I told Diane this morning that we have a house of peace. There is no strife; there is nothing unspoken that needs to be spoken, no deep-seated resentment or disagreement. There is quiet. There is no television, and there can be quiet in the kitchen in the morning, and quiet in the living room in the evenings. We have been blessed with a boy who enjoys peaceful play as much as he enjoys running laps around the couch. He is endowed with a remarkable amount of patience, self-regulation and such a wide range of experiences he enjoys for his age.<\/p>\n

Surrounding our peaceful house, though, is a bit of upheaval. I was laid off from my job in Kernersville the first week of the month. It was completely sudden, even for my boss (who seemed even less of a fan of the event than I was, if that were possible), and “not performance or personality related” at all, but simply a fault of the company’s ailing fortunes. Almost everyone involved felt it a nearsighted decision, and this was partly confirmed two days later when they “hired me back” as a contract employee to finish up projects I had been responsible for when I left. Today is my last day back. They gave me a decent severance package but I have still been looking for jobs furiously. After enduring a period in which I felt like I was tossing resumes and cover letters and phone calls into a black hole, I secured an interview at what seems like a good company in downtown Winston-Salem. It’s slated for tomorrow morning and it is a big relief to actually have some initiative from the “other side.” My first choice is really dragging their feet, but the LORD will provide opportunities and open doors and guide me exactly where I need to be, and what’s more, will provide for and sustain our little family. He has answered so many prayers already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
