Something Creative
Well Hubby had a promising interview early in the month. It was the perfect job for him. Everything seemed to be lining up so that he could start working again. Instead we got a letter saying someone else got the job. So now we’re back wondering what to do. He does have 2 small jobs for sure & a 3rd is a possibility but they won’t sustain us for very long.
I know he’s struggling with the whole unemployed thing right now. It’s so unfair but there just aren’t many jobs to be had here. In fact we are hearing about more layoffs every day. The local winery where we have been displaying the Black Ash & More stuff is shuttering for a while. Like many small businesses here they are struggling. We are very sad since they have been very very good to us in the last 9 months. Our hope is they will be able to open for the summer.
Mostly I’m struggling with God’s plan for us in all this. I know He wants what’s best for us & will provide for our needs but lately it seems more like we’ve got to do this on our own. I feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Every time it seems we are going to catch a break something else happens to drain our hope & resources. It’s been a hard long year from 2008 and it doesn’t seem like the load has gotten any lighter.
One thing I am very thankful for is Hubby’s excellent job of taking care of household chores. I’m terrible at keeping up with things like dishes. He does a great job of doing that while I’m at work. It’s been so wonderful to have him around to share lunch times with over the last several months. Just seeing him still makes me smile & makes going back to the office tolerable.
I am praying that my voice shall be heard in this wilderness & that something wonderful can still happen in our lives. I need my faith strengthened & Hubby needs his restored.
