There is a season...

Things are about to change in the Davis household. We decided it was time for me to go back to work. That also means Caroline would attend daycare. After a lot of praying, I submitted my resume to my previous employer and was told there were going to be some openings soon. Then Steve suggested I send my resume to him and he would send it out to some folks he works with/knows. I wasn't too comfortable doing that so I put that off for a while. I prayed and asked the Lord what I was suppose to do. I told the Lord I didn't want to send Steve my resume. I now know I was just afraid. It kept coming up in my heart to just give Steve my resume. So I did. Within a few days I was on an interview! I was excited and nervous. The interview went great. In a nutshell the job was mine. Steve and I gave it the Labor Day weekend to pray over it. Soon after the interview I knew I wanted the job, but Steve said he wanted to think it over and would give me his answer the next day. I humbled myself and said ok. During this time I wasn't stressed and felt very calm regardless of Steve's decision. Steve gave it a thumbs up and I think we actually shook hands-we're silly.

The next step after accepting the offer was to get the daycare paperwork filled out. Our first option was the local daycare near our work. I've heard how long these waiting lists are and other stories about this daycare, but I feel God was leading us and we faxed in the paperwork. I called to make sure it was received and I was told right away we got a spot! NO WAITING! That my friends is God. He is laying the way for all these changes and they are going so smoothly. I can't be more grateful and thankful to my Lord.

We took Caroline over to tour the daycare and she didn't want to leave. She starts her 'school' a week before I start work so that will be a nice transition for us all. I admit it's going to be strange not having her around me. When I start to feel anxious I am reminded that Jesus is with us ALL no matter where we are. She will be protected regardless if I am with her or not. Praise the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-22

1": To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

"2": A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

"3": A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

"4": A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

"5": A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

"6": A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

"7": A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

"8": A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

"9": What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

"10": I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

"11": He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

"12": I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

"13": And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

"14": I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

"15": That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

"16": And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

"17": I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

"18": I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

"19": For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

"20": All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

"21": Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

"22": Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
