Perfect Timing

Ohmigosh. So here is a story (about my own life) that perfectly shows how amazing God's timing is. Last February, Tory lost his job. The owner of the company where he worked found out that he was searching for a new job and let him go. Thankfully, he was able to collect unemployment, but here, it only lasts for about six months. Well, he couldn't find a job anywhere. He got a fair amount of interviews, but nothing ever came of them. It was difficult because we were constantly getting our hopes up, talking about all the things we could do if he got the job: where would we live, how great it would be if we lived closer to family, what we would be able to do in the new city. Sometime in the middle of the summer, he applied for a job at a credit union, but he got a rejection email. After this, his brother-in-law was able to get us interviews with the company he worked for down in Florida. It seemed like a for sure thing. We were even looking at apartments online, and trying to figure out what we might be able to afford. Then rejection letters arrived in the mail. Mind you, during the summer I was working two jobs. At my original sales associate position I was getting about 25 hours a week while nannying for about 18 on the side. (Fyi, at the beginning of the summer I was their favorite nanny. At the end, I was apparently the devil, because I made them do what their parents wanted them to, e.g. violin practice and eating a banana for breakfast. I kid you not, the oldest drew a picture of me as satan.)

This is supposed to be me...

Anyway, my nannying job ended and Tory had still not found a job. We were getting pretty close to the end of the unemployment as well. I think he had maybe one more week left. He changed some of the wording on his resume, and decided to apply for the same credit union job he had applied for earlier in the summer. This time he got an interview. And then another. And another... He got the job. Right when my second job and the unemployment stopped. There was no way we would have been able to live on just my customer service income. But God provided. Crazy, right?
