a little like Mary

The last ten years have been . . . . well, tough.  Don't get me wrong - there's been a LOT of good.  But I have to say that a full decade of under-employment for my incredibly talented & accomplished hubby had taken it's toll.

But I am thrilled to say that Dan just accepted an amazing position this last week.  He applied to the position almost a year ago, so even the waiting for the final decision these last few months has been tough.

One of my dear readers (& longest friends) asked why I hadn't posted about this.  I wondered why myself.  I guess after ten years of believing in something & hoping for it - when it finally happened, there really weren't words to adequately describe the gratitude I felt.  To be honest, a part of me felt a little bit like Mary, Jesus' mother.

When she heard the news, she pondered.  I've been doing a lot of pondering myself.  It's good to know that I've been believing in the right direction & that I'm not nuts.  It's good to know that God's specific words to me have come to pass - and that now, more than ever, I can trust Him to lead us into this new season.
