2 Weeks Notice

Well, two weeks ago from Friday, Andrew got laid off.
He has been working there for 4 years, and since he has graduated they just haven't had room to keep him. So due to company restructuring they let him go.
He got some great experience, and worked with some fun people that we loved. We are grateful for his time, and experience he gained there.
I have learned so much in the last 2 weeks. My testimony has grown immensely. I have seen the Lord's hand in everything, and felt his love. He has shown me how much he will bless you as long as you keep the commandments.
I was on the phone with my sister the other day, and while I was talking to her about life and our current situation, I got pretty emotional. As I hung up, the words to the song Count Your Blessings would not leave my mind. As I went about my day, and then on to the next, I kept finding myself singing the song realizing all the small things that I seemed to look over that I have been blessed with.
I have honestly seen his pouring out of blessings upon us.

Words can not describe how grateful I am for all that I have been given. I am truly humbled seeing how much I have.
These past few days I have been looking at my kids through different eyes, they are some of the biggest blessings in my life, in so many ways. I am so lucky to have such healthy happy wonderful kids.

I am truly blessed.



Count your blessings. Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings see what God has done.

What horrible timing (right after your vacation and before the holidays)! I hope everything works out for him to find an awesome job quickly. Dan's older brother had a hard time with employment just after graduation too, but ended up with the job of his dreams. Way to have a good attitude about things!

Sophie I am so, so sorry...I can only imagine what kind of stress you guys are dealing with. But your attitude to look to the Lord and count the many blessing you have is inspiring :) I LOVE that song! Prayers for you and your husband. Hope he finds a job soon!
