PRAISE

Our family is going to be doing a lot of changing in the near future. Tom has always worked for Mikes Carwash 55 hrs a week getting up at 2 or 3 a.m. He is tired a lot of the time but that is what we are used to.
I have been working at St.Vincent hospital for a few months in a unit I absolutely love. It is a low level intensive care nursery.
I was presnted with an opportunity to work on the weekends and make full time pay but this would mean that Tom would leave the carwash after 19 years. We really felt like this is what God was wanting our family to do even though the thought of Tom not having a regular job was very scarey. He put in his notice and told them our situation. They said there was no way they could change his schedule to not work weekends. We were really hoping he could stay with them but it wasnt working out that way. We decided to go ahead with what we thougth was right. The carwash called him for another meeting but let him know the answer was still no to the change. We kept praying that God would bring the right opportunity for him.
Finally they called him yet again and said they wanted to keep him and try to work something out. A glimmer of hope but we werent going to get our hopes up too high.
They ended up after 3 weeks almost of stringing us along and us staying firm with what we thought God wanted, they decided to let him work Sun-Thurs nights! We were thanking God. This is what we had asked them originally to do. He will only have to work40 hours a week and I will work on the weekends. It will work our perfectly and financially will be a huge blessing for us.
It is hard to stay firm sometimes and trust what God is saying when you cant see what is on the other end but we learned through this yet again that He is faithful to take care of us always.
