When God Opens a Door...

After life had gotten back to normal for us (a new normal, but normal nonetheless!) Jeff and I again discussed our plans to move to South Carolina.  We decided that if God had a plan for us there, he would open up doors, so Jeff began to casually look for jobs again.  From the start of this looking, it didn't take long for the doors to start opening.  Jeff saw a nights position at a hospital, which was exactly what he wanted. He applied, had a phone interview, and was asked to make the trip to Charleston for an interview.

Fast forward several weeks, and Jeff was offered the job as a night pharmacist at MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina). When God opens a door that wide, that quickly, you better believe we were going to leap through! I think it took both of us a few days, maybe even weeks, to really comprehend that this was happening. We had been talking about it and planning for it for so long, and God had worked it all out in His timing.  Although Jeff and I are both planners and doers, we have slowly learned that God is in control, and His plan is more perfect than ours will ever be.

We had one month to prepare for our big move. That was one of the shortest months of my life. Packing with an infant is no easy task! Thankfully, we had the help of family and friends, and we already had half of our belongings boxed up from the previous move. We were also trying to spend as much time as we could with family and friends, and see those that we hadn't seen in awhile.

Another example of God's perfect timing is that we already had a vacation planned to Myrtle Beach in May, right after Jeff got the job offer. We were able to take a couple of days and head to Charleston to hunt for rental houses, and Jeff got his pre-employment paperwork all taken care of.  This also gave us and Brayden some time to spend with Jeff's parents before our move.  Finding our rental house was another thing that fell perfectly into place. Long story short, we almost settled on something due to slim pickens, and we ended up with something bigger, cheaper, and with more of the features we were hoping for at the last minute. God is so good, have I mentioned that yet?!? Everything seemed to be falling perfectly into place...except the fact that we would have to say goodbye to all of our family and friends, and everything we knew as home for most of our lives. Yea, there's that...
