Walkin' Towards The Blessing!

[FaithfulH]

Since I haven't posted in over 6 months on my old thread, I know there are many here who are not familiar with my sitch. While it is all here for your review if you are interested, I will briefly recap by saying God restored my marriage in relatively short order compared to many here who continue to stand for their own restoration.

Nearly 2 years later, I am in AWE of His power to do what we sometimes don't believe is possible! I post tonight to give another praise report.

Many of you know that 5 months into my separation, my old company (I was let go in November) offered me a chance at a promotion in Florida. I decided my marriage was over and I needed to think about the future so I "put my name in the hat". I just missed out on getting that job and instead received a promotion in my then current location (Praise God for that outcome). Fast forward to November 2008 and tough times lead my company to initiate the largest downsizing in our history. I left the company "at peace" and begin my search in this tough economy. Although I will admit times where my faith waivered....God was very much at work (as He was and is in my marriage restoration)! Friday night I was told by the lead company in my job search that I will be receiving an offer on Monday evening to move to Dallas to join their Headquarter's team...praise GOD!

To all here...Old Friends AND New Friends...please never lose faith! God can and does deliver on His promises...sometimes in spite of our waivering. During the depths of my separation, of course I grieved for my own sitch....but, God laid on my heart that there were and are many others in pain equal and greater than my own....some of whom had passed through my life years before and I give them little or no attention. I grieved! I don't think this was a guilt thing....as much as it was God softening my heart to others around me. At that time, I asked God to show me when He wants me involved....and I will be obedient. So, that is my test these days...I come here often to read and I post as often as I believe God leads. Mostly, I found myself on boards other than MLC....but, I pray daily for many (all) of you!

A quick shout out to my personal list of friends and supporters who helped me through....AmyC, Praying4AMiracle, Frank_D, 4Kids, I_Wanna_Make_It_Work, FaithIsBelieving, Jeannette1120, Lisset/Lissie, missmyfriend, Jackthreebeans, BrandNewDay, Cinderellaman, Bworl/Deb, ANew2Moro, Poohbear, Was2Sad, FLTC, Catfan, Steelersfan, MrsH!

My W and I were out to dinner last night celebrating (alright a bit prematurely) and she said "Well, we're empty-nesters now. I'm looking forward to focusing on this next phase of our lives and I'm at peace about moving to Dallas, turning 50, and whatever God gives us!" Well said, Honey....Well said!
