A couple of weeks ago, Chris and I were talking about his job situation. The possibility of a move was the topic of that conversation. I immediately became upset about the idea of having to leave our home and the friends we had made. I knew in my heart that it wasn't time for us to leave Baytown. A couple of years ago I would have jumped at the chance to leave. I put the conversation out of my mind and we went on with our evening.
The next day I had the opportunity to spend some time with my mom. I was actually taking her to the Girl's Day Out that KSBJ had put together. You have to understand that for my mom to go with me to a christian event is a rare occurence. It has never happened before. On our way there I was telling her about the job situation. I expressed my concern over having to possibly move. I told her that I had a peace about it and I was just going to make it a matter of prayer. What happened next has never, ever happened with my mom before. As we were driving down Beltway 8, (I was the one behind the wheel) she prayed for Chris and I. Out loud! It literally brought me to tears. Needless to say the rest of the day was very emotional.
Within the next couple of days I received a promise from God. It was one of many that He laid on my heart. He promised me that the job situation was in His hands and that we were going to be able to stay where we were and that Chris would have a job in Houston. I remember Him being very specific about those details. Since that day the only time it has ever crossed my mind again was to ask Chris if he knew anything about where he would be going.
Today God's promise came true. Chris got the official announcement that the position he had looked forward to for so many months was happening. We have prayed about this new position, along with our friends, for about 3 months now.
For my friends that prayed for Chris and I, I want to say thank you for being so diligent. God is so awesome. I can't wait to see what else He has planned for us.
