Summer of Fun

    These last few months have been busy for the family and I. Our summer was full of looking for a new job. Without any income at times we really had to depend on God to get us through. Thankfully, we always had food on our table and the bills continued to be paid. I spent days submitting resumes to several different companies while still trying to continue with my classes. It was a trial that brought the family closer together.​

    By the end of August I had a job offer. It was a major breakthrough that would ensure the family was taken care of while I got to spend more time with the family. A job where I would not have to work overtime everyday. I would not have to work on Saturday. Gone are the 60 hour work weeks. Gone are the countless days of being so worn out that I could not function when I got home. Gone are the days wondering if I was going to bring in enough to take care of the family. 

    The job I took involves being a software support representative for the customers of the company. While this is simply an entry level job, it has proven to be exciting. I work a steady shift, when the day is done it is done. I get to spend more time with my wife and son. While this might be entry level, I know that my future is bright and the opportunities to move forward are right in front of me. 

    This job meant changes for the family. First, and most important was that we had to move. The job was located in Dayton, Ohio which means I had to leave my small little town in Michigan to take the job. This is where the adventure begins. Finding a place in the area was difficult and it had to be close to work yet within out budget. So, while we were looking fro a place to live I had the amazing opportunity to stay with my best friend and world traveling companion, Steven. It was a blessing that he was able to take my family in so that I could start the new job. Further, his family and church took us in and made us feel welcome. 
​
    As of today we have our own apartment again. While it is small it is nice. I live close to work so I can get home quickly and spend more time with the family. I am near some great friends that I get to see on Sundays and a few other days throughout the month. It has been a busy few months but know it is starting to settle down. 

    The next few months will be interesting. I will be completing training soon for my job which means that I will be given a shift to work. Also, in a few weeks I will be finished with school. This is something both my wife and I are looking forward to as the last year of classes have been hard. There have been a lot of sacrifices made to get this far in the graduate classes. Knowing we are now just a few weeks away is such a blessing. We trust that God will use it to open doors, advance my career further. God will be using us in Ohio. We look forward to seeing what He will do in our lives here.
