HIRING

     Nothing deep just an O'Brien news update! Our Fire Dept. were Paul has done all his volunteering is staring their hiring process. Its quite the process with testing an multiple interviews if you make it through everything. Today Paul is turning in his application. November 29th is the general aptitude test (7pm.). Paul already has certification for the physical test so he wont need to take that. We are praying for favor and steadiness of heart as this is what we have been working so hard towards but our hope is in Christ not the "perfect" job. 

     With Halloween I didn't tell the boys when it was until the day before. Troy screamed and said, "And we don't even have to wait along time!" I feel like God just did the same with me. He knew the whole time when Florence would start their process but He didn't tell us. We got to be thankful for the today and not be thankful just cause we were getting what we wanted. Income of any sort of course is what we wanted but our ultimate desire would be to have income and Paul enjoy what he is doing. So going from waiting in the unknown time frame of our current season to having a date of Nov.29th as the start of a possible season change for us is pretty exciting! YAY!
   
ps. I told the boy's about the hiring process and over heard this conversation when I left the room.

Troy: Bear! Today is the day! Dad is going to ask the fire dept. if he can be a fireman all the time! He    has take a test and they will tell him yes or no!

Bear: Yes! That is so exciting!

Troy: So we have to pray that Dad gets to be a fireman all the time....Ok?

Bear: I want to build a fort.

Troy: Ok get your blanket.
