OUR NEWS

On Tuesday morning I looked out the front window to see Travis walking up the stairs carrying a box with a plant in it. Even though I had an idea of what was coming I was desperately hoping that he left work early and decided to buy me a plant. I wanted to rationalize in any way I could what was happening. However it didn't take long to find out that what I was fearing was true. He along with 4 other people had been laid off. The rest of the day was kind of a blur for both us filled with tons of questions and fears.

This last year for Travis and I has been one spent in lots of prayer, over his job , our future, our finances. About six or seven months ago I told Travis that I felt like God was laying on my heart very strongly that we needed to prepare, the question was and still is for what. Is this it or is there more to come? Travis has never been in love with his job and I truly believe that God has something better out there for him. Something he enjoys and can use his gifts in, the problem he is isn't sure what all that entails. So is this God's way of forcing him to jump in or is this simply coincidence. Many times this last year we contemplated the idea of selling our house in hopes to allow Travis the freedom to make a career change. So with all of this happening we decided to take that jump, so as of now we are trying to sell our house with no idea of what our future holds.

I know there are people who may not agree with what we are doing, and even those who think it is foolish. But we look at this as an opportunity. I don't wish for my husband to get a job just to get a job I truly feel on my heart that there is something amazing out there waiting for him. There is a song by Sara Groves "he's always been faithful to me" that I have been really just clinging to and meditating on during this time. It is in my little player thing if you wish to listen to it. But I know that God will provide, I don't know how and I don't know when, but I know that he will!

We appreciate all of the prayers and kindness you have given us, and just ask for your continued prayers for wisdom and patience during this time. God is good and even though our future remains a mystery I know that he has it all planned and in his time will unveil that to us.
