The Right Place at the Right Time

Today was Michael's first "official" work day at his new placement! He dutifully showed up at 6am but no one was there in the vegetable prep area to direct him, in fact no one was there at all. So he offered help to the man assigned to prepare eggs for omelets. While he was helping, the baker came over and asked him if he could bake. The baker told Michael he had a new assignment starting now and he was now the second-in-charge for the bakery. Michael made cookies and biscuits today and said the baker is looking to try out new recipes and make more things from scratch. Not bad to get a promotion from veggie cutter to baker on your first day! This just goes to show you that if your heart is right and you are doing the right things, God will reward you! Michael's new work schedule will be Sunday through Thursday from 5am - noon on Sunday and 4am to noon on Monday through Thursday. The nice thing about being on campus for your job, is that when your work is complete your time is your own until you need to be certain places for count. Happy days! This Saturday morning Madison and I were blessed by 5 men from a community group at our church Vinings Lake. (If you are looking for a church, come check it out! It's awesome! You would be hard pressed to find a nicer group of spirit-filled people who make you accept you for who you are.) These men mowed, edged and put down new mulch for us. The yard looks amazing and the house feels as if it is brand new! Madison and I have been one Publix bag full of weeds in the evenings when the weather was nice to try to keep up our lawn. What a difference 5 people make! They were especially sweet to Madison and that made me so happy. One of them preached today and Madison did not even get out her activities from her quiet bag, she just sat and watched him. He is the children's pastor at the church and I am happy that when she is old enough (his program starts at age 5), she will be comfortable learning in that environment! Thank you so much for spending your Saturday morning with us - it meant so much! Heidi
