A word from God's Word

Change is going on in our house!``

Hello friends, well I have some big news...no I am not pregnant (hopefully we are done with that), after ten years at the same company, David gave his resignation yeseterday! He has been an auditor with Deloitte and Touche and has made it up all the way to senior manager. We have been praying what to do about his job. He was asked if we wanted to move to Houston since he was working on a client down there, to eventually become partner, but we didn't think the timing was right. I am glad we didn't b/c it was right before mom got sick. So we kept praying that we would know what to do, and one day a person from BOK called and said that there is a job opening and would he like to come in for an interview. See, the CFO is a good friend of ours at our church and was curious to see if David would be interested. He sent his resume in just out of curiosity, and three months, three interviews later..here we are! David is now an employee at BOK. We are excited about this move, but it is change, and change is always hard, but God has had His hand in it the whole time, so we know it is from Him, and He will direct our paths. Please pray for us as we do make this transition, and pray for David as he leaves friends and coworkers that he has known for 10 years and starts out in something completely new.

I do want to take this time to brag on my husband...David Allen Stephens (who just turned 33 last week..we are the same age for 5 months!) is the most hard-working, dedicated man I know. He wakes up at 5:00 so I can be at work at 6:30, so he can be home by 7:00 to see his family. When he is faced with a challenge, he rises to the occasion and meets it head on. When he works for you expect 100%, because that is what you are going to get, no middle ground for him. After working all day, he comes home and helps out at home. Daddy is king at our house, Kaitlyn glows when he walks in the room and the first thing out of Andrew's mouth every day is where is Daddy. He also is a wonderful husband, and my best friend. I love him more than life itself and don't know where I would be without him. Most importantly, He loves His God and serves Him daily. He is a walking testimony of trusting Him with all things and knowing that He is going to meet us right where are, we just have to be still and know he is coming. David is a quiet man, but when you get him alone, he is hysterical. I am so proud of him and all he has worked for, and it is my biggest blessing in life to be called Mrs. David Stephens.

Oh stop! That made me cry!

You forgot to mention how much he loves the rest of his family and how much we love him. He's a devoted son and son-in-law.

We are blessed indeed.
