"For better or worse...For richer for poorer..."
This words are ringing all to true for Jon and I right now...
Jon lost his job on friday. His whole company closed their doors on friday afternoon. Jon had no idea and didn't even see it coming. It was a definite shock for the both of us. He called me at work and I immediately left to go and be with him. We both sat together and just talked about what was next. Neither of us know what the future holds for us right now, but we do know that one who holds our future for us. And we are trusting in HIM so much right now. We are taking it one day at a time and one step at a time.
I do feel my faith being tested so much here lately. I know God never gives you more than you can handle, but WOW how much more is He going to give us. I am learning to trust that God has a bigger and better plan for Jon. I would be lying if I were to say that I am not scared. Just the uncertainty of not him not having a job. Especially with economy the way it is. Its such a scary time.
The song "My Savior, My God" is one that I am holding close to me right now. These lyrics in particular.. "I am not skilled to understand.. what God has willed.. what God has planned.. I only know at His right hand stands one who is my Savior!" I feel as if those words were written for me.
I am begging for prayer for Jon and I. We need all the ones we can get right now.
And if anyone knows of someone who is need of a Web designer/Flash Developer/Software Engineer let us know.
Blessings and Peace,

Dear Jon and Katie,
So sorry to hear about Jon's job. Just remember it is His will be done, not ours. I'm sure you don't know but Uncle Floyd got laid off when I was three months pregnant with Frank and we were building our first house. It was so scary but, we just trusted in the Lord and never lost faith and everything worked out. We will be praying for you and praying that Jon finds a job soon and one he loves and can advance in. We love you both very much. Aunt Mary Margaret
