North Carolina

On August 15th, Nathan and I dedicated Kourtnee to the Lord at our church in Indiana. We played a special song that was also played at my dedication when I was a child. This was also a big day for Nathan and me; it was our one year anniversary!!! it was hard to believe that we had been married for a year. And the pastor who married us did our daughter's dedication.

In the end of July, Nathan and I had started to pray about his job and the stress it was causing our family. We talked with our family and some friends to get counsel about what we should do. We had been invited by a friend of mine to come down to North Carolina to look for a job. We were wold that the job market was better down there.

Well, Nathan quit his job at Home City Ice in the beginning of August and on the 17th, we headed down to North Carolina. We stayed with my friends and looked for jobs. We looked for a month and nothing came up. At this point we had already decided that we were moving down to North Carolina to stay.

Our pastor, in North Carolina, called us in September and said that Chick-fil-A was hiring; he had just talked with the manager. Nathan and I drove over there right away and filled out an application. It took only an hour and a half after filling out the application before the store operator called us back. He asked if Nathan could come in the next day for an interview. The next day Nathan went to his interview and was hired on the spot. Nathan is now working full time and some over time.

Some of you may not know much about Chick-fil-A, but it is a Christian company, which means that they aren't open on Sundays. and when Nathan had his interview they asked him what days and times he would need off for church things.

We are very glad that we listened to the Lord and the ones that counseled us to come down. It was hard for a little while, but God is working things out the way He always does.

We have been blessed with a very WONDERFUL church family. They have done so much to help us. There are not enough words to thank them. I have been writing thank you notes, but it sometimes doesn't seem like it is enough. I pray every day that God will over flow their cup daily for all that they have done for us.
