In the past 6 months or so my hubby has started to look for other work. We thought we had an in to a job in Yellowknife. Yup, I said it. Yellowknife. Both sets of parents were supportive. I was conflicted. We got word last week that the job is officially off the table (position changed). I am mixed about it - I was scared but also looking forward to an adventure. Door closed.
Today another door was pushed open...again but we said no. It was the possibility of going back to Goderich. We love that town but for our own well being, it wouldn't be the right choice. Financially, professionally and economically. Our favourite spots in town are gone, the town is suffering while they recover from the tornado damage... it wouldn't be the same. Plus I wouldn't be able to find work! (Tried last year around this time, it was impossible). Definitely confirmation that we made the right choice moving to Wasaga. Plus apparently Kevin's boss gave him the giant sad puppy eyes asking him to please stay! :P
While I am tucking my hubby in for his daily nap we got talking about the future. If we had made the right decisions. That I should have more faith that I will find a better job. (The resort I work at is in shoulder season - I've been off work for 2 weeks). Both of us tired of being tight on money all the time. Kevin has more faith then I do and I was just about to say that I wish I had his faith when the phone rang.
Friends of ours (new friends who we really love hanging out with) called asking if we needed any help at all with me being out of work lately. I almost cried. We came into their minds so they just called us up. My respect and love for this couple just grew huge!
To me this is God giving me a big wave reminding me the He is right here and always will be. That I need to stop doubting, to stop expecting the worst. I know that God gives us the desire of our heart*, I just need to learn to be patient!
*Desires of our heart? God knew deep down I wanted to find the love of my life and get married. He granted that and unexpectedly. He can do that for my career too I am sure! :)
