Trust and trials

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths" Proverbs 3:5-6

Last night we were dealt a huge blow that left us both reeling. Tim was informed that the plant that he works at is closing. That means anytime after January he could no longer have a job. They are hopeful that the plant will stay open until middle of 2010 but there are no guarantees.

We are both obviously anxious over this turn of events. What now? what if he cant find a job? wow the dreams of me staying home full time just vanished! I may be going from part time employment to having to work full time and overtime if Tim cant find a job. Will we have to move? It is scary not knowing what the future holds.

Tim (wonderful guy that he is :-) reminded me last night that it's all good. God has provided for us continuously and we will have faith in that. This is something that He will use to change us, mold us, or move us out of our complacency. God has something big in store for us and we have to trust Him. So again we will be waiting on Him, waiting on His direction, provision and strength.

Blessings

Amy,
I will be praying for your family and what the future holds as you trust in God to lead you through.
One side note, praise the Lord you have your newest addition already home and you are not having to make adoption payments as you worry about your financial future stability.
