Over the last few months Manly and I have been praying that God would open doors for his career. I've actually been praying the Prayer of Jabez for him: that God would enlarge his territory, and bless him and those he works with. He loves his job now, and will continue to work there. We really just felt like there was something else out there that would be great for him to do in addition to that, be good for us financially, and not interrupt our family life too much. About a month or so ago a friend of Scotty's approached him about helping him out with some private practice work. This is a dream of Scotty's that he had decided he'd wait and do after he'd retired, but to make a long story short(er) we decided this was what we'd been praying for. This afternoon Scotty will begin this new journey. I'm so proud of him! He'll be great and I can't wait to see what awaits us in the future!
