Ariel’s job, take 2

So I just got a call from Ariel whose at work right now saying come March when the new medical center opens there’s a “very high possibility” she would be able to transfer to days on the pediatrics floor (where she currently works). This would be GREAT!!!  We are praying hard something would happen for her to get switched off nights, because it’s really been wearing on us the last several weeks.

It’s hard to not get our hopes up with this. We trust whatever God has in store for us is best. But we are definitely praying hard for this.

More MZMO

A few days ago Reed and I got the chance to share the gospel with someone from MZMO. We’ll call him “Jamie” (because the other guy who I know named Jamie reminds me a lot of him).

I’m not going to lie as I was making plans to get lunch with this guy I was really praying hard that God would give us a chance to share the bridge with him.  And God did!

He seemed pretty interested throughout.  Jamie’s grown up in the church but is really trying to figure out for himself what it looks like to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Pray hard that we would be able to get another opportunity to talk with him before the winter break.

Ariel’s (potential) new job update

Ariel still hasn't heard back from the manager as to whether or not she's been picked for the days position, but the more Ariel learned about it during the actual interview the more unattractive of a position it turned out to be.  The HUGE perk is that it's days.  However, the actual type of nursing it is is uninteresting to Ariel and would be pretty challenging. She's been working with children and the position is for adult women who've come out of surgeries, cancer, etc...  If she is offered the job we would need to pray more about whether it's really something she would want or whether we should stick it out a bit longer with her working nights on a floor she really enjoys with the possibility of moving to days on the same floor sometime in the future.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
