Soooo much has happened since the last post. Christmas, for instance (and all of its joys and stresses). We also traveled to Denver in early January for the CRI board and staff meeting, and we were greatly encouraged and excited about the trip to Mozambique when we returned to Dallas. It was just a few days later, however, that we received word that we would not be going on a trip with CRI this summer for a number of reasons. Mostly, we agreed that CRI is not the best fit for us at this point in our life.
So that was crazy "what do we do now?" news #1.
THEN, a week later Tiffany found out that ProStaff was doing a major down-sizing and mass layoff, and she was one of the "victims." That said, Tiffany entered the job-search world again (doing the very thing she had helped other people do--find jobs). Things are looking good, but nothing has fully come through as of yet.
And that was crazy "what do we do now?" news #2.
Yet through it all we praise God, for His plans transcend anything we could imagine. We thought we had everything planned out for the next several years of our lives, and God completely shakes things up.
And that can be good.
Hard, but good.
Indeed, it can be very good. With the insanity that is my work/school schedule, having Tiffany at home during the day has proven to be--oddly--a blessing, as I have gotten to see her more than before. Sure, the circumstances behind her being home are less than our ideal, yet God has an ideal for us that far surpasses our own plans. We truly serve a sovereign God...and we like it that way.
