Why We Love Him

Josh had a phone interview this afternoon, so he went out on the deck to take the call (for some reason, he thought it might be too loud in the house with a 3-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a 9-month-old). After 30 minutes or so, I looked out the window to get the thumbs-up or -down, and this is what I saw...



In case you missed the best part of this photo, let me give you a different angle...


This is a perfect picture of what makes Josh so special (no, it's not that he plays with plastic animal toys!) He loves God first, and he loves his family next. Seeing this today reminded me that we are the reason that he works so hard. We are the reason that he's so determined to find a job that provides for us. If his life was only about him, he would probably be at Fenway Stadium at the crack of dawn every morning begging for just one shot at being on the team.

Josh ended up canceling one of his interviews today. After researching the company, he realized that it was more of a career counseling firm. His phone interview this afternoon went well, but he decided it wasn't a direction he needed to go at this time. The job is straight commission-based, which is a scary thought in today's economy. We would also be fully responsible for our various insurances as well as all business-related expenses. Yikes!

Got to run...some of our sweet, sweet friends brought a movie over tonight to break us away from the job-hunt for a couple of hours. So we're going to go enjoy some fellowship and milkshakes! :-)

Please pray for Josh's next interview tomorrow. We'll keep you posted.

Good night,
