Tom is on a night run. Well, several night runs. He’s on his way to Laredo, Texas and he had a 2 am pick up this morning. So I can only talk to him at night. Luckily, I don’t work tomorrow. He slept today from 2 till 11 but woke up around 9:30 to call and tell me some good news. He finally got the regional position that he had applied for earlier in the year. It’s so awesome because it means that he’ll be home every week for 36 hours and he should be home on the weekends. He’ll be taking a pay cut to take the position but it guarantees 2500 miles a week which is much more than he’s currently getting which means he will have more money in his weekly pay check. So that’s more money and more time home. It’s such a blessing. We’ve gone for such long periods of time without seeing each other. Thank God for cell phones and free in network calling!

There’s only one problem. I’m having problems with it. I’ve seen the struggle he’s had with getting miles over the past year. He can run up to 4200 miles a week legally but has been making between 500 and 1700 miles a week. Once he’s made roughly 2000. I have a hard time believing that the Lord will bless us with 2500 miles a week, let alone more than that. It would be a great blessing. We both have bills we need to pay. But I’m afraid to be happy about it; I’m afraid to believe it. I have no problem believing bad things will happen. But good things are a different story. I’ve heard it said that you have to believe that good things will happen in order to have them happen so I’m going to work on believing it. God can do all things – even bring miles into our lives.
