Honey loves to do airplanes. Kid and Bee do, too.
They love feeling like they're floating, the thrill of being off of the ground, yet the comfort of being supported.
That's precisely how Daddy Mock and I feel right now.
Reason being is that God has provided that job that He has promised us!
One thing that's so amazing about God is that he often times supplies your needs and then adds a bit of a cherry on top...you know, to show you how much He cares. It's kind of like buying a bike for your kid, who is ready for one and wants one. As a parent, if you know their favorite color is blue, of course you choose the bike that's blue, because you know that it makes the gift that much more special.
Well, God did exactly that....he started with the quarter of a cow...yes, it sounds funny, and trust me it is...most neighbors welcome you to the neighborhood with a plate of cookies, not a quarter of a frozen cow! Then he provided Daddy Mock with an incredible job opportunity...which meets the three requests we prayed for and thanked God for, because we knew He had the power to provide precisely what we were asking for.
Those three requests?
-that Daddy Mock would work at a local company
-that the position would be at a company that is very grounded, built on a solid foundation, and has long-term promise for growth and security
-that the salary would meet our minimal needs...not anything more, not anything less...
Then came the add in our local classifieds.
Then came the interviews.
Then came the offer.
Then came the acceptance.
Through it all, the peace of God was always there.
And the cherry on top? He will be the Director of Customer Support for Diestel Turkey. Diestel Turkey is a family owned and operated business here in Simpleville that has incredible integrity when it comes to raising their turkeys...they represent those of us who want whole food, no artificial ingredients, additives, and no hormones. Just turkey. Done right.
So now Daddy Mock works for a company that supports our very passion...healthy eating, and is able to be a part in helping others strive to do the same!
Is God good? Indeed. There are several other details involved in our journey to Simpleville that have been more than obvious signs of God's love and favor, but some are too personal to share and well, there are just too many to list... we again are so humbled by His grace and provision.
"Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness. "
