Some of you may or may not have noticed that I have been a little less active on the boards and gallery the last couple of weeks. On 10/31 my husband got a layoff notice from his job that was to take effect this friday, 11/21. He's a jet engine mechanic, so he's pretty specialized as far as training and skills go, and there is no where else really in the area we live that he could work with the skills he has.
I was trying very hard to rest in the peace of God and not worry too much. I would occasionally try to get myself out of the funk and post on the boards and stuff but I haven't been making layouts like I normally do and I basically was in a funk I couldn't shake.
Fast forward to today, I got up this morning, the bank had LOST my paycheck and bounced 16 items and charged me $560 fees and all kinds of sinister stuff. Between that and worrying about my dh's job this morning I promise you I nearly lost it. I felt physically sick like I never have before.
The good news is, I heard from the bank that the processing center lost my check but that they KNOW it was at the branch yesterday so they know I did deposit it and they will find it, fix it, make it right, refund the fees...everything. It may take a day or two but she's working on it. Apparently several people's accounts were affected ...they gave me someone else's measley $26 deposit, lost my $3000 (which was my pay AND the pay for the girl that works for me) and apparently that's not all. So they have to fix everyone's acct that was affected, not just mine and it may take a day or so but she assured me I will get my money back and no fees, so I started breathing a tad easier.
THEN...my dh called...the company that is coming in to the base (Seymour Johnson Air force base, NC) to take over the contract that his company had, informed them all that they can keep their same job, same pay scale, everything, effective monday. So he won't miss a SINGLE day of work. God is so very very good and that is just such a blessing to my heart ...to SEE with my own eyes prayer answered that way. I know we don't always get what we "Want" when we pray and that God knows way better what we need than we do. I am just so glad He saw fit to orchestrate this like this. It was an opportunity to stretch my faith and I nearly failed. I got this far and didn't really feel like giving up until just the past few days. Yesterday and this morning were REALLY bad.
anyway I am sorry for rambling, I just wanted someone to tell and you guys are like family to me and I thought that maybe someone might have noticed I haven't been my usual chipper self. I just wanted to praise God and share the good news with ya'll
maybe this means some layouts will get done today!!!
