Answered Prayer

In the last month we were throwing around the idea of switching me to a different visa so that I have the freedom to work part time. It would require that I am listed under Noah’s missionary visa as his dependent. I wasn’t sure if it was the best option at the moment and prayed, asking God to make it obvious what we should do and open any doors for potential work if He had anything for me.

A few days later I met with a friend and announced we were pregnant. The next day her husband, also a graphic designer, called to let me know he had previously given my name to a web company that needed a pregnant writer to be their new featured blogger. He didn’t know at the time of talking to them that I was pregnant… he just told them he knew I wrote and blogged. But when his wife went home and told him our news, he couldn’t believe it. I now fit the criteria for the freelance job.

He emailed the company and introduced us, letting them know I was pregnant. After some chatting and meeting face to face, they decided to hire me. I am excited to work on my writing, share my story with other women around New Zealand, have the opportunity to be an encouraging and positive voice to the women here and make a few extra dollars.

The company is national and every pregnant woman here is in contact with them on some level. I hope to help the company gain more traffic through the blog and am excited for the challenge! Most of all I am thankful and amazed at God’s perfect timing and open doors yet again. Thanks to our friend who thought of me for this job and to God for being the overseer of all our needs!
