I have to tell of how good God has been to us this last week! It actually goes a little further back, but to shorten things up, I'll lay a small foundation to bring you up to date.
My husband has epilepsy, and this causes Grand Mal seizures. Although it's very unethical and illegal, many companies won't hire an epileptic. As you can imagine it's been a little difficult for him to keep steady employment. A little more than a year ago my husband had a job opportunity that he considered not pursuing because the starting pay was so low. We prayed about it and felt it was the way we needed to go, so he got the job with no problems and $2 more on the hour than the normal starting pay! Going into the interviews, the company was very aware of his condition. The plant manager at the time was very understanding with the epilepsy. We went through a period where Chuck was having a seizure at least once a week sometimes twice a day. Chuck missed a lot of work, but the manager worked with him, and assured him all was well. Docs finally got meds straightened out, and Chuck got better! In the last ten months he's only had about three seizures. It wasn't long after Chuck's meds got straightened out that the plant manager left for a better job! God placed him there just for us! The manager now is still pretty understanding, but I'm unsure if he would've had the compassion his predecessor displayed. Then again, God can  work things out no matter the circumstances! This week my husband went up for his yearly review, and he got a raise of $1 on the hour! God certainly takes care of his own! Praise God! I'm so glad I serve a God that hears and answers prayers, and loads us daily with His benefits!
