This is sort of funny, and sort of makes me cringe. In a previous post I wrote about my excitement about us moving soon. Well, everything is on hold now.
Just after we returned from DC, we got word that Matt's position would be ending around Thanksgiving, and he would have to revert back to his old job. He was crushed. He did such a great job at what he did that they set a department record. The news was total shock to us, as I had just put in notice at my job and we had started looking for places to live across the state.
I have been unable to write about it because we just do not know what to do. Matt is doing an amazing job at keeping his head up - I am a little slower at that, but we do manage to still have a sense of humor about it all. We are praying about it all, and trusting that God has His reasons for all of this.
I am aching to have a place of our own, but in the meantime I will remain grateful for Matts' folks hospitality. I long to rid my life of a time-sucking commute, but in the meantime I will be grateful for public transportation.
Well, at least I work at a winery! :)
I hope to update my blog soon when we know more, and I have access. Until then!

Awww, Ru. I know this must have been crushing. I am so sorry, but you're right...our sweet Jesus is so faithful and His plan is always way better than we think ours could be. Praying for you both as you wrap your minds and hearts around HIS plan for you! Love you!
I am so sorry! I will keep you in my prayers these next few weeks that His plan will be clear, that you'll both feel Him walking through this with you, and that the silver lining will show up quickly. I've been doing some silver lining/rainbow hunting of my own lately- it's not always fun I know.
Hugs and prayers from NC!
I don't mean to sound negative, but it doesn't sound like where he works is such a great company to work for after all. He has MORE than proven himself and deserves way more than they are willing to give. He should look elsewhere. Vern
I too, am sorry Roo. I often wonder why God allows the things he does. I have the taste of defeat in my mouth - we just lost our trial - one that I was convinced we were on the side of angels for ... I am sorry you guys were blindsided by this and I hope that you can keep taking the bigger perspective. We often don't understand what it is that God wills, but He always has his reasons.
I'm so sorry. I'm praying for you guys.
Hugs!
I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a wonderful time. Thinking of you with love and prayers from NC!
