A New Beginning

Well Matt has officially started his new position with Americast. He has previously been their Controller (a money guy) for the past three years. He started that position just about the time we got married. So then he was offered a new position with more potential for growth within Americast, so he thought he'd take this position about the time our first born is due! You know us, we can't ever do just one big thing at a time :)

Matt's boss has been pursuring him to groom him for a GM position with their company, so just this week he started his training for this endeavor. He is techinically going to be an Assistant GM for now. But his training will last 8 months; the first 4 of those are in the yard doing various tasks. Like this week, Matt is training in the welding shop! Now this is an adjustment- he is working 5am to 2pm in the welding shop; and then heads up to his office to check in on other managerial duties... but getting up at 4am is no piece of cake! (I'm thankful that's only a week). Next week he'll be working in Quality Control and starting at 6am, so that's a little better!

I think he is enjoying this newness, he is always one up for a new challenge; especially in his career. I know he's looking forward to learning all the new things about the operations side of things and taking advantage of opportunities as they arise within his company. He is working for a great group of folks that are willing to invest in him and he has continually received favor from them.

We do not know where this new position will lead in the future, (ie: after 8 months); but we wait and trust the Lord to put us where he wants us- whatever that looks like! The Lord has already worked 'miracles' for Matt with this company so we wait with excited anitcipation to see what He's up to next!
