Well our computer has been down for about 3 weeks so updating my blog has been slow. We are hoping to get it back soon. We have also decided to buy a new one now rather than waiting until our current laptop totally dies and we are in a position to have to buy quickly.
This week has been filled with so many ups and downs and changes. A few weeks back we talked about buying a second house if we came across a really good deal. We figured we would move into that home and keep our current home as a rental property. We thought we were going to buy our friend's Mom house for a really cheap price. Then after our friend talked to his Mom again she decided she did not want to sell. Then we met with our friend Carl who is a financial advisor with his own practice. He invests, sells life insurance.... he asked Rob if he would like to come along with him and learn the business. Carl has been doing this for some time now and their business is very successful and they are getting to the point where they will not be able to handle all of their clients. Rob has always said that if we returned from the mission field he wanted to sell insurance.
Carl will pay for Rob to take the 5 day class in Indianapolis and then to take his test in order to get licensed. We feel like this is such an answer to prayer. We have known that Rob could not continue at the bakery since his body is taking a beating and he is in pain all the time. This new position does not feel like a "job" but something he could make into a career. He will continue to trade stocks and work on building that.
I'm ready for Rob to put his two week notice in at the bakery today - but we need to wait and be patient. The next class for his license is not until May 4th. So looks like he will have about 3 weeks or so at the bakery. We are putting buying a house on hold for now as well. We will see what God has in store......

That sounds exciting. I know Rob would be great at selling.
" All things work together for the good "
"God knows the things you have need of even before you ask"
"He will give you all sufficiency
in all things unto every good work"
And...last but not least...
"The things you do in secret, I will reward you openly"
Even working those ovens at night
I could not be happier for you both
AMEN
