It's Been Almost Four Years Ago?

Wow, my last post was almost 4 years ago! A lot has changed since then. I did complete Leadership Oak Ridge! It was a great learning experience. In March 2013, I was let go from Emory Valley Center. I spent four months unemployed and looking for a new job. One day, I decided to submit my resume to several hotels. They called me the next day for an interview and I was hired. I spent just over a year a the Sales Manager for three Choice Hotel properties in Knoxville. It was during this time that our oldest daughter was hired with Disney. This meant that she needed to move to Florida. I will share more about God's hand in that in a later post. We also lost Tina's father (a mentor and friend), Steve this past Summer. Our family spent a couple weeks in California during his final days and then getting the service together. Linda (Tina's mom), has since come to live with us. We are happy to have her here!
In August 2014, I was offered a job with the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce and took it! I am blessed to work with a great team!
Our youngest daughter is now a Senior in high school and we look ahead with her to graduation. Tina is also completing her Associates in Music at a local community college. She too will be graduating in May.

The other day I was asked how we ended up in Tennessee. Throughout our story I was reminded of what God told us before we left California. He said "don't worry, I am going ahead of you". He has been true to His word and I am grateful.
