On the Hunt and a valuable lesson learned

Logan and I have been on a hunt the last couple days...or weeks. Logan got sick last week and because of it, doesn't have work anymore. And me, well no one wants to hire me because I just finished Beauty School and want to do that someday and everyone wants me to stay long term. So after applying for job after job after job, it was looking very grim. Sunday rolled around and I noticed that we were behind on tithing and of course we were getting low on money with no jobs. So, we had a decision to make and after a short talk I sternly told Logan that we ARE paying our tithing because we can't afford to not have the Lord's help. As a good couple we paid our tithing and hoped that everything would work out. The next day,(today) we got up, did our normal morning routine: got ready for the day, ate breakfast, checked emails, checked job websites...etc. I noticed on one of the websites that there was a job for a Flagger-which Logan has his certification for but has never used- and wrote down the address so Logan could go apply as well as to a bunch of other places. Well, what do you know, tithing really does pay off because when Logan went into that company to apply for the Flagging position they hired him on the spot!
We are so grateful for the gospel and the blessings it brings by following the commandments we have been given. After all "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." -anonymous.
However as for me, I'm still on the search, but have some promising avenues.
