Employed!

The only reason I've stalled this posting is because of my neurotic will to include pictures with every entry. I'm forced to overcome because this news JUST CANNOT WAIT any longer!

WE HAVE A JOB!!!

More specifically, Josh has a job with a wonderful company here in town (also key - we don't have to move!). He will be performing duties that he is wonderfully gifted at, and working with a team of exciting individuals... not to mention a couple of friends from church! This job offer was a long-time coming, and I am so grateful for all of the months of waiting and keeping busy in which Josh faithfully reminded me (time and time again), that God is in all of this. He joins us in sorrow when good things are taken away. He braces with us when we are amidst seasons of trial; and he rejoices with us when new good things come our way. His hand in our lives these last two years has been a mysterious presence. While Josh and I prayed for sincere and holy grieving in the hardest moments of life, we also pray for humble and trusting praise in the joyful moments.

Many of you have been in close touch with us during these last 10 months and have never ceased praying for and encouraging us. Thank you.

Okay, so I just couldn't resist... Speaking of the past two years - we celebrated Noa's 2nd Birthday last month! Her party was hosted by Josh's sister, Kelly and attended by grandparents and cousins for a grand ole' time. So here is one quick picture...

Hooray for celebrations!!!
