Where To Go From Here

The call comes in...
"Did you get my text?"
"No"
"I got fired!"
"Ok, it's fine, we're fine, it'll be fine"
"are you OK?"
"yep, 6 women about to walk in the door for mom's group, I'm JUST fine!"
"Oh, hunny, I'm sorry.  I forgot you had that today.  I'll go to my mom's and apply for unemployment."
"ok, talk later, love you..."

Now what?  Where do we go now?  Oh, that's right we've been through this before.  Off to the County (you know, where they are going to help us get through this tough time).  NOPE, not this time!  We are over the guidelines by 400 dollars a month, yeah cause we make so much! 

Now what?  Where do we go now?  Oh, that's right...GOD!  He's helped us through before, he'll help again! 

Did we really skip right to the county office before getting on our knees?  Did we put our hope in the government and not in Jesus?  What were we thinking? 

Time and time again, it's God who has helped us out.  And it's God again that will get us through.  It already started with 2 bags of groceries and a Caribou card from our "old" friends.  How awesome God is!  Remember all the blessings from 2008/2009?  AWESOME! 

I believe whole heartedly God allows things to happen for a reason.  When the reason for this unfolds, you will be one of the first to know.  Because right now...NO CLUE! 

Oh and as to WHY he got fired...I'm sure our family and friends have their speculations (I'd love to hear them, or not)...Aaron was brought into the conference room and was told, "On average over the last 3 months, your numbers were not where they need to be (he's a collector with quotas to meet), so we are terminating you."  Blind sided...absolutely.  He is getting a bonus check this month, how on earth are his "numbers" not good enough?  Speculation from some on the inside...politics!  Really?  Politics?  Well, M&K, YOUR politics have royally screwed with MY life!  But, God bless you.  I have a feeling I know exactly where to go from here.

Ahhh, I am sorry you are having to deal with this, but it sounds like you have the right attitude and priorities. Lots of hugs to you and your husband, and sending lots of prayers your way. I'll be thinking of you.

Oh Jolene! I'm SOO Sorry! You'll be in my prayers and I know God will provide--I'll be praying for Provision and Opportunity. God NEVER closes a window without opening a great big huge door down the road--I know this must me something big for you and your family. But until then I hope you have what you need--let us know what we can do for you.

Miss you too :) Just been busy and have a friend suffering from PPD so spending my extra time helping her.

Blessings on you and your precious family!
