Godsends

He answers prayer. I've prayed and hoped for the perfect job, and we've waited through very difficult times, knowing that this is just a stepping stone. We've reconciled to living in Sheridan, WY, keeping the faith that God has a spot for us and, for now, this is it.

Johnny had planned on applying to more jobs sometime this winter, thinking that nothing would turn up for a few months and we could have a better job and move on by late Spring. All that seems to have changed.

It all started with babies. Babies, you see, require lots of equipment, particularly when traveling over night. Along with bags for clothes and such, one has to pack strollers, beds and bedding, car seats, and toys. Our cute little Yaris just doesn't have that capacity. So, Johnny headed over to the Toyota dealer to get us a bigger vehicle. We expected to be treated well and receive a good deal. We did not expect to get handed a dream job. But that's what happened.

This dream job was offered by a Montana venture capitalist cowboy who happens to hail from a wealthy family from Lexington, KY. The man has led one of the most fascinating and fulfilling lives I've ever heard of. Just as an example, the first horse he ever rode was the 1958 Kentucky Derby winner. He has walked the Sahara Desert, ridden broncos in the rodeos, and run a charity to benefit cancer patients. And now he wants to open a resort in Montana and wants Johnny to be his Operations Manager.

The job has been offered, but details are still a little up in the air. At the moment we're just trying to figure out if this actually happened or if we dreamed it. The perks with this job are unreal.

Details to come. Praise the Lord!
