GOD IS GOOD!!



What a wonderful ending to our week!!
J finished up the inspection on Thursday morning, but is still waiting on the results from the inspection. The big wigs are suppose to be meeting today to get all the reports back. So he was able to go fishing last night, but I have not heard the fishing report yet...he did not get in til 130am and we all know I was passed out by then!!

Then Thursday night after we got home, I checked the mail and received a letter stating that I was chosen for one of the scholarships I had applied for...The Langley Spouses Association. I will go on May 28 and receive the scholarship at their awards ceremony/banquet. It is for $1,000. Jason received an e-mail about this scholarship about a week before it was due, so I sent in the application not expecting anything. I have also applied for 4 different scholarships in which this was the first one to close out and I was awarded the money. The other 3 scholarships will be closing out over the next 3 months. So we will see. I was totally shocked to have gotten this because they made the decision on 9 April and I thought they were going to e-mail the results out but ended up using snail mail. OH well...Praise God for the HUGE blessing. And the pic of my face here is the "headshot" they requested for the program at the awards ceremony and they will also use it in the base newspapers and local papers.

And to end my last day as a full time employee yesterday, they threw me a surprise ice cream party. It was totally unexpected because I have only been at my job 5 months as a full time employee and now I will be a labor pool employee with them (basically meaning, I make my own schedule and come and go as I please!) It has been wonderful to work for such a great employer because they have taken care of me and are still taking care of me. The pic is of what they gave (not 1 but 2 dozen of beautiful roses, $40 gift card to Walmart, $20, and nursing school supplies (drug book, pen light, and scissors!!) I was soooo surprised by it all and so thankful to them! I definitely did not expect any of it! But thankfully I will still get to see them all almost daily, as I work labor pool with them.

Thank you Lord for the many blessings you have given us and Thank you for the relationships you have put in my path and may those seeds blossom into what You would have for their lives!!
