I was truly, sincerely hopeful until those two words were uttered. Our small department of 6 was ushered into a meeting and I was convinced--absolutely--that the meeting was all about reviewing our previous year's progress as a nationwide department, and looking ahead to the (obvious) challenges of the coming year.
The introductions were brief: I don't remember any of it. Within one minute, those words came tumbling out of our Sr. VP's mouth:
"Business Re-alignment"
And from there, things have been pretty screwy for the past 30 days. Our entire department was to be shut down in two weeks' time, and that would put me on the job hunt again after just 14 months after my last search.
Oh, and did I mention that just two weeks prior, we learned that my beloved is pregnant with another baby??
Sometimes my faith is strong as iron. Sometimes, weak as paper. Tonight, I fit somewhere in between. It's a scary reality, trying to figure out how to support a wife and 5 (soon to be 6) kids and no job anywhere in sight.
Join me on the journey as God transforms ashes into beauty: that's always His plan and we can only cling to Him as He accomplishes it through us and his body of believers at Bethlehem Baptist Church.
May God receive all the praise.
