It makes me feel like God is definitely watching over us, and that everything is going to be just fine.
I appreciated your novel Jessica! Thanks for taking the time to fill us all in. Your hubby's birthday sounds very special indeed. Birthdays don't need to be ushered in with lots of hoopla (believe me, the older I get the less hoopla I want! LOL!) In fact, I think when you two look back on this past birthday I believe it is one that will stand out years from now because of the stressful circumstances surrounding it. It sounds like your hubby is doing well emotionally and that is a big plus. When my hubby was laid off many years ago he was so depressed. Nothing anyone did could pull him out of it. I remember it well because he lost his job on Halloween and didn't start his new job until right before Christmas. We were prepared to totally let Christmas pass us by, then about a week before Christmas he was hired and I rushed out to the store to pick up a few things for the kids. It's amazing how unimportant "things" become when you are in that situation. I will keep you both in my prayers that he doesn't have to wait much longer before the perfect job that God has planned for him comes along. (((hugs)))
