BIG News!!!!!!!!!!!!

Josh had his interview at 2:00 yesterday, and I think it went really well.  So well, in fact, that they offered him the position!!  We are so relieved, so thankful for this offer, and so appreciative to each of you for your prayers and support. 
As of November 3, Josh will be employed with MedjetAssist (http://www.medjet.com), which is a company that is based in Birmingham that does medical evacuations from anywhere around the world. This is the first company he interviewed with (three days after his "departure" from his previous job), and it was his first choice of companies with which to work.

A couple of really neat things have come about during this process, but I want to share one in particular with you. We had been praying that God would open the door for us to have immediate insurance coverage upon starting a job...that we would be able to completely avoid paying for COBRA. Well, to make a long story short, the CEO of the company has offered to make Josh's effective start date November 1 (which is a Saturday) to allow for his full medical benefits to kick in early. We will have no waiting period, no lapse in coverage, no COBRA!! And as Josh has joked, he gets his first two days off from work. :-)

God has really taken care of us!!!


We're in Marietta right now for my sweet sister-in-law's baby shower and photo session. I know that many of you know Rebekah, so I'll try to post a couple of pictures next week.


Again, thank you for the tremendous amount of support you have given to our family. Between the blog, e-mails and phone calls, we knew of well over 100 people that were praying for us during this time. There should be no doubt that God heard the prayers of His people!! I've got a post in the works on "giving" and what we have learned about it through this experience. Check back soon!


The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3
