Praise!

I have behind on my updates.
Clay started his new job on April 2nd and he seems to be enjoying it. He had 8 years of a very flexible schedule. We are all adjusting to his new work hours and having to adjust to only seeing him a few hours in the evenings. We feel very blessed and just know God's hand was all over this.
On our way to Gruver over Spring Break, Clay received a random call from a friend of Garrett's dad. The dad knew Clay had trucking/freight experience and we think he had heard from the son that Clay was looking. He wanted Clay to interview with his company for a shipping manager position.  Clay went in on the following Tuesday and had the job the next day. A great fit for his past experience. The new position is in a manufacturing company, so now experience on the other side, aligns great for Clay.
We have just really been amazed. Nothing was coming from his searches online and with contacts he had in the industry. A stand still and very frustrating. Then he gets a calls from a basketball dad out of the blue....really. Yes really..... that is how God works.
A job in Mesquite, an easy commute, great benefits, insurance, a stable company. They understand family so Clay should not have to miss any of Garrett's sporting activities the next two years. (yes that was important to us) Yes, he is working long hours, but he is working and thankful for a job in this economy.

Remember that lil bean/ seed and my " I trust you I really do". We had not grown weary from the job search, both of us were handling it very well and when it all happened the way it did. We knew that was God's answer.
