Crummy news

Jack's pay got cut in half yesterday :( His contract house called him and said either you accept this 50% pay cut or you're fired.

We're trying to restructure our budget and figure out how we're going to pull it off, I'm also looking for a job. I have been for several months but now I'm really applying to as many jobs daily as I can. We are also moving to a cheaper apartment that I need to go look at and put a deposit on today. I want to get as big of a jump on that as possible because we missed our opportunity for those apartments last time.

I better get in the shower and get a move on for today.

I am really trying to keep my spirits up so that Jack doesn't get too bummed. He is really really disappointed and feels like a complete failure but I keep trying to tell him this is not his fault, but that because he is such a good employee that they're really reaching and doing whatever they can to try to keep him.

He did apply for a job at a sister company today that is doing exceptionally well, so many prayers that he gets that job. It's also right around here.

I am not panicking like I really thought I would in this situation, instead I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to really show how much I trust God. I know that He has a plan for us and His plan is always amazing and will exceed ours by a million fold. I know that this life is only temporary, and I have really never felt more at peace. I know He will guide us and help us through and our HOPE is in Him. Our Trust is in Him. I don't need to HOPE for a bail out, I have HOPE in my eternal salvation and eternal future in Heaven with Jesus Christ.

I'm excited to move to a cheaper apartment and start another new stage in our life. I'm excited to go back to work and to look for a job. I'm excited to go on job interviews and see where God leads me in this life change.
