God Works In Mysterious Ways

So as of 1 1/2 weeks ago Josh got his job back!! By some miracle his boss convinced the big bosses to hire him back. There are lots of little details but all that matters now is he is again a working man! And thank goodness! We had kept our faith going pretty strong until that last week we both nearly broke to pieces (mostly me) from the stress of not paying any bills for a month. We didn't know what would happen and were still trying to stay positive and trust the Lord. And he came through just as we knew he would. I don't really know what the Lord was trying to teach us those 4 weeks of unemployment but I do know that we have grown stronger as a family and as individuals. We saw first hand the power of charity and selflessness as so many helped us in so many ways. President Monson's talk this last weekend on Gratitude hit the mark for us. For our hearts have been filled to the brim with gratitude. I am so grateful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us and would never let us handle more than he knows we can. I love you all and thank you for your prayers and love!


Braxton is in this phase of closing his eyes every time I want to take his pictures. Frustrating! But still cute :)
I just LOVE this picture of my 3 handsome boys!


Braxton Loves his hats!



He was trying to ride his Handy Manny motorcycle. It was quite commical!!

I'm so happy to hear this news!! Your boys are adorable, they have the MOST beautiful eyes. Daniel is in Guatemala now on his mission - check out his blog - Elderdanielshipley.blogspot.com
Daniel said he has met some missionaries who know Tyler and Bobby's wife.
Say hi to your family - I miss them, as I'm sure you do too.

That's four weeks Daddy was able to bond with ya'll. And if your boys are anything like mine, I would be grateful to have the extra hands! I'm sorry we aren't closer to you (we aren't close to anyone) but our prayers are with you! Good luck!

YAY! We had sort of a similar experience...wow I hate being poor and stressed out about bills and jobs but it really does humble you and make you remember whats important so I'm grateful for that. I'm so glad things worked out for you four!
