It's a Job and a miracle.

I think we can pretty much say, that yes, we have a job. Josh should begin in a couple of weeks. We are truly blessed. It's a phenomenal offer, we're pleased, the job is an EXCELLENT opportunity for Josh. You know I have no idea what he does, but he's excited, and I am too.

He'll be working in the DC area, which is a nightmare commute for right now. Doable, but as the housing market has taken a tumble. It kind of looks like we'll have to linger a little longer. :)

Either way, we have insurance to take care of baby and siblings, oh and mom and dad, too. Money to pay our student loans, and the most important thing the opportunity to do THIS FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

For those of you that have prayed, fasted, and even just in your mind had a hope for us, could you do one more thing for us? Pay forward some goodness, and see what happens to you.

Wonderful news about the job! As long as Josh can stand the commute, we'll be glad to have you in the area!

Congrats! I'm so glad everything is falling into place for you guys! (well, except the house thing) But at least you have a job that allows you some flexibility in staying in that house. Just think if he got a job across the country and you were stuck with the house! Ouch!

Congratulations! A good job really is a huge blessing and not something we take for granted. Thanks for the reminder to pay it forward.

Lucy I'm so happy for you!! And I read the link to your September post -I hadn't read it before. So touching! I've been feeling sorry for myself lately (Steve's out of town, and that's never fun) but that post made me realize I need to get off my butt and serve others instead of focusing so much on myself. Thanks.

So are you still selling your house? Where would you want to live? Congrats! We are stoked for you. N. VA has great schools and not so bad commute. . . comparatively speaking of course. :) hooray!

P.S. Nationally reknowned you know who is here...:) and the head says hi.

I am glad things are working out for you guys. I had tears in my eyes when I read your pay it forward post. Amazing. We have had things happen to us like that. Thanks for reminding me. I'll pay it forward tomorrow. (It's kinda late and I'm not going anywhere else tonight)

That is wonderful news Lucy. I am so excited everything worked out. You know when you do it the Lords way it doesn't turn out how you think it will... it turns out better.

Congratulations! With the dwindling number of friends you've left in Ft. Meade (they all left or are leaving):), I just want you to know that if you ever need anything when you're down here that our home is open to you. Take care.
