Moving Forward

    Over the past two weeks I have helped celebrate/prepare for the beginning of an upcoming Marriage, celebrated our third anniversary:), had three interviews (two with one company, and one with a new prospective job,  been cleared for teaching/ substituting up here (finally), met new friends, grieved for an old friend who passed away suddenly, celebrated birthdays, and have most recently gone through a remodel at Starbucks, AND received a call back for a second/third interview for a full time position for which I am really hoping. Needless to say, I have been a bit busy with change. Chau has also had his run in with change and moving forward. He has been assigned a work route that is conveniently not too far from our neighborhood and is enjoying the short commute!
   Although this time has been challenging up here, with out two full time jobs, and the adjustment to the way of life in Oregon, it now feels as if things are falling into place. I still have to wait to see where I will be working full time, but I am seeing things move forward, which has a weird way of settling my spirit and boosting my hope. Even though there are still irritations and disappointments, it becomes less despairing when I feel like change is coming. It seems as though God's timing, his pathways and lessons are continually preparing the way to help us adapt and move in the right direction daily.
  If you would, please pray for my third interview coming up at an unknown (hopefully near) date. I am really excited for this opportunity to work for a company whose main goal is to encourage and help guide students to their goal of graduating. I am looking forward to the possibility of having some type of job stability and routine up here:). On another note, this weekend, in celebration of our three years together, we are taking a train tour for the day of Hood River and Mt. Hood. We feel so blessed and are excited to explore more of this beautiful environment in which we live!
