Throwing my hands up! Can you see me?

Okay, ya’ll. Life is just TOO much for me these days!

The latest, for those of you who don’t know:

Hubby called today to tell me that his job ends as of tomorrow- the business is going bankrupt, so two weeks to Christmas they can’t even afford to keep the staff hired. We did in many ways see the writing on the wall for this one, so he had several resumes out there and had spent some time focusing in on what kind of jobs he’s looking for in the past few weeks. We just didn’t expect it to be RIGHT NOW without much warning. Luckily, he will be able to file for unemployment and is planning to go into a staffing agency on Monday.

Not 4 hours later, I got a call from an interview I had yesterday that went really well, offering me the job! There’s lots of details, which to me are quite exciting, but I won’t go into them all. Suffice to say, I’m looking forward to what this new job entails and the opportunity for what it might lead to long term. I will be the part-time (mostly from home) web content manager and personal assistant for an “international speaker and national best-selling author” small business guru, who in person is just a hoot! It was a very encouraging process getting the job, and I’m hopeful not only about the supplemental income it will provide (in conjunction with Wiley) but also the experience I will no doubt gain.

All this nutso stuff, not just with our job situations but with my dad, friends who are going through some crazy circumstances right now, so on- it’s just been a strange couple of weeks! I can only imagine what God is cookin up and all that hot pepper He’s throwing into the pot for FLAVA!

Though these opening and shutting of doors is enough to give any one a major headache, I feel more than anything a sense of gratitude and comfort. Today, anyway!
