Job Update

Two months ago we thought we would soon be moving to Amarillo. Jonathan had a job opportunity come about through his best friend Thomas, which would be working on and installing portable pump systems. We were sad to think of going so far from family and friends, especially since we found out we were expecting our third child, but we knew that Jonathan needed to find a different job. He was not getting respected at Curves by his supervisor, and it is very important for a man to enjoy his job. We visited Amarillo, which was a VERY LONG road trip, with the kids and checked things out. After a month of not hearing back about an interview Jonathan continued the job search. Jonathan left TSTC to go to Curves last year because he got a pay raise, and that helped us out financially so I wouldn't have to work.

Two weeks ago Jonathan noticed on TSTC's website there was a job opening for an aircraft maintenance instructor, the same job he left from. Due to him being miserable at Curves we decided he should apply for the instructor position, even if it would be less pay. A week later he was offered the job without even interviewing. Last Tuesday (August 2nd) Jonathan handed in his two weeks notice. TSTC was wanting him to start this week (August 9th), so we prayed that his supervisor would tell him he could go ahead and leave, which he did! Here is where it gets interesting - last Tuesday night Thomas calls because his boss wants to interview Jonathan for the job in Amarillo!!! God worked it out so that Jonathan would already have a new job and be able to say no to Amarillo. We are thankful He is keeping us here in Waco for a little longer. Jonathan is going back to a job where he will be encouraged and doing something he will enjoy. I am currently looking for part time work and hoping I can find some freelance graphic design to do from home, to help us make up some of the income we are losing. We are so thankful for God providing in all the many ways He has. I am so happy my husband will be coming home happy from work now!
