A Young Wife’s Tale

Being back in Texas is wonderful. We are surrounded by beauty, delicious food, family and friends. I thank God for bringing us back home.

But heaven will be better than Texas. This world is not our home. There will be no Psoriatic Arthritis in heaven. David isn’t feeling as well here. I’m terrified that he’s going to start flaring again.

I think God must be using our move to New Jersey and our health problems to change the desires of our hearts.

I am so thankful for those things, but those were things we prayed for. We asked for those things to happen. Something else incredible has [...]

David has employment past our move date! At approximately the same time I was writing my last post, asking for prayers regarding David finding a job in Dallas, David’s boss told him they were making him a remote employee.

His company has never had a remote employee. The board has approved making him a remote part time employee for a three month trial period. He’ll lose three hours a week, but he won’t have to pay union dues. We’ll have to pay COBRA for two months, but at the end of the three months, his boss and the CIO are pushing hard for him to be hired back as full time.

This is one of the best books I’ve read in quite some time. Reading the heartbreaking story behind Now Thank We All Our God so close to Thanksgiving was very timely, and makes me feel ashamed for not giving thanks more often. Another hymn of Thanksgiving, We Gather Together, had a surprising story behind it. It was written in 1597 to celebrate Holland’s freedom from Spain. There were so many hymns written during times of religious persecution. It was truly inspiring to read of the faith of Christian brothers and sisters.
