I'll just clear the air here...no, I'm not pregnant. Funny, though, because when I called my dad to tell him my exciting news, our conversation went like this:
Me: Hey, Dad! Guess what?!Dad: I'm gonna be a granddad!!Me: No, but I got a job!
My sister, Aimee, thought the same thing. But, joking aside, I'm officially an employee at Gordon-Conwell! I will be working in the Communications office as the Electronics Communications Coordinator. We are super excited and just so grateful for this provision from the Lord.
When I think back on the process of looking for a job, I must be honest in saying that it got discouraging at times. I found myself before the Lord asking him why he was being so "slow in providing." However, if there is one thing I've learned through the waiting process, it's this: God's timing is perfect and just because we are waiting, it doesn't mean he isn't providing. He provides patience when we want results. He provides faith when we lack it. He provides perspective when our vision is blurred. And for those things, I'm grateful.
Of course, I'm grateful that he provided a job, too :) And, being at the seminary will allow me to be more involved in what Jon will be doing these next three years. What a blessing! So, thank you for praying, for encouraging, and for following up with us. It's meant so much to us and we want to celebrate what the Lord has done with you.
We pray you see his unique provision in your life and give thanks for his watchful eye!

Brittney, I am so delighted for your good news, and I absolutely love your perspective. I should write this down and reference it... often:
"God's timing is perfect and just because we are waiting, it doesn't mean he isn't providing. He provides patience when we want results. He provides faith when we lack it. He provides perspective when our vision is blurred."
You are a wise woman, sweet friend!
