Molded

So for an entire week.  I paced and prayed.  It had to be the longest week of my life!  I believed in my heart this was God’s plan, but also knew if I was wrong, it would be OK.  I mean I couldn’t get upset since only a few months later I had said I didn’t want that job! 

Finally the day arrived.  We dropped the kids off at Bryan and Jen’s house with the babysitter and we rode over to On The Border.  We all tried to be casual and well….beat around the bush, but we all knew this was more than dinner.  See I have known Bryan and Jen since high school and since we have had children we have only gone out to eat as couples twice (I think) without kids. 

After a while Bryan finally spoke up with ” I need to ask you something”  He did a lot of talking and I heard most of what he said.  It was really loud, and I hadn’t had my meds…and I think he wasn’t talking very loud either!  Anyway, he asked me about taking Jennifer’s place.  He told us to pray about it and let him know.  If I hadn’t been afraid he would think I wasn’t spiritual enough I would have said, “Absolutely, 100% YES!”  right there.  But since he kept telling me to pray about it and for Johnny and I to talk about it.  I decided the prudent answer would simply be “OK…” with some added information about what had been going on in my heart.

So after dinner we went back and picked up the kids, headed home and talked and prayed and within an hour or so..I sent him an email that said “Yes!”  And the journey began….
