Life Happens

     Wow, I haven't realized it's been so long since I've updated my blog. So much has happened since October. Let me rephrase that, so much has happened in the past 2 weeks. Our youngest is on to middle school. He missed his 5th grade closing due to that darn asthma. He did receive several awards (thanks to Grandma for picking them up) Student of the Month - May, Honor Roll and Citizenship Award. The middle child is now a senior in high school (whew!) Just one more year and he gets to experience the real world. This should be interesting..ha, ha!
     AND, after almost 10 years at my job I was told on last Friday that my position was going to be eliminated. I can't say I was too shocked that it happened. My place of employment, like many are experiencing economic hardships. We knew job cuts were coming and I just had a feeling mine was going to be one of them. I didn't cry or have a meltdown, which I normally do in stressful situations, after which I compose myself and create a plan of action. Instead, I gathered my belongings and left. I took a deep breath, knowing that God has a reason, a purpose for everything. This is my opportunity to find something new, something better, something full time. I have been working part time and looking for a new job, but not fully putting myself out there. This is my new beginning. A new chapter in my life. Only God knows where it will and lead, all I can do is trust Him.
