Maybe the title gave it away… maybe not. I know I’m doing a lot of apologizing these days. Life is insane. Oh well, here I go again.
I apologize for not updating more quickly after the interview last Friday. It was fairly anti-climactic. There are so many applicants with so few stores opening, so Tony had a hard time getting a read on how the interview actually went. It seemed like it went fine, in general. CFA said that Tony would hear back at some point – either “yes, let’s move to the next round of interviews”, “possibly, but not right now” or “no, thank you for your time”. So, that left us feeling like we didn’t have much to share.
Well, now we do have something to share. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait too long to hear back from CFA. It turns out that they actually emailed Tony yesterday. They told him that they have decided to pursue other candidates.
And… that brings up a whole slew of “now what” questions. We do know that God is carrying us through this whole drama that is called our life. Part of me is thankful that we don’t have to worry about getting everything together to move and all that it entails. The other part of me feels sort of stuck in a rut.
In addition, we’re in the midst of sorting out insurance issues with Josiah at both Vanderbilt and UNC. We are having to pay some to UNC until we can get the insurance stuff settled or get some financial assistance. With Josiah’s new diet, there isn’t much room in our budget. Tony and I are working on being the best stewards of our time and money… in the midst of the normal activities and stresses of our abundant life.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we sort out what God has for us and how He will provide as we search for His plans.

Of course I will be praying….you sound weary and I can understand why. I’m glad you have some direction now, and I know God will keep leading you! I love you!

Well at least you have an answer. God is definitely up to something and has the next step of your journey all mapped out and I pray that He’ll give you clarity on it ASAP!
We’ve recently begun to eat more organic and all natural stuff. It is hard and expensive. Thankfully there are more and more coupons out there and I’ve found that Costco is carrying more and more organic stuff. Jen and I had the idea of getting stuff and splitting it since sometimes it’s hard to eat that entire huge bag of $5 organic carrots etc. If you’re ever interested in that, let me know. I’m in Franklin 3 times a week and I’d love to meet you up there sometime. My kids actually ask to go to Costco since we’re there so much!
