1bassoon Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 My. Husband. Has. A. JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has been out of full-time work in education for 5 1/2 years. My youngest dd doesn't even remember a time when her daddy was a teacher. He's applied place after place, come in 2nd in I don't know how many interviews. But. Starting January, he will be the director of instrumental music at an elite private school here in town!:party: I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how huge this is. He's been cleaning carpets for 2 years, which hasn't even begun to pay our bills. All the while, he's kept private students, kept networking, kept trying. I have never met a harder working man in my life. God is so good. If I could even list all the reasons this job is a clear, direct gift from Him, I'd run out of room. He didn't even look for it - it found him, just when he was ready to throw in the towel and clean carpets for the rest of his life. I can hardly believe it. Shock, disbelief, joy. Thanks for listening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
