Have you ever had those periods of time when it just feels like nothing is as it should be? I am having such a crisis right now, and I know how I "should" respond, but it is so very difficult making my heart follow what my head is telling me to do! Isaac got news that his store will be closing at the end of the month. He has been with his company for 9 years, longer than we have been together. I never knew how much comfort and security I placed in his job until it was gone, and now I feel like the rug was just pulled out from under us.
I so wanted to respond to this situation with grace and confidence, but so far I have been falling apart, stressed, irritable, and more than a little freaked out. I feel like I want to stick my head in a hole and come out when everything is better, his job is secure, and we can move on with life. It makes me feel guilty that I am so shaken by this when people around me are dealing with things that are much worse. I know I have a lot to be thankful for and I am thankful, just scared. That is the reason I have been MIA from my blog, I just can't muster up the strength to talk about anything else, other than what is consuming my thoughts and heart right now. I read this Scripture the other day, and it comforted me. I am praying that the LORD will direct my heart and mind and help me to trust in this season of my life.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance. 1 Thess. 3:5
