Praise the Lord!

God has been merciful and gracious and good to us as we have been looking for a job for James for the past 2 years. Every time we were discouraged He would have a church call for an interview or a school interested in him teaching Bible, which I felt was His way of reminding us that He had not forgotten about us and would bring the right job along in His perfect timing. We needed to trust in Him and wait. After waiting for 2 years, God showed us His lovingkindness and mercy by providing 2 great positions! One church was in Apex and the other church was in FL near Jacksonville. James had a 2nd interview at the church in Apex and it went really well. While we were waiting to hear back from them, the church in FL called and wanted to fly James down for an interview! A few days before he was to fly out, the church in Apex offered him the position! Since we had not yet been to a service we wanted to take time to visit the church and to pray about it. We also didn't want to write off the church in FL also. So, on Tuesday James flew down to FL and really liked the church and the pastor there. It was great to see the Lord provide not just one great church but two! It was hard to choose between the two churches but after much praying and talking we felt like the Lord was leading us to the church in Apex. It's called Salem Baptist and is about 30 mins. from where we live now in Raleigh. We know we don't deserve this position and are so thankful that the Lord has been gracious and merciful enough to provide it for us! Especially a position as great as this one! We wanted to thank all of you who have been praying for us and who have supported us through these last 2 years and all of the ups and downs of job hunting! We are so thankful for this position and are excited to see how God will use us at Salem! Please pray for us as we now start a new stage in our lives. That the Lord will give us wisdom and discernment as we start looking for a new place to live and especially for James as he starts his new job. I'll post up pictures of the church and a new place (once we find one)!
