Why do we ever doubt?!

Jesus is GOOD! Oh my word He is so good! In my last post I talked about the "ideal" situation for next semester! God ALWAYS has way bigger plans!

My dad drives the bus with a lady who's ex-husband works at the Ford dealership in town. He talked to her a while back and asked if there were any job openings there for his jobless-soon-to-be-son-in-law. She checked with her ex husband (whom she still has dinner with...awkward....but good in this case) and he said there wasn't anything. My dad went back and told her the sob story of the daughter who would be commuting 90 minutes 3 days a week. She told him she'd check again. Well my dad called this weekend and said "Joshua has a job interview at the Ford dealership on Monday morning."

At about 10 this morning my sweet sweet fiance brought me my power cord to my computer on his way to the interview. He looked absolutely handsome in his polo and slacks. I prayed for him before he drove away. In 2o minutes he called back and said "Guess what!" This has got to be good!!!! Sure enough good news FINALLY reached my ears! There is a strong possibility that they will be offering Joshua a job doing something with internet sales and support! I don't understand the logistics of it but all I know is it is FULL TIME and on SALARY and the occasional COMMISSION! They will meet again Wednesday to talk about $$$$$ and details. Oh and he would start IMMEDIATELY meaning we'd have some money when we got married!

Oh God is so good! We aren't out of the woods yet....prayerfully waiting for Wednesday! Hopefully it will be enough money!

Thank you Jesus for never forsaking us.

79 days and praying..

I am 79 days out until I have a boy as a roommate and 79 days until I become Lyndsey Meredith Williams. I will be the happiest girl in the WORLD in just 11 short weeks!

I am trying hard to rest in these short weeks. We are trying desperately to have fun in planning this wedding and enjoy the engagements period. Lately that has been extremely hard. We don't know what we are doing in July 3. (when we return from our honeymoon) We don't know where we will be living, where we will be working, or a lot of the time where I will graduate college from. We have been looking TIRELESSLY for jobs to no avail though. There have proved to be no opportunities in Brownwood (just as we suspected) and with the job we were placing hope on falling through, we are stuck! Our next move has become looking in Abilene for jobs and praying hard for something to come up. Ideally, if we move to Abilene, I will commute 3 times a week to HPU and do my internship in Abilene. It will make for a very busy semester and first year of marriage, but it'll be worth it.

Some people have said we are crazy for "rushing" the marriage. Some people don't quite understand why we didn't just wait another year to be married when school wouldn't hold me back. Well to that I say...God. There may be some selfish reasons thrown in there too. (Like changing my countdown from 79 to 444) But we know that God called us to be married this summer. Last summer we began praying (without anyone knowing mind you) that God would show us the time to be married. We felt like God answered when certain events and conversations took place with my family. We are confident that God has called us to be married June 26, 2010!

He is for us and we are confident in that. He will provide and job and an apartment in HIS timing. As for now we will continue to pray and seek and live in a way that honors him. I invite you to join us in praying as well.
