Next step

It has been amazing to watch God work in the last couple of weeks. As many of you already know, Andrew has been in the process of applying for a Detention Officer position with Harris County Sheriff Department in Houston.

Since having successfully passed the written exam (April 11), this let him move onto the next step in the applying process….. the background check! Andrew had to fill out a background packet about his life and ask for letters of reference. He was able to complete this by the end of the April. Well he called over to Harris County at the beginning of this month to make sure they had received it. The guy who took his call could not seem to find his packet anywhere. He told Andrew to hold on so he could figure out what happened. The guy gets back on the phone and says that it had already been assigned a background investigator. The guy seemed a little shocked that it got assigned so fast. (:

Andrew was then instructed to call back in a few days to talk with the investigator. He gets the chance to call the investigator back on Monday (May 5). To make a long story short, the investigator wanted to see when he could get out there again to do the “final steps” of the applying process. Hold up a second….. I thought the background was going to take a couple on MONTHS! All in all, Andrew is making a trip out to Houston at the end of this month to complete the applying process. The investigator said that by the end of this trip, he will leave knowing if he has a job or not. This is all so crazy!!

I would never think in a million years about how quick the process has gone so far. Andrew and I have just been sitting back really watching God work. To where Andrew is at this point, is all because of God. It just has been great to watch.

We are not out of the wood yet through. Andrew still has the “final steps” to do and this is going to be a real testing time for him. He has no control over this final phase and I think that worries him a bit. So please keep Andrew in your thoughts and prayers as the date approaches (May 29 through June 4).
