Oh, the nerves.

This week is a nerve-racking week in the Stidham home (which is why I posted a silly picture to lighten the mood). One, because the semester is coming to an end which means lots of projects due and finals to study for. Two, I have to find an internship within the next two weeks. I have an interview for one next week so really crossing my fingers I get it. Lastly, Jake has an interview tomorrow for a big promotion at work. This promotion would be so awesome for us! It would help us out in so many ways. The position is a training position (so he would train the new hires) which is basically Jake's talent in life. It's what he's done in past jobs and he would be SOOO dang good at it. Honestly, if he isn't chosen for it, I will be shocked. But I don't want to get too ahead of myself because I do realize that everything will happen the way it is supposed to happen.

This experience of waiting to find out if Jake gets the job or not has really helped me gain an even stronger testimony of the fact that everything is in God's hands and will happen in His timing. He knows what path will be best for us. I feel comfort when I remind myself of that. This experience has also made me realize how grateful I am for Jake and his talents. He is so smart and such a leader (brag moment). I am neither of those things so thank goodness for him ;) 

I decided to call my mom and tell her how nervous Jake and I were about his interview tomorrow. She is my cure for everything. She just listens as I talk her ear off and then gives me good advice when I need it. I started naming all the talents Jake has (like I did above) and telling her how lucky I was and she goes, "Yeah, you definitely are lucky but he is really lucky too Shaylee!" Thank goodness for moms who give you that confidence boost when you really need it :)
