Hard Times

I’m so sorry for the lack of updates lately. We’ve been having some hard times lately and I haven’t wanted to sound like a Debbie-Downer. Thankfully Levi was able to find a job a couple months ago, but then this month I was laid off.

For those of you that haven’t been laid off, it makes you feel like a loser. Even though I know it is not my fault and that there’s nothing I could have done differently. Applying for jobs because you have to, and not necessarily ones you want, is also difficult. I would love to stay at home but I just don’t think we can afford it right now.

I know that I have so much to be thankful for; a sweet little family, our good health, a warm home, food. I’m just ready to feel stable again; something we haven’t felt since before Levi was laid off.

I just have to keep reminding myself that there is a bigger picture that I’m not seeing and I have to trust in Heavenly Father that all will be ok. It’s such a hard thing to do though.

Thank you for listening; I feel better just typing it out. Hopefully I’ll be back to my normal, cheery self in a couple days.
