he said as soon as he & the other 3 trainees sat down in class yesterday, the instructor says "well guys, u just got a $2 raise!" sure enough, curtis' class is the first class to fall under the newly established training pay! :0) he also found out tons of other neat "benefits" to the job yesterday that he didn't know already (yes, there are actually MORE amazing benefits!!!) - the training instructor is a guy that's been with the company for 12 years & absolutely LOVES his job! he told the trainees that this isn't just a job - it's a career....and one that they'll never want to leave
plus, curtis just called - they told him that he'll get his van & gas card tomorrow!!! i can't thank God enough for blessing us with this unbelievable opportunity!!!
my mom just said this morning - "there's lots of changes going on in the Skates family lately, huh?"
that's right! positive changes too! i can't wait for our move to be complete & to have free time back with my family! i feel so full right now - so full of blessings & love & positive energy - right on time too! just when i was feeling stressed & down in the dumps - God shows us that His grace is sufficient - that in our time of weakness, Christ's power was made perfect!
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
