It's late; I'm tired. I am also very content. My wife, Kathy, has been supporting our family habit of doing the water's edge new church thing. She is a chemical engineer; I stay home with our three year old, and I try to keep the home going as well as give direction to water's edge. WELL, two weeks ago she got laid off. So, we are without a significant income.
Funny thing... neither of us are alarmed that we are six weeks away from our second child entering the world, and we have no real income other than the unemployment stuff. Before you think anything else, let me say the following - We are not looking for sympathy or food handouts. God has simply given us the faith (on this particular issue) to believe that He is in control. While leaving co-workers has not been an easy thing after such a good review only a month ago, Kathy has clearly realized that God is in the midst of this unemployment thing.
While God has given us peace in this situation, I wonder why I have much less peace about situations that are much less significant? ... and my mind wanders... why is it easier for us to sometimes leave the big things for God, but we have a hard time doing the same with the less signficiant things in life? ... let me know if you have any great revelations! God Bless!
