Unemployed

Paul called me Wednesday afternoon telling me he was coming home early because he got laid off.  We expected something to happen for about a half a week or so because his employer had an all-employee meeting (which Paul wasn't invited to because he was a contractor) saying that they were going to do some "corporate restructuring" and they expected to either hire on or let go of all contractors.  We thought Paul had a good chance of getting hired because his team only had four people including his manager, two of them being contractors, and they were in the middle of a project that's supposed to roll out this year.  Well, Paul and the other contractor on his team were let go.  It's not fun being suddenly unemployed, but Paul is not too upset because he wasn't in love with this job anyway.  

Our plan is to stay in Pittsburgh through the end of July since that's when our lease ends.  Then we'll put all our stuff in storage in Pittsburgh and head west to stay with Paul's parents while he looks for a job.  We expect Paul to find a job faster than last time because the job market seems to be better than 6 months ago and Paul now has some job experience.

I have complete trust that God knows what things we have need of and that He will provide them to us at the right times.  I am grateful for all the blessings we have and for all the blessings to come.
