We just found out today that Brad has been given the opportunity to enter back into the trade show market to sell telescoping flag poles again. 2009 has been so challenging both in the health department and the financial department. He has been working at City Wide Roofing for a month now, but because it is the winter months and the slowest time of the year, no money has been made. We can't survive on nothing!
Come to find out that yesterday, Vern called Brad and told him that a mutual friend of theirs is now manufacturing his own telescoping flag pole and is looking for dealers and salesmen. Brad called up Aaron Kranz yesterday and is now flying out tomorrow to do a trade show in Minnesota this coming weekend and then a 10 day show in Ohio the following two weekends. As excited as I am about the money possibilities for our family, I am also finding myself so sad that Brad is leaving for so long! We haven't been apart this long for 7 years! It will be tough being apart and hard on the kids, too, but we need to do what is best for our family in the long run! We need to sacrifice for gain !
I have to take out my leader of the household, bill payer, handy man(handy woman), etc. hat out, dust it off, and remember how to use it right! I am so thankful that I have Preston and Paxton with me to help out and support me! I don't know if I could do it without them by my side!
It is going to be a LONG three weeks, but I know that God will be my strength, peace, and comfort while Brad is away and help me do this! I am so thankful for the support of my family and an amazing God batting in my corner! I know He doesn't give me more than I can handle and this job will benefit our family financially!
Thank you, Jesus for this opportunity! You are always there and always provide for our needs!
Brad, we will miss you like crazy cakes! Be safe and hurry home! Love you always and forever! Thank you for all the sacrifices you make to better our family! XOXOXOXO
