One year later...

One year ago today my world was turned upside down. I was laid off from my job. I was the main bread winner in our house so was very debased and worried about how we were going survive. Well, my thriftiness has surely come in handy. We have gone through a lot of hard times, giving my car back to the bank, getting public assistance, asking for help with a power bill, the constant applying for jobs and then the let down of "sorry we found someone more suited for this job" Those were the hard times but good things happened too. I have been home with my girls everyday! That has been a dream of mine. My little Molly has really needed her momma this year too! 

I became more involved in my church. Started going to bible study and Sunday School. I am proud to say that I have become close to a lot of great couples and ladies but more important have grown in my relationship with God. I do admit that I think I was angry with God. Why did this happen to me? I was made with my previous company. I admit it I did want to pluck their signs up and hit them repeatedly on the ground. I never did!!! I promise! 

A few months ago I was praying that something good would happen to us and realized that I really needed to forgive my former employer for laying me off. I was not sad to be home but carried a lot of resentment around towards them. I struggled for months trying to forgive them. It was not easy. But I did and things have turned around. My husband is getting a new job in a totally different career field. Which comes with a great raise! We decided that I would continue to stay home with the girls. I have really seen God work in our lives, bring us closer together as a couple and provide for us when we really needed it most. We thank everyone who has helped  us a long the way. Especially the Heart and Mind Ministry and The Man up Ministries at NBC and our families! We love you!
