God is Cool

So God still hasn't provided Brynne a regular job, and I am getting the feeling that He might not choose to for awhile. I think He really wants to ingrain the concept that He is the one who provides. I admit that if Brynne did have a job it would be simple to transfer my trust away from God and towards that regular paycheck.
Anyway, Brynne has sent applications and resumes to approx. 40-50 places already. One day she gave a follow-up phone call to this place called creme de la creme. It is a high priced catering service. Apparently she called at just the right time because they were desperate for help on a party that Sunday. Because she was available they hired her on the spot. Later that day Brynne told me to give them a call; so I did. Because I was available they hired me too! About a half an hour later we got a call back from the lady and asked Brynne if she could work tomorrow, Brynne asked if I could work too and we both got the work.
So, two days last week Brynne and I got to work together making some money catering. This is where the cool part comes in. The Sunday party that we worked was really nice and expensive. We catered a private home that was overlooking the ocean (this was their summer home, 1 of 3). We ran food up and down from the house to the beach (where the party was). The really cool part was, they hired the Beach Boys to play their private party. So, pretty much Brynne and I got paid to go to a Beach Boys concert!
Still, no regular work, but God sure is cool.

Good times. I remember getting jobs like that... setting up and tearing down sets for plays with roommates and valeting at celebrity parties... God was very faithful when I was in LA, and it was fun too

So your "Endless Summer" continues! Remember when I told you at Day7 I was thinking "The Beach Boys" instead of Jack Johnson...

Cool stuff! Peace and Blessings!
