Our Surprise Christmas Gift





When Cowboy first went to work at Hobby Lobby in 2002 we were overwhelmed by the company's witness to its employees. One of the amazing things was that the company has a chaplain for its corporate employees. A year ago the chaplain began talking to him about how there was a need for a second chaplain. There were simply too many ministries to oversee and too many people with needs that she couldn't get to. Cowboy and I began praying then for God to open that door if it was where God wanted to use him. Recently Cowboy's hours have been really crazy and he's been quite sleep-deprived, causing us to pray even more fervently about this potential. Saturday morning he went into work and found out that he would be starting work on Monday morning as a Chaplain.

Cowboy put in his first day as a chaplain yesterday. He has much to learn, but has never been so excited about a job. He now gets to share openly about our mighty God who wants to be in relationship with the people He created! How cool is that?

What an incredible Christmas gift from God!

Cowboy's job sounds so cool! Saw that you visited my blog and wanted to say HI. And to answer your question...I do take Meletonin plus a prescription for sleep. But because of the fact that I would not prob. wake up in six hours with them...I took Benedryl for my allergies...usually works...did not this time! Thanks for the suggestion though...it does truly work!
Merry Christmas!
