a chance to soar...

this friday nick goes in for a really big interview.
he`ll be interviewing for an assistant store manager position at Lowe's.

it's been a long and rocky one, this path we've been on...

with many sacrifices, a tight budget, and a lot of tail busting;
but i am hoping this interview, no matter the outcome,
will bring about some paving and refining and a side of redemption too.

i pray that if nick gets this job,

that all the glory goes to God and not his own efforts.

nick and i are always treading on shallow water when it comes to such things.

i want him to be a man of God, not just a hardworking person and a good person.
i am not sure if he knows the difference.
ever since his mama passed away, i think that he holds a bit of a grudge,
but my heart hopes that one day soon, he'll see that God has been holding our hand this entire way.

i pray that if nick gets this job,
we are able to give more because we will have more.
i pray that we don't become foolish with money just because we are not used to having any extra.
i pray that his great strides for our family will encourage me to become a harder worker and better business woman because he is quite the example of how hard work pays off.

and lastly, i pray that if nick doesn't get this job,
he will still trust God and in God's plan for him.
that it will be a humbling experience for him rather than a bitter one.
that the hole in his heart doesn't grow any deeper and his work habits will not suffer.
i pray that another opportunity will make its way to him and that he remembers
that no matter what happens, he has a family that loves and supports him
and is so grateful for all his hard work and provisions.

we've been waiting a long time for this opportunity...
and i've been praying for this opporunity to present itself in a location close to home
ever since Nick completed his training a year and a half ago.
my whole heart says he deserves this, but it isn't up to me.

please keep us in your thoughts.

How can I pray for you??
