I'm asking for prayers. As you know my husband has been driving back and forth for 2 years to Mountainburg to work. It is an hours drive and he has sacrificed this so I can work here and the kids can go to school where they have grown up and my mommy and daddy are her as well. He's really enjoyed his job and the kids love him. But, its so hard on us for him to have this commute and especially during ball season. I am basically a single mom with the three kids. Its around the Holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years) and its a hard time for me emotionally as well.
So, we have been praying a lot lately to help find something closer to home. I didn't get to go but to a couple of his games last year, because my kids play here on those same nights. So, to be able to support him and have him home would be great.
There are a couple of jobs around this area that will be coming open (we think) one is the Clarksville Jr high, 7th grade girls head coach with asst. Sr. high. He applied and interviewed for this last year and was told he was the front runner for the job and a woman applied at the last minute and they gave it to her-they like women coaching girls- So, tomorrow he has a interview for this job again.
There are mixed emotions because they have had 5 coaches quit after each year. Schools can be political. Also, he would have to change his demeanor a bit, because these are hormonal girls-not BOYS like is used to.
But, the biggest thing is a young boy that played ball and graduated with honors at Clarksville, has applied and is the Asst. Principles son in law and related to a lot of the faculty through this marriage has an interview as well. He is very liked and a very good kid. Thats just it though, he has no experience. But, that didn't stop them from hiring the Dean of Students son for Sr high boys right out of school.
Anyway, I know what is meant to be is meant to be. I know that God puts us where he wants us. I also know he is the giver of wonderful things too. It would be wonderful if he would keep us in his favor and guide us through this time in our life to bring our family closer together. Even if it isn't with this particular job-just put us in a situation that we can be together next year.
So, please pray for us!
Love you all

You know I'm praying!
By the way, I'm so glad I got to hear you practice "Anyway" at church today! It was beautiful--made me cry, which is why I disappeared.
Everyone's going to love it Sunday!
I wondered where you went. I hope it was a "good" cry. Not that I brought you to tears like scratching nails down a chalk board cry!hee
Love ya!
steph you know of all people I UNDERSTAND! i will say a prayer for you both but like you are doing, pray about it but know that if he doesn't get it, there was a reason greater (like God's reason)!! i know you want to be together...man do i know! i wish kurt just had a job closer to you guys too. and don't rule out that maybe God wants you to go with him to another place other than c'ville. that's possible too!! something might be better there for you all. this is the cruddy part, we just never know!! we never know until it happens. keep your prayers and i will too. what is SUPPOSED to happen will!!! "because of HIM"
Watchy-how did you get so smart? You are right. And I know "YOU" know all to well the life of a coach. Kathy does too! Her husband was a coach for a long time before he was superindent.
