It's been a long four months for him. Losing his job was discouraging enough, but then to apply for dozens of jobs and get nowhere - well, he was feeling pretty down. Not to mention, broke. My parents are very faithful and knew the whole time that God was in control, but it's hard to stay calm while He works things out!
Right after he started his job hunt, my dad applied for a job at another law firm. He was offered the job but counteroffered for a higher salary. Then he never heard another word! It was so weird! Well, turns out the person they hired instead of him didn't do good work (to say the least, from what I hear), and they fired him. So last Thursday, the company called and asked Dad if he was still interested in the job.
Of course he was! And he started on Monday.
It's funny - it's almost like God said, "Okay, company, you hired the wrong guy. *sigh* I'll hold onto Photodad until you figure out your mistake."
So....YAY!!! God got my dad out of a not-good job, provided while he was out of work, and gave him a new job!!! YAY!!!
(That's Photobaby up there - I'm sure that grin is because Grandpa got a new job!)
