Life

Life has been kind of crazy lately. We have been going through so many changes over the past year! We're finally settled in our house, adjusting to having two kids, and feeling comfortable in our new church home. And just when things start to seem normal and routine, things seem to change again. The latest major change for us right now is that Dan isn't working right now. He was in an accident at work about a year ago that has damaged his lungs and after over a year of treatment, the doctor told Dan he could no longer stay in his work environment. SO, what does this mean? We're not exactly sure yet.... Dan is going to be home for the next three months and maybe indefinitely. He may return to work for a trial period (in August) to see how his lungs have healed in the previous three months but that's about all we know right now. More than likely I will get a part time job to help over the next several months. Worker's comp only pays a portion of his salary so we could probably use a little extra money over the months to come. In a weird way, I am kind of excited to work again even if it's just a part time job. My primary and most important role is being a mother but I think I'd enjoy getting out of the house some during the week. The future seems uncertain and it's scary. We can't predict what's going to happen but not knowing only makes me more confident in the promises God's given to us. I know He'll be our source of strength and our provider. I've always been the type of person who has to have a plan and know exactly what's happening and when. But for the first time (probably ever) it's okay I don't know. My faith and trust is in God is being challenged but I have resolved that He is in control and that's all that matters. Proverbs 16:9
