2 years of Marriage bliss :)



"I'm getting married today" were the first words out of my mouth, as I woke up 2 years ago today. It was a crisp, fall day with the sun peaking through the clouds and the peacefulness of the morning clung in the air. All the months and months of planning had finally come to the day that would turn our lives into the next chapter. It was a day that a dream became reality for us both. A day God smiled upon His kids and said, "This is good for it is my plan." The entire day went so smoothly and as Lance and I took mental snapshots all throughout the day we praised God for His goodness and love.

2 years have passed and while this year has been FULL of many trials, our Marriage, love for each other, as well as trust and care have grown in leaps and bounds. We are blessed beyond measure to not only have each other but to have God's love and purpose for our lives.

Today we celebrate and reflect back but more importantly dream forward!
"The Lord is faithful to all His promises, and loving toward all He has made."

Promotion

This week has been a whirlwind of great things happening super fast. :) Monday I came into work like I have done every Monday for the past 2 months expecting routine of what my job requires, only to be approached mid-morning by my supervisor offering me a promotion to the Sales department in an estimating role. WOW! I was in shock that they want to move me so quickly as I haven't even finished my probation period yet with this company but what an honour to be asked. I drilled her with questions and throughout the day had them answered with management that knew more about the position.

I had the evening to think it over, chat with Lance and take it to prayer. They wanted an answer by the next day. The nice thing was they said if I didn't like the position or it didn't seem like the right 'fit' in 6 weeks time I could always come back to reception. So what did I have to loose? I would receive SO much training and insight into this company that I couldn't refuse. Tuesday morning I gave my answer as 'yes, I would give it a try' and I started the next day.

So what is this position exactly? Basically I am support to all the Sales reps to do up quotes of the orders the clients have requested. I have a LOT to learn regarding glass 'terminology' but it is a new challenge that I'm up for. I'm thankful for the favour God has placed on me to be able to receive such an opportunity to advance in this company so quickly.

Pretty exciting stuff, eh? God is so faithful to continue leading us in every aspect of our lives and we are very thankful. Even in times we don't understand why we are walking through things, God continues to lead and as we continue to trust Him, He reveals amazing things along the way of the journey.
