My husband lost his job on Thursday of last week. He knew the company was struggling and had already started sending out resumes. Last Wednesday, the day before he was laid off, he had a phone interview with a recruiter, on Friday he had another phone interview, and on Wednesday of this week he had a face to face interview. Today he got a call saying that he had been chosen for the job! If all goes according to plan, he should start on this new job February 2!
We are so very thankful that this didn't drag out for months. So many people are without jobs right now, and it seems that each day the news reports of even more layoffs and business closing. We feel very, very blessed.
Thank you all for your prayers, good thoughts and well wishes for us. They meant so much to me!

Indeed you are blessed, Robin. Each and every 'chicken in my nest', including 'The Rooster', hangs on a perilous roost (each heart beat synchronized with the automotive world, living and breathing on news of each day). Rejoice and be glad! I live in faith of a beautiful tomorrow ...

Thanks for the b'day wishes. I can't believe I am 41. My body is starting to remind me daily, however! I refuse to believe they aren't shrinking the print on medicines, etc.! It can't be my eyes! LOL!!!
Hope you have a wonderful day! Love your blog and your photos! You are so gifted!

Robin, what a joy to hear that your dear hubby has already been offered a new job! He is so blessed to have a loving wife who not only stands beside him in the good times but who stands beside him in the hard times and lifts him up in prayer. I thank God for His faithfulness and provision.
Praise the Lord! I would shout it from the mountain tops! Fantastic!
This is wonderful news, and what a great relief for your family.
I hope all is going well with the new job and that your husband settles in well and enjoys it.
