Uncertain Peace

I found out yesterday that my future is just a little more unsettled than I thought it was. My husband after 17 years of post-secondary education is beginning to apply for a real job, and it seemed that one of the earliest and somewhat ideal prospects was the brightest. However, that door has been closed and with baby #3 on the way I feel a pressing need to plan out the immediate future of our family.  This situation is certainly not unusual and in a time of recession and global difficulties might seem trite. The reason I chose this topic to begin my blog is that truthfully, I am a control freak who wants to see themselves as laid-back. Not knowing where my growing family is going to live in 6 short months kinda drives me nuts and yet I'm actually feeling mostly okay about it. Of course I'd love to get it sorted out as of yesterday and it would be nice to live near some family support and free babysitting, but if that's not what happens I think I'll be fine. 


Don't get me wrong, I'm intimidated by this new little person that's coming to shake up my family and officially outnumber the adults. I'm also worried that my husband with all his training and knowledge might not find a job; but my faith in God teaches me to trust and hope for all things to work together for my good whether I understand them or not. This is my journey and I begin this blog in the hope of documenting this process for myself and my children. It is my hope that the questions I ask and the conclusions I reach will resonate with many other seekers out there.
