New Chapter in book of LIFE~

The past several months have been a MAJOR change for our life as a family. My husband quit his job at the first part of August, out of no where! At first I was like okay, we can deal with this but then reality set in! Applications, Job descriptions, numerous trips around the surrounding towns....I worked non-stop on trying to help him find a job, even if only for temporary, something to help bring some sort of income into our family.
We went by 2 weeks with NOTHING! We were both frustrated....and might I add only having 1 cell phone & 1 vehicle to share between us both! Frugal was an UNDERSTATEMENT!!! We broke down and got him a new cell phone ( since previous was a work phone) and then the start of looking for a vehicle & a job! Wow!!! One is enough to have on your plate at a time....I knew this period of growth was something God had placed on us....We rode around and looked online non-stop for something to drive. We really wanted to get some sort of truck since we didn't have anything to haul our trash, lawnmower or any other large items.
My Dad finally found a really nice truck that was for sale. Low miles, nice shape, not exactly the type we wanted, but who can be picky when trying to be frugal and be in reality with just needing an extra set of wheels for our family.
So we purchased the truck....1st check off our Family list of "To-Do"....might add that same day a family friend needed some extra help with his personal business, so James did have something to bring a little income into the family.....

During this whole process though, I have to admit, I didn't have one sleepless night, I just kept holding on to the fact that "God sees ALL, knows ALL and as his children he is going to Open or Close any doors he sees fit". I know James was frustrated with not having a job, I could tell by little comments and looks of him feeling that he was letting our family down, as being the "breadwinner" of the family! Trust, Faith and Patience in the Lord was what we had on our plate!!!!!

After applying for numerous positions in different settings, finally a family friend got up with one of his buddies and offered James a job! Wow!! I felt like a ton of bricks off my chest....James was  really nervous as never worked for anyone other than himself/family business, he was like a little kid about to start school for the first time....I knew he was anxious and excited all at the same time....New Chapter in our book of Life!

Yesterday being his 1st day wasn't quite as expected, got sent home with 7 other guys as they didn't have enough work for them to do....Another day of frustration and anxious feelings.
Today though on a better note....got to work all day, even though I received call, a very frustrated and upset husband being the 1st day of work, with no direction and no one really to ask.....but as day has progressed, I think it turned out better than he had thought....

We are thankful for this job offer, but we hope that he can find something more stable, but until God sees fit for another door to open or close, we will TRUST IN THE LORD!!!

Ps- All of these high's & low's with being pregnant, plus the physical health problems I have been having has really gotten my phyically and mentally drained....December can't get here soon enough...!
