Change of Plans

So the first day of training and introductions at Starbucks, this amazing new opportunity simply falls into the lap of Isaiah...A job with a sign company, who would have thought! As it turns out, Casey (Isaiah's brother) was at some leadership meeting and struck up a conversation with this lady. This lady mentioned they were looking to fill a position, but didn't want just any Joe Shmoe. Casey suggested his little brother, and what do you know--- Isaiah had the job before they even met!
The most amazing thing about this is the timing. Isaiah had his first Starbucks training day scheduled but the night before this lady called --- She told him to come before his training just to check it out. He liked the people, the place, the creativity, the job. Needless to say he wanted to be sure, so he attended his training for Starbucks. You can imagine how awkward it was when at the end of his Starbucks training he said; "I'm really sorry to bring this up now, but I may have an opportunity for a full time position some where else." He was very gracious and his would-have-been boss seemed to understand--- She gave him until 10am the next day to answer.
Later that day he was at home weighing his options when he got a phone call from this lady at the sign company--- After many encouraging words and the reassuring "you don't need to interview, you're hired," Isaiah accepted the job. Not even two minutes after accepting the call, the would-have-been boss from Starbucks called and wanted the answer sooner than tomorrow morning. Wow! The timing of it all! So now my adorable husband has a company truck, benefits, and bigger business prospects than he was expecting. Our life lately is laughable!

Rachel!! How awesome God is! After all the job hunting and interviewing Isaiah did, then to get a job at Starbucks, and to have a much better (and probably much more interesting job for your hubby) fall into his lap completely unexpectedly at the perfect time is such a testimony to the faithfulness of our God! We rejoice with you!
