OK God, now you have my full attention !!!!!

Do you ever feel like you are on a continuous roller coaster????? That's how it felt yesterday.
The phone rings, and once again, the door has been slammed shut on San Francisco. The hospital went on strike and all temporary techs were sent packing.
This time, I didn't throw a fit, I did cry, not over losing San Fran, but over not having a job to go to.
The phone rings again, there a a couple of other jobs in the works, and they are both on the East Coast!!!!!!!! this would put us closer to mom and kids.
The one we think might come through is a temp to perm job in Harrisburg PA. We had been talking about settling in PA, and we feel such a peace over what has transpired.
Even the recruiter told Susan that undoubtedly something is going to happen in San Fran and she's not supposed to be there..... they have never had this happen before.
She is their top priority in the job search and a blanket email went out to all of the recruiters to find her a job. That's when Aaron called her about PA. He told her that when this job came open, she immediately came to mind, but he saw where she was contracted for CA. Aaron was our first person we dealt with when we signed up to travel.
God is good, God is in control, and He still moves mountains. We will just sit quietly, and wait on His leading..... oh yeah, we did tell them not to call us about CA anymore.....LOL Having the door slam shut twice was enough to get our attention.
I have felt like I needed to be near my mom for a few months now, and if that is where I need to be then God will open that door.
In His Love,

OK.......Now I feel like a dummy

It's a little hard to type when you are slinking away......
I have to admit, I failed the "Faith" test horribly.... I cried, got angry, questioned, and pouted... not very Christian like.....
When San Francisco was pulled, I went on a downward spiral, and was devastated.
We fly this Sat. to Wichita, KS (home) and today, we got the call that San Fran is a done deal and we fly there Aug. 18th for 3-6 months.... this gives us time to visit Micah's grandma and pa (Susan's parents), rearrange our clothing and stuff, and still get there before Micah starts school.
I wish I could visit mom and kids, but gas prices stop that....
Maybe after San Fran.......
I have had to do a lot of praying and asking God and my family for forgiveness for my attitude and weak faith.... have any of you had to do that?
Well, must pack... love to all of you...

ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!! TEST OF FAITH COMING UP !!!!!

OK !!OK!! Now comes the test of Faith.... we all cringe when we hear those words...(and don't try to tell me you don't...LOL)

We were all set to head to San Francisco in 2 weeks when Susan's job called and told us that the hospital there pulled the contract. Something about the guy there hadn't gotten final approval yet to issue a contract.

Sorry to say, my first reaction was one of shock, tears, and anger.... usually if we don't have something promising lined up, we save for a month in case we have to sit at home. Well, we had a signed contract so we didn't save... Pure fear hit me, and then the doubts and questions....

Then out of Susan's mouth came words I didn't want to hear.... "you know there is always a reason" and "God never closes a door that He doesn't open another one, He will provide".

I wanted to wallow in my self pity and anger for awhile, I wanted to lash out at her company, but mostly, I just wanted to cry and question....

So I don't know where this is leading, but we will see.... If He took away San Francisco, I can't wait to see what He has in store....

Forgive, Lord, my unbelief.... I am so glad we can go to Him and ask forgiveness for our stupidity.... :)

Will let you know what transpires...

In His Love,
