Why do I question?

Isn't it amazing that we still question God no matter how often He proves Himself? This is the life I have been living for the last few months.

As many of you know, I have been working a very stressful job and have been trying to find something that will be a little less stressful but still support Jeff and me once he goes back to school. So, my work life was getting worse and worse. We were getting yelled out daily, called names, and being sworn at continually. On top of that, the job itself was stressful and I felt like my integrity was on the line and I was not okay with that.

But, the Lord is faithful! He used my husband in amazing ways. After putting up with a year (+) of this job, Jeff finally told me that I needed to quit. He was willing to eat Top Ramen every night if it meant me not having to go back to one more day of work. So, after much talk about the irresponsibility of quitting my job, Jeff reminded me to just trust in the Lord. He already has it all figured out. However, I was in my doubting mood again and wondered what God would do.
But, I walked into my office and gave my notice, expecting to be sent home the same day. Instead, my manager called our RVP and asked for the position I wanted to be opened up.

I had been looking to transfer to the Beaverton branch (near Jeff's school) as a processor. No more sales, no more stress, a little more regular hours. And, just like that, the position was opened (even though it really wasn't) and I started two weeks later!
I have been at this job for exactly one week and it is amazing the difference. Jeff said he noticed right away. I finally have energy. I can actually do things after work instead of just going to bed and I am finally happy. I truly feel free! Who would have know that this is what God had in mind! It could not have worked out any better.

So, life is good. Jeff is heading back to school. I have a great job that will support us while He is in school, and we serve an amazing God who is always at work. Our faith is growing as much as our future and we have everything to be thankful for. God is good!
