I think we have been here before

Question: Why on Monday mornings does it seem things always go wrong? It’s like a rude awakening; yup it’s not the weekend anymore, welcome back to LIFE!

This morning we were greeted by some not fun news. I realize that I never talked about the fact the Phil’s contract position ended last Friday. Though there have been a few different possibilities, nothing has come up yet, so as of today Phil is at home waiting for a phone call. He was also in the running for what we thought was the perfect job, and found out they chose someone else… yes we found this out this morning… go figure.

Ok, to be honest, I am so confused and frustrated! I know that God has a plan, I am sure that He will take care of us, I know this has all happened for a reason. Though I know these things and have seen God work in our lives in ways we didn’t think were possible, somehow I still feel lost. I feel so human, so shakable. I just keep on praying that God will give me the faith to trust Him, to make it more than head knowledge.
Even as I say these things I feel stupid because I know that God has and will take care of us. He has shown this time and time again. I am excited to see what God has in store, and I really do pray that in my unbelief, God will continue to work in me to follow Him better everyday.

OK…. Therapy session is over…. Thank you for listening, I feel much better.

This weekend was so good for both Phil and me. Friday we had two couples over from our small group for dinner and games. It was a blast and we are continually thankful for great friends in our lives! Saturday, my cold got the best of me and so we spent the day relaxing. Though I felt really lazy it was so nice to just lie on the couch and sleep and relax. Sunday we slept in till WAY to late (honestly, I didn’t know I could sleep in that much anymore!) and when we got up headed outside to the beautiful sunshine. It was 63 and oh so very sunny. For March 14th, I believe we got a record amount of yard work done! The whole yard was just a mess after winter, so we got everything cleaned up, had a fire and burned a bunch of wood and the Christmas tree, took down the Christmas lights, cleaned the excessive amount of doggie presents all over the lawn, and even got an area behind our garage ready for new soil and grass! Phil even changed the oil in both of our cars; honestly the man can do ANYTHING! It felt so great to be outside in fresh air and getting stuff done! We are both very excited for all there is to do in the yard once things warm up even more.

If anyone knows of any job openings or contacts for Phil, we would greatly appreciate it!
