It seems as though we have been in limbo for ages. For years I thought our path in life was set and there would not be many big changes. This past year has proven me wrong. My husband left a job of 13 years for what we felt was a better opportunity, only to be laid off when work slowed after 3 months! Since then we have been talking to several companies and hoped that he had finally found the perfect position for his happiness and future. Now with the turmoil in Egypt and no word on the position I am having some doubts and really don't know what to think. He is happier now that he has left old company but has mentioned maybe going back and this scares me. I don't want my husband to be unhappy and am afraid that he would be there. BUT this being unemployed is scary as well. I am telling him to hold off a little longer to see if the informal offer that was made a week ago comes though. yes it has only been a week but it feels like a year! Only God knows what is ahead for our future and I have to learn to have more faith. I was telling my mom that I have faith in what God CAN do but wonder what he WILL do. That has always been a quandary in my head that I have struggled with. Is it a lack of faith or patience that I have? God does what is best for us but sometimes it takes us a long time to see how the path got us to the right place. I have to remember the prayer:
Lord help me accept the things I can not change
Change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.
