Casualty of the Economy

For those of you who haven't heard I was laid off from my job on Halloween. We should probably be terrified, but actually, we're trying to take it in stride. Yes, the economy is horrible and yes, it is a rough time to be without a job, but I'm luckier than most.

I'd saved up 27 days of paid time off this year, anticipating possible brain surgery, which didn't have to happen after all. Plus they gave me a severance package, so that helps.

I do already have some exciting prospects! I'm not saying there aren't some rough times ahead, but Troy and I have been praying about this. We've been concerned about my job for several months, and really struggling with what God wanted us to do. I guess he gave us an answer. Now we're just searching for that next step.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we consider the possibilities. In the meantime, we're busy preparing for my family over Thanksgiving and Troy's family for Christmas. That should be enough to keep us busy for the next couple of months!
