So here's the scoop:

D.J. has been having a horrible time at his job for the last two years. He's very unhappy and stressed to the max. He has applied for tons of jobs in the last year and nothing.

On Sunday night, we both had enough so we prayed (again) about his job situation. We'd been praying before for God to help D.J. at work, to give him strength and integrity, to be a light in a dark place etc.

But this time, we were both just tired of the whole thing, and we prayed "God, You do it. We're tired, we give up, D.J. tried everything and it hasn't worked so we ask for YOU to move and rescue D.J., without D.J. doing anything."

So, Monday morning, at 7:30am D.J. gets a call at work from an Assistant Deputy Minister from another branch of government, asking D.J. to meet him at his office.

So D.J. goes there, and he offers him a job! Whoa! But that's not all.

1.) Its closer to our house (something I'd been praying about) which is great. Right now its a 30 minute (min) commute, so he spends an hour a day in the car.

2.) It starts April 1st, really fast which is what D.J. needs for his sanity.

3.) Its more in line with D.J.'s talents and abilities. (lots of schmoozing with politcians)

4.) It starts at more money than he is making right now.

So I'm just AMAZED at God's goodness to us. I know it has to do with timing but I think there's also a lesson for us in it. Sometimes God wants to do stuff FOR us rather than help us through on our own.

He really loves us, and wants to be our rescuer and deliverer. We're not burdening Him by asking, He really is like a loving parent so dependence on Him is strength, not weakness.
(for all those I don't need help from no-one types)

Wow! I'm really excited right now.
