Trials can be Blessing in Disguise


I know it has been awhile since blogging. After moving back down to Southeast Idaho we put the adoption process on hold because Daniel was changing careers and looking for a teaching job. We figured it wouldn’t look too good to adopt a baby and be unemployed.
All summer long Daniel was applying and interviewing, but in the end no one wanted to hire a brand new teacher when there were other applicants with more experience. Two weeks before schools were starting there were still teaching jobs being posted. He applied for a third grade position, got an interview and was hired, all within 24 hours. It is amazing how everything fell into place.






The whole summer it was a trial not finding a job, but now that he has this job it all makes sense. He is so happy at the school he is teaching at, with great students and a fantastic staff to help guide him. It is funny how the Lord gives us blessings in disguise. It can be so hard to go through a trial, but at the end of it you can look back and see why things happened that way. It reminds me of a song that a friend of mine sang in church a month ago. It’s called “Beautiful Heartbreak” by Hilary Weeks. It has such an amazing background story as well. I highly recommend listening to it.
