You Change!!

When Bill and I first got married, and the babies started to come...I told Bill that he should get a "real" job. He started Bilco Auto Body when he got home from Vietnam, when he couldn't get his old job back. It started as more or less of a hobby shop, but started to grow (because he's the best car painter ever)!!!
I made up a resume' for Bill and started to send it out and he got a few interviews!
It made perfect sense to me for Bill to work for someone so we could have insurance, vacation time, and of course retirement!!
I thought God was answering my prayers when the person that owned the shop he was renting told Bill that he wanted to convert it to a daycare. This was in the middle of us looking for a home for our family, too!
Bill had been looking for another shop to rent, was responding to job openings, and trying to secure a home loan. He really is amazing (superman)!! He did all this AND put up with me trying to smoosh his dreams of having his own buisness.
One day as I was walking through the house I heard in my heart a loud" Bill's right where I want him Laurie! YOU CHANGE"!! It was so clear and real to me ...talk about a spiritual slap!!
I tried to argue with God (how's that for presumption) because it just didn't make sense to me!
Well, I knew what I heard.....but I wanted to make sure, soooooo, Bill went on one last interview, but the interviewer never even showed up!
I finally told Bill how sorry I was for trying in my own strength to make things work for us which ended up just causing hurt and frustration. I told him how the Lord had spoken to me and that from here on, I would be his biggest cheerleader and trust that God knew and was in control of all of our needs (and desires).
Bill's been in buisness now for about thirty three years and I can say with full assurance and confidence that Bill is doing what he is suppossed to be doing, and YES! I DID CHANGE!!
Bill also found a shop in Menomonee Falls, and after twenty three years he's still there!!!
