Wow...that was a lot....sorry. I will try to not go 2 weeks between each post ;)
We found out this past week that Swing shift is going away beginning 04/05 so Chris will be on days beginning 04/07-PLEASE pray we adjust well to it!
A few downs about no swing:
- day shift=less family time
- pay cut
A few positives about day:
- we will become morning people (cough..well early risers)
- early risers=on time to church on Sunday mornings (HOPEFULLY-first few weeks of day shift will be rough)
- Chris will be at church on Wednesday nights again! (WOOOWHOOOO)! Which kind of works out well because we are selling my car tomorrow!
Many of you know that sometime in April Furlough will begin. Not looking forward to this AT ALL. We have been "preparing" for "the worst". Chris has began looking for a 2nd job. Pray he finds one. I may have to also find one. I have several places in mind that I can apply at. But, don't need to...yet.....just taking things a little at a time.
Heart to heart: I admit it...I am A little fearful. Trusting God to provide for us as He has over the past 4 1/2 years. Just need to keep that in mind...and all fears subside. It seems every year...God places something in my life to "test" me...to see if I will Trust Him Completely I have come along way BUT apparently...I still need work. Which. I admit. It is hard for me to Trust & I have struggled with this....a lot. I just ask for your prayers...and encouragement.
I apologize about the lengthy post....;)
