WHAT a Wonderful DAY!

Okay so I typically try to write about all things Creative...craft projects as well as decorating, but today I must write to GIVE thanks! Anyone who knows me knows what a trying 2 years I have experienced with the endless dead end when it comes to the job hunt. I have spent many hours crying and even more praying for God to give me some insight to "where" HE wants me to go or where HE wishes for me to be! Well, today Wes and I received some news and it all seems to make sense. I am not one of the people who says "things happen for a reason" I've always thought that we create the "reason" to make us feel better about whatever has happened. Anyways, Wes is a nurse and he has been wanting to pursue the field more and applied first to a Nurse Practitioner program only to hear he had not been accepted. Well, since I met Wes he always talked about his desire to be a Nurse Anesthetist. He applied to the only accredited program in the state of Kentucky and guess what!!!!!????? Today, while he was at work THE letter came...you know the one--the one where your heart races wanting to open it and fearing the worst. Well, after much nail biting and pleading I finally opened the letter. Once I scanned the letter I finally found the words, "is pleased to offer you a position"...my heart exploded in that moment!!!! I wept! I wanted to call everyone I knew and tell them how thankful I am that God answered our prayers! I of course had to refrain because I first wanted to let Wes know he got in! Getting into this school is basically like getting into a Med-School so you can understand the excitement!
Wes and I really needed some good news or something great to happen. We both have been hopeful and I have prayed for so long that something wonderful would happen to show me again, that GOD is real and he does play an active role in our lives though we sometimes feel an Absence. I guess I am again reminded of the song that speaks of thanking God for unanswered prayers. I will receive that teaching job this year I have faith and I just want to give God Praise in all I do! I'm so thankful that Wes has been accepted into the program I know he will do well!
