Some Super News for Our Family!!!

[Kitchen Diva]

Hey there fellow Cheffers!

I wanted to share some awesome news with you guys.




After 7 longs months of being unemployed...

Spoiler

My husband got a job and starts this Monday- December 1st!!!

I just had to share it with all my Cyber-chef buddies!

There is a little more than a handful of you who I have leaned on during this difficult time for DH and me. I have had just a few moments of fear and battle weariness, but have tried so hard to keep my faith and know that God would provide and come through, and you guys (you know who you are) kept us lifted up in prayer and encouraged me when the enemy was attacking me and coming against me in numerous ways.

I thank you guys for your prayers, laughs, encouragement and timely bible verses! If I didn't have you guys, the past 7 months would have been bumpier than it was!

Second bit of great news for our family- my niece has started talking to people outside the family about what her daddy did to her. She started acting some things out on the Pastor and his wife- and additionally threatened to tie up their hands, through them in jail and burn the church to the ground. Pretty intense for a 4 year old, don't you think? Anyway, they now have some additional evidence against my sisters husband, and it is only a matter of time before they pick him up and officially charge him with sexually abusing his child.

Well- that's it in a nutshell- DH is going to be working for the company where I work- he's going to run our new facilty AND be the HR manager. Myself and another collegue will handle the benefits portion of HR, and the employee anual reviews. I'm excited that I get to buy hairspray from the salon again! lol. I think we learned to be better stewards of our money throughout all of this, and I believe we blessed people in a financial way more than we did when DH was making OOOODLES of money!

His new job doesn't pay anything near what his job description demands, but we are trusting in the Lord that He has His reasons, and that we don't have to make as much money as we were in the past.

So thanks for helping me through another "adventure" in the day and life of the Kitchen Diva.

Know that I pray for you all- and I truly believe that God will Bless all of you!!!


HUGS!!!

[chefann]

That's great, Kacey! I'm doing a happy dance for you over here.It's funny that you mention that the situation has helped you manage your money better. I was just thinking that yesterday about the money situation in my household - we may not have everything we want, but we still have the things we need.

Wow, I'm so happy for you and him!!!

My husband started his new job last Monday and will already be in charge of the entire plant this week - his boss is going to be out for surgery! He is a little nervous to say the least!

I wish your husband the best of luck in his new job! I'm so happy for both of you!

Yah! What a great thing for your family!

 

[pcchefjane]

Congrats on your DH's job! I will definitely keep your little niece in prayer! What a horrible thing for her father (because a man has to "earn" the title of daddy) to do to her! I'm just glad she was able to tell someone before it got worse! I also pray for his quick arrest!

 

[pamperedharriet]

So happy for you Kacey! I was praying that good things would come your way with all the prayers you've been sending me and others.

I'm also happy that your niece was able to speak up on that rotten ordeal. I pray that justice will be served and that someday your niece will be able to live without that playing in her head.

[vwpamperedchef]

Well that is something to be Thankful for! Congratulations!!

 

[JAE]

Yay, Kacey! Glad to hear it. You were in my prayers.

 

[Chef Michelle D]

That is so great Kacey, I know when my DH was laid off it was tough on us. I am sure he is a very happy man now. I am glad your niece is able to talk about what happened to her. Please know she is in my prayers.

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Guys, thanks so much for all the sweet and thoughtful replies. Sorry I was absent again for a couple days.

Your prayers meant so much to me and John! Thank you for lifting us up in prayer and for the encouragement that you sent to me as well. I love you guys!

I'll keep you up to date on the situation with my niece. Before they told my sister not to let her talk to him on the phone anymore- until he repents and is remorseful (he's still denying it- even after a failed polygraph, etc). Anyhow, my niece said to him "Daddy, are you ever going to play jail with me again?" And he said: "I never played jail with you." And she said: "Yes you did, and you will NEVER play jail with me again, do you hear me daddy!?"

Way to go you little 4 year old spitfire!!!

Blessings to all, and I am still keeping lots of you in my prayers for blessings to come your way as well.

HUGS!!
(ps, I don't have spell check here at work- sorry!!! and I also forgot to spell check the post that started this thread, I aplogize for any blantant errors!!!)

So glad to hear your good news! I hope your DH loves his new job! What great news for Thanksgiving.

And I hope that things get properly set in motion for your neice and your sister finally...

I think the fact that my niece is now telling her pastor and the pastor's wife what her father did to her is awesome, and according to my sister's lawyer great news for their case.

My sister does have 30 days to head back down to SD to get all their things, as they are losing their house down there. So that's not good news, but the family and her new church up here and her old church down there will all meet at the house and help her pack and move things to storage.

I'm excited for DH as well, and it was wonderful news to have right before Thanksgiving- I actually had a dream that we were going around the table on Thanksgiving and saying we were thankful that DH got a job just in time for the holiday's.

Exciting times for sure! Thanks again for all the congrats, guys- you've stuck with me through this roller coaster that I just had to share the happiness with all of you!
