Worse yet, I was about to get a huge promotion with an impressive title, neither of which I really wanted. I’d been there 17 winters, thinking I’d never get out. Then one Friday night, already bundled up to leave my office and brace for yet another blizzard, the phone rang. I debated whether to answer it or not, but a sense of duty forced me to pick up the call.<br /><br />At first I though it was a cruel joke. A dream job opportunity in Atlanta? You’re kidding me, right? Come on, who is this?? The caller laughed and assured me it was for real. I knew the minute I hung up the phone that God was at work. Can’t tell you much about the next 2 weeks, but it included a 2 day interview, a job offer, a small earth quake (no kidding!) and several men in my home packing all my belonging and loading them into a truck. I never lifted a finger. That was 23 years ago, and while there have been plenty of ups and downs, not one blizzard. I still wake up every morning and marvel at The Garden I’ve been dropped into!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01075364174356812651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12094586.post-81293587402236983852009-04-29T20:45:00.000-05:002009-04-29T20:45:00.000-05:00I will forward this post to Robby - our entire 5 y...I will forward this post to Robby - our entire 5 years of marriage have been "Egypt." Two miscarriages, a medically fragile child, a lay off, Cobra health benefits expiring tomorrow, a rental house destroyed by tenants ... God has orchestrated our lives in ways we never would have imagined or desired when we said "I do."Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755891185200879035noreply@blogger.com
