Thank Heavens for Husbands!

As you have all been told, I say I have the best husband in the world...I truly believe it. However, I have to inform you of somethings to prove to you why Travis Jay Williams is the sweetest man alive.
I've been working in a cardiology clinic for a year and a half and the past few weeks, I've been so stressed, with another cardiologist starting. I have now three physician's I work for, which is unheard of...most doctors have one secretary or share with another physician. So I've been getting out of work LATE the past two weeks and feel like I'd rather not be here anymore because the stress has been way too intense. I feel bad because Trav gets to hear me when I get home and with my frustrations at work, he just listens. (At least I think he's listening)
Well, I've been extremely stressed, low self-esteem, and have been feeling like life is not worth living each day...(I'm fine...just had not recognized what I could do to help) Well, I called my mom, which is my daily routine on my way to work. My mom told me how Satan tries to get to my thoughts and he's trying to destroy my happiness. I have not been joyful, Happy-Hollie for awhile and when I realized that I do not have to be subject to him. Yes, it's okay to be stressed, however, it's not God's ways that are frustrated, it is man's. I read in my scriptures and thought all day long about David and Goliath. I could defeat the giant who was bringing me down.
I got to work one morning this week and I explained to Travis my discovery that the adversary was having ahold of my thoughts and was causing more grief than necessary. Then to my surprise, Trav sent me a text "I agree. Just pray. I love you." You do not know how much that has helped me. I have kept that message saved so I can look at it when I'm having a bad day.
Well, to top that off, last night, I got home late from school and a hair appt and just laid in Trav's arms. Travis told me, "I wanted to show you something, so I printed it out." I was so excited...I love surprises...! (I usually ruin them) I went to the printer and found his homework printed out and then...There it was...Our tickets to our date night tonight! Travis had planned our date night and surprised me with tickets to the movie I had been dying to see!! He is just so cute and really tries hard to take care of me.
Each morning when I say my prayers, I make sure to thank Heavenly Father for my Husband!
I love you Travis Jay Williams! Muah!

It Finally Happened!!!

Well, I'm just so estatic right now!! I am so happy and cannot express my love to my Heavenly Father as I'd like because I just feel so loved!!! OH MY GOODNESS! I guess I better tell you. Well, as you know, or some of you may not know, Travis has been a roofer for many years, and with our economy, has been a difficult job to work in. Also, with the desire to finish his education, it's been hard for Travis to be able really work full time and go to school full time. Well, as it would have it, he has applied everywhere for the last 14 months, and more fervently the last 9 months. Well as each interview or application would bring the result of rejection...it was hard to not get discouraged. Well, we have been talking about the things we'd like to do in order to get out of debt and work towards our family goals, and as it would have it, Travis had a job opportunity from one of his friends. He applied, and once again, it was turned down. I'm telling you, the Lord has tested our patience this whole marriage, and has taught us to rely on others, on Him, and to realize that we cannot do this all alone.
This is when our faith was put to the test. Travis' friend called him again, and told him about another opening at his work. Travis applied and two days later had a phone interview. Then had an interview with the company, and then it happened. The weeks worth of waiting to hear if this would be another denial, or a reminder that maybe we have not been in the right place at the right time. Each night we go to bed, we make sure to thank Heavenly Father for our jobs and for the opportunity to work each day. We understand there are many who do not have jobs, and we are so richly blessed. Well, as it would have it, today while I was at work, I got a text from Trav. I looked at it and could do nothing be cry. HE GOT THE JOB!!!! This was the absolute greatest day of my life. My husband can have a good job, with benefits, to go along with mine, and can focus on school. He can finish his education and we can accomplish all of those things that Heavenly Father would like us to do. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who knows who we are. He knows Trav's needs, as well as mine, and he can test us, and can try our faith, but as it would turn out, He ALWAYS has us in mind.
I love my Heavenly Father so much, and he is the greatest Father. He has richly blessed our lives so much, and still continues to bless us! I love my husband more than anything....I love him with all my heart plus a trillion more.
It Finally Happened! It just took patience, and faith...and trust.
