I am not someone to stress a lot. I am pretty easy going and trusting of God to take care of me but I am stressed about Jon's job situation and its on my mind. His dept voted today and all staff agreed to a minor paycut which is the best news I ever heard since the alternative was a definate layoff for Jon this week we found out. SO I am so thankful Jon has a job. The part I am stressed about is that this is not the end of the waiting, wondering, stressing game. Now they are applying for a federal grant to make up the remaining difference in the town deficit. IF they get this grant, Jon will still have a job for a few years for sure. IF they don't.... he gets layed off possibly this fall..
On the optomistic side of things... at least the possibility around the time I am done with school and hopefully can find a job. We lived on one income for one year, we can do it again if we need to.
On the pessimistic side of things... it puts a hold on what the heck we are going to do in life if the worse case scenario happens and he gets layed off. Do we both look some where else in this area or the state? I am going to help Jon start applying to be preventive...
I guess you would think that public positions would be exempt from this hard economic times, but they are not and I am just trying to grasp with that reality. I thought were were set for our plan for the years to come. It shows we really aren't in control. I hope the news of the grant comes sooner as I don't want my hubby or me to have to worry all summer. This is just a real test of our faith and I am trying to be patient... God has always shown his way for us in the past, I just need to trust. Please pray for our stress and worries and to be patient and that what is suppose to happen in our lives works out. Thanks for your prayers.
