Awsome Update!!!

First things first "God is good, ever fulfilling". Our journey started gosh I guess about four years ago. It started when Mike an I decided that we wanted to open our own SMT shop. When we were starting this adventure during a prayer time. I heard God telling me "Trust in Me, I will not fail you, trust Me". Mike had worked two jobs for about a two years. Missing much time with the family. But we decided that it was time took a leap of faith and Mike went on to leave his 8-5 job. The first year working full time went well yes we took a big pay cut but at least we were making ends meet. The second year took a turn for the worst, some unexpected things happened and we had to pull out and sale our house and move from Houston to Austin. We have been living with my parents for the past seven months Mike and I with all three of our kids. That's right SEVEN people under one roof.
Mike has been struggling to find a job. Interviews but nothing would pan out from them. He had interviewed (mid Jan) with a company that has a contract with Intel. They told him that they decided to go with another person for this position. So we thought that this door had closed and we moved on. Until late last night!!! They called Mike and offered him the position due to another person leaving. So Mike goes back to work Feb 8th!!!! It is contract position for undisclosed amount of time. But at least it is our foot in the door. We are now praying that Intel will offer him a permanent position.
All this time I thought Gods talking to me had to do with our company. But really He meant these past seven months. He sold our house in three days, He has given my family shelter, clothing, and food. I want to thank everyone who has prayed for my family and I. Especially thank you to my parents who opened up their home to us. Thank you so much mom and dad, thank you. God is so good.

pro-life

There was a good article on People.com today. The article is about upcoming super bowl commercials. Tim Tebow is going to be in a pro-life commercial and CBS is going to run it. I am super thrilled about this one. Anyway here is the link to the article. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20339455,00.html
I read what some people said about the article some not so happy about it and others very happy about it. Anyway it got me thinking. Why do people have so much ill contempt for people who do believe in God, and do not think abortions are they way to go. I just don't get it. Stand up for what you believe in and other people don't need to bash you for your believes. Now this is just my two cents take it or leave it.
I am so proud of Tim Tebow's decision to stand up and let his faith show. This is a hero that I don't mind my young kids looking up to, finally.
