So we are experiencing a shift in our lives. It makes you view things in a different way. Laurie lost her job at Cypress after 10 years of shifting responsibilities. Out of the blue. No warning or inclination. So that caused us to have to process a lot of new information. How will we afford childcare without an 80% discount? Will we have to move in a terrible housing market? Will we have to leave scant months after Grandma and Grandpa moved here from Virginia to be closer to their grandchildren? Will I finally get a real job? Will it be in ministry?
Trusting in God to provide is easy when you have a steady stream of income. The real test of your belief in his "plan" comes when you can't see 2 weeks ahead let alone 3 months. My personal life has been experiencing some spiritual victories lately and I find it not coincidental at all that this time of uncertainty overlaps it.
On the family front, Ellie is 3 and a half months old and Laurie swears she got her to laugh at her this week. Emma is a young lady and full of energy and enthusiasm for life. She is a girly girl and I will struggle to make her a fan or participant of any sport.
We are still planning on taking our cruise in November but we shall see. This month we are social butterflies. No less than five nights with other families at our home or theirs. We've been wanting this for a long time: To be the type of people who enjoyed others company as often as possible.
