Yet Another Checklist Full of Answered Prayers

Monday, September 5, 2011
Josh and I have officially been in Ohio for over a month now, and so far, we love it! It has been amazing, and we have been blessed in ways unimaginable. Last Sunday, I actually found a list of things dated May 29th I had been praying for prior to the move:

  • A House with a yard in a safe neighborhood
  • A Job where I can really reach and love on women who don't feel loved
  • A Job that pays for Josh's school and gives him experience
  • Great winter coats
  • Encouraging and fun Friends

My exact list. Word for word. How my life is now:


  • I live in a nice duplex with a backyard in a safe, family neighborhood! And let me tell you, after trying to find a house that was big enough for us and in a good location and one that allowed dogs, we were extremely lucky. There are very few of those out there...
  • Jobs: oh my! I cannot begin to explain how happy I am. I have TWO jobs, and both are amazing. In the mornings, I work for a nonprofit called First Glance doing their fundraising and grant writing. And to answer the second part of the job prayer, First Glance helps out the at-risk kids, including teenage moms! <3 Then in the afternoons, I work at the Wildlife Bird Center of Hudson--which has gotten me into my newest hobby of bird watching (Check out my bird blog!) The customers are incredible, and it is seriously the best retail job I can ever imagine existing. 
  • Josh is teaching classes at Kent State and able to cover his tuition! Woohoo!
  • No winter coats, but people have offered to take me shopping to show me what winter coats work best here.
  • No crazy games of Quelf or Jungle Speed yet, but we have met some incredible people. Because of one encouraging friend, I have the job at First Glance. And new opportunities to meet people are everywhere.


We are blessed.
