About two weeks ago, a company named EscrowTech International, Inc emailed Derrick and offered him a freelance job. They knew he was qualified because they have his resume from when he was job hunting earlier in the summer. He was scheduled to interview with them before he got his current job (he canceled the interview).
The EscrowTech people want Derrick and his partner to create a web login system that ties into their existing databases. This project should take from 1 to 3 months to complete. Derrick officially started working on it yesterday. (If any of you are curious what kind of company this is, look up "source code escrow" on Wikipedia.)
This is an amazing opportunity. It gives Derrick additional free lance experience (he did some at the beginning of the summer) and the pay is quite a bit more per hour than either of his other jobs.
It's amazing how much the Lord blesses you when you seek to know what He would have you do and then act on it no matter how scary it is. It was a scary thought to start a family 2 years before Derrick graduates. I know having Zachary be part of our family now is the way things should be. I love being Zach's mom and I am so grateful that Heavenly Father is opening doors so we can have all we need (and a little extra). I'm also grateful that Derrick is willing to work so hard to provide for his family. Thank you!

Congratulations! It sounds like a great opportunity.
Wow--Cool story! Blessings ROCK! Thanks for sharing...I got goosebumps :) That's awesome. Love you guys!
I'm proud of you for moving ahead with your family. So many people out there decide that they won't have kids until they graduate, and by deciding that they miss out on chances for the Lord to prompt them and to test their faith. As you see, your faith was tested and you were subsequently blessed.
