine and Brandon's).

Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me
