This verse pretty much sums up our hearts at the moment as we are praising God for his perfectly timed blessing in providing the much-anticipated and long-awaited job for Dan. Since being laid off from PSI last March, Dan has been tediously hunting the job listings and running down leads in one of the toughest job markets I can imagine. Thirteen months of frustrating searches and fervently uttered prayers later, we are praising God for providing Dan with an industrial engineering job at Boeing which he started this week. What perfect timing our God has as Dan has started his new job just days before the due date of our son's birth!
Dan's dad retired from Boeing after working there for over 35 years so he's pretty proud of his son, "the bean counter." Dan will be working out of the Everett plant so he'll miss the worst of Seattle traffic traveling North (and away from downtown Seattle) each morning at 5:00 AM.
We celebrated Dan's first day on the job with one of Dan's favorite things...dessert! Ten of our friends from our home group came over to indulge their sweet tooth cravings and savor the rich blessings of our great God that we've all been praying for together over this last year. In keeping with the Boeing airplane theme, everyone hand-crafted their own Boeing jet out of paper complete with words of encouragement or Scripture verses for Dan which we hung from his CONGRATULATIONS banner.
My parents and sister sent their own airplanes all the way from Florida. In true Tyckoson style, their jets far exceeded the rest of ours in both creativity and ingenuity.
Thank you to everyone who has been faithfully supporting us in prayer over these past 13 months. We're so grateful for your prayers and are so excited to have you rejoicing with us in God's amazing blessings in His perfect timing!
