Update on the Job Hunt

I bet you're expecting to hear where we are going. Not yet. We have learned so much during this time. This is by far the most difficult thing we have ever had to go through. God has strengthened us as a family and is refining us as we go through this fire. We are still in base housing and have been allowed to pay a lower civilian rent. We have been able to allow our kids to finish school. We have grown closer to God as we rely on Him to direct our path in this time of searching. We daily pray that He will provide a job that will meet the needs of our large family and that no matter where we go, that He will continue to use us to serve Him.

None of these things are for sure, but we'll share them anyway.
1. John has 2 possibilities with SAIC in Colorado Springs. They are both contingent on winning a contract. SAIC is just waiting to hear from the Air Force who has won the contract. If they win either contract, John has a job.
2. John has applied for a position with Pantex in Amarillo, TX. He interviewed a couple of weeks ago and they told him they would probably make a decision in a couple of weeks. He spoke to them on Monday and they still had not made a decision and didn't know when that was going to happen.
3. John interviewed here locally and they were thinking they would decide this week.
4. John has applied to multiple jobs with Raytheon in the Dallas area and would love to hear something from them, but have heard they can take a while. We still have time.
5. John got a call yesterday from the City of Austin about a job that he applied for in February and they are going to push his resume forward.
6. John applied to a couple of jobs at Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs and got an email that they have sent his resume to the next level for review.

Please pray for us as we make some huge decisions in the next few weeks.
