For those of you who don't have a clue as to what Eric does in the work world, let me try to explain. He does a lot of consulting and business development for other companies. His main client is based out of Omaha and he has worked with them for 5 whole years. This client has been the main source of income for our family for those 5 years. Well, this morning, they called my man and told him they would no longer be needing his services. Wham, bam, just like that. They even had the audacity to say that our last paycheck would be at the end of November. Eric managed to plead "Christmas" to them and they agreed to one more check in December.
Let me vent a little. Is there no decency anymore? I mean, 5 whole years and they couldn't even come up with a two week notice or anything? I understand why they are letting him go. They have wanted us to move there forever and we have said no over and over again. So, we could both see this coming...but they could have given a little warning!
With Thanksgiving in 3 days, we are actually ecstatic that this has happened. We have been praying for at least two years that God would remove him from this environment and bring about something different. Well, part one of the prayer has been answered and now we are looking forward to part two: bringing about something different!!
If you don't mind saying a little prayer that God would establish the work of our hands.
In the meantime, we are really OK. Being income-less is scary, but we are choosing to trust in our Father who is our real Provider, anyway! I am sure as a woman, my emotions will range from trust and security to absolute panic. Pray that God gives me the grace to live out these upcoming days in a way that will bring Him glory.
Thanks, everyone.

You guys will be in our prayers. I'm glad you're sounding so upbeat and continually trust the Lord as your ultimate provider.
We'll be praying, too... we're soon to be facing the same circumstances with Alltel. We have no idea how much longer Cam has there, just that it won't be very long...
Becke--This is such a scary time. I will praying for your family. God placed this in your life and will work all things for good. Keep us posted.

We love you. We'll be praying.
Yes, we will be praying for you also! It is a scarey time in the world.....Mike builds homes. We must trust in Him. He wants only the best for us and He meets all our needs, time after time.
We will be praying for you, too. Just so you know, I was laid off from Acxiom about 10 years ago. Turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me. I hope that you guys can say the same thing in the very near future.
The praying has begun! Better times are ahead for you guys!
PS, Love the Christmas pics and the pics of your precious boys!
