God's Provision

As 6 pm rolled around on May 8th, I began to get worried because Jeremy hadn't got home from work yet and the boys and I were ready to eat. I started to feed the boys and Jeremy finally came home. He joined us at the table kind of quiet and we both made small talk about our days. After the boys left the table, Jeremy told me the reason he was late. He said his immediate boss had stopped him on his way out the door to tell him something. He was giving him "a heads up" that he was going to be laid off the following week. The company was struggling financially and the company needed to reduce their budget.  As many of you know, Jeremy worked for a small company and his position was the only one that had 2 people doing similar roles.  Because he was the second one hired, he was the first to go.

Of course, both of us were in shock.  Neither one of us saw it coming.  Jeremy was working on creating a mobile apps program, which the company needed to continue competing in the current market.  He was the ONLY one working on it! So they kind of shot themselves in the foot, but that's not our problem.

I've always kind of worn my heart and my emotions on my sleeve, so of course I begin to cry.  My brain begins working overtime on how we are going to survive. My little part-time income doesn't even pay the rent.  Jeremy was great through the only thing.  He continued to remind me that God had a plan for us

God is faithful though and He had a plan (like He ALWAYS does!).  Many people began praying for us and networking for us to help Jeremy find a job.  We are happy to say that just 15 short days later, God has a provided a great new job for him.  He is now working for a small company here in Charlotte called Epic Notion, where again he will be developing/designing websites.  This job comes with many benefits, like working from home, a raise, more vacation days, a new computer, and hopefully better medical insurance than we used to have.  Jeremy's new boss is a believer and really values family time, which is a huge blessing.

We know that in this economy many are struggling to find jobs and have been for a while. We are cannot thank God enough for blessing us and taking care of us.  Thank you all for praying and continuing to encourage and support us.
