Desire to do some journaling

The world has changed so much since I last posted something. We now use instagram, etc, but for some reason I went back here and really enjoyed reading the little stories about when Madeline and Gigi were little. I don't have nearly enough stories about all that has happened since I stopped blogging. Gigi is now 14 and Madeline is 11 and we have 3 more kids. We have not been nomadic for quite some time, but we will be again in a few months. We have been living in Philadelphia for many, many years and planned to stay here indefinitely, but God had other plans for us. In August we found out that David's company would be sold and that he would likely be out of a job at some point. So he started looking. It felt like my worst fear coming to light. I have always been terrified of joblessness and the consequences it brings wtih it and it was coming. To make matters worse it happened during the covid pandemic so looking and interviewing would be different if harder. David reached out to all of his contacts, including 2 head hunters and no bites. He didn't even get an interview for a few weeks. We knew it would take time, but was so stressful. During a late night search David came across a potential job that seemed like a great fit, but he knew that the likelyhood that he would hear anything would be really slim simply because of the number of applicants etc. He was able to find a different head hunter and reached out. She responded immediately that he did seem like a great fit. She happened to be the only headhunter working with this company and put David's name in the ring. The next day he had an interview and then went onto round 2. Within 2 weeks he was given the offer. This news was such a blessing. All of my worry and prayers had reached God. He not only helped David find another job, but helped him find a perfect fitting job in a city that our entire family has been anxious to move to. We will be moving to DC in a few months, but in the meantime will be traveling around since our home in Philadelphia sold so quickly. It all seems like a wonderfully fantastic dream. Because of the pandemic everything is virtual right now so we are taking advantage of it. We will be moving to Florida for a few months and then hopefully Canada. I have had my testimony strengthened yet again that God hears our prayers. David has searched for a new job endlessly for the past 4 or 5 years and has gotten close to getting a new one, but never did. It seemed like the lord wasn't answering our prayers and we couldn't understand why. WHen we needed the change the lord provided at the perfect time in the perfect way. I am gratefule for this change that not only strengthened my testimony, but I believe my children's as well. We have been united in prayer and desire and can always remember this wonderful time.
