I just wanted to get on here and give a quick prayer request. Hubby came home from work today and said that there were two openings at work and he put in for both of them. He is not getting his hopes up about either of them because he doesn't want to be disappointed. There is nothing wrong with his current position, and he would be fine staying there if he didn't get one of these.
The first position is an in-house rep, which has the same responsibilities as his current position, except for the traveling. He would not travel in this position, unless it was absolutely necessary, like an emergency or something. The stuff for which he is currently responsible when he is in-house is the same stuff he'd be doing if he got this position. The only difference is the traveling.
The second position is an assistant manager position. I didn't ask him to elaborate on it much, because I don't want to get any details unless he actually gets the job. We know it would be a pay increase, but there would be more and different types of responsibility.
I actually have no preference here. I would like for him to travel less, but the pay increase would be nice too. Neither position would equal a pay-cut, nor would would he get a pay-cut if he didn't get one of them. So, I am really just trusting God here. I will be fine whatever happens. I just want some extra help praying that it will turn out as God sees fit.
Thanks so much!

God's love never changes, but other things do...
There are going to be some changes a' coming. Not just for me though. My younger brother will start his freshman year of college at Auburn in a few weeks. Talk about your culture shock! He is used to public schools and he has been up to Auburn before, but this will be entirely different. I am excited for him, but I'm also worried for him at the same time. I believe that he is a level-headed person and I know that he is intelligent and talented. I really pray that he keeps his mind on why he is there. I covet your prayers for him as he embarks on this new journey.
As for me, well there will be a few changes in my near future. D is getting ready to start school again. I can't believe that he will be in 2nd grade! He is growing up so quickly! My little B is already 6 1/2 months old. Her 1-year birthday is just around the corner!
The biggest change that is soon to come is a new job. I will be starting a new job on August 17. It isn't going to be the most perfect and wonderful job in the world, but it is a better paying job (if only by a little bit) and it is a full-time job. I will be working as an administrative assistant. I covet your prayers again, but this time for my peace of mind and willingness to do God's will.
I truly loved working in the legal field. I really wish that I had been blessed with a job where I felt like I was making a positive impact in my area and/or in someone's life. But the firm where I currently work (until August 17) ended up being a dead end. They want someone who can type letters and pleadings, do dictation work, file things in client files, open and close client files, contact clients and get information, set up depositions and mediations, file stuff with the court, and a whole list of other things. However, they only want to compensate that person with the pay rate of an entry-level receptionist/secretary. For someone who has a husband and two kids to take care of, and bills to pay, that just doesn't work. I prayed really hard about this and it has been determined that my place is no longer with this firm. I don't know if it is with the new company, but I know that God has led me there for a reason. I am trusting Him with this and I know He will not give me more than I can handle.
I ask this of my friends and family: that you keep all of us in your prayers as we navigate through this changing path. It will be difficult to go back to work full-time after being off and/or part-time for so long. I will miss the time I have been blessed to spend with my children, and they will be back in school and/or daycare. I also ask that you keep my younger brother in your thoughts and prayers as he starts this new stage in his life. He will be tested MANY times, but pray that he stays true to his heart and to his God.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Heading home
I am sitting here at my parents' house, about to start getting ready to leave and head back to Theodore. My parents just left with M&M (my younger brother and his GF), on their way up to Auburn. Matthew has Camp War Eagle until Friday, and they all went to start getting stuff settled in his new trailer. I can't believe that he is almost ready to start college. He just turned 18 yesterday. Time just flies by!
Hubby's grandmother passed away last week, while he was in California. The arrangements were Monday night and Tuesday morning. I had intended to meet him and attend the funeral, but my car was in the shop. I needed to have my car serviced and since I was up at my parents' house, it was easier to drop it off somewhere here. There is an extra car here, so I have one to drive around if I need to go somewhere. At our house, we only have the two cars, and it would take some major organization to get it taken care of. It was just easier to do here. We dropped it off early Monday morning and went by around 5:30 to see if it was done. It was not. I had to have new brake pads, a new power steering tube and fluid, and I needed the AC flushed out. I think they also did an oil change and fixed by blinker light that had been out. I had planned to leave Monday night, after getting the car back, and head to Pensacola. It didn't work out that way. I didn't get my car back until Tuesday afternoon, so I wasn't able to attend the funeral. And, since I wasn't able to get to the funeral, I just decided to stay on up here at my parents' house until today, which I had originally planned to do anyway. So, I got to see my brother for a teensy bit on his birthday.
Anywho, I need to head off and start packing up. I want to get home before hubby gets off work. I have a few groceries I need to buy, and I'd like to get my pictures from this weekend uploaded on my computer.

His love never changes
So, this is my first post on the blogger. I have done some blogging with my myspace account, but I decided to give this a shot. I figured, "what better way to start than with the inspiration for my blog title?"
All the world is longing to know security
All the world is listening, trying to hear words they can believe
But there is only one voice calling us by name
One truth we can hold onto
Forever, He remains the same
Oh, I want you to know that
God's love never changes
His love never fails
When the world is shaken
We can put our faith in knowing that His love will never change
Never separated, never far away
God alone is faithful
Proving His love with the price He paid
Oh, I want you to see
God's love never changes
His love never fails
When the world is shaken
We can put our faith in knowing that His love will never change
