Peacefully Waiting...

Well, the last couple of months have been eventful on a macro level, but yet strangely slow on a micro level. As most of you know, I typically keep myself pretty busy. But with the end of bible study, the news of Baby and making a personal decision to put off finishing the women's ministries program, work slowing down, and John being around more to do some of the tasks, I find myself strangely will little to do right now. Most people would be thrilled but to be honest, I don't know what to do with myself. :)

As most people know by now, John was laid off at the end of April...just 4 weeks after we found out I was pregnant. This has honestly been an interesting turn of events. First off, before we knew for sure, I prayed that He would give us peace regardless of the outcome. I would have to say that that prayer has been answered. There have been a few moments of "what now?" and "what drastic actions do we need to do?" But for the majority, we are doing just great and confident that God has a new job for John in the near future that will allow John to continue to provide for our family.

So other than pregnancy and John's recent change in unemployment, there isn't much going on. We slowly trying to de-clutter our lives, especially in the office. We have literally been carrying around numerous boxes of paper for the last 5+ years. We are going through the boxes and it's kind of funny and sad how long we held on to some of this stuff. Most is being recycled or shredded. I have found some photos, documents from our wedding and cards. That part has been fun.

I'm also trying to reconnect/stay in touch with friends and family. I enjoy my friends and family immensely. I just need to be more consistent in not letting too much time pass. Luckily, most of them are gracious.

Well, I guess that's about it. I'll sign off for now and will write more in a few weeks.
