The Great Non-Depression

I got laid off today. I suppose I should have been expecting it, however I definitely wasn't expecting it so soon. So I went through the normal phases of disbelief-shock-tears-despair-dreading telling my husband-acclimation-its gonna be OK. So now we are relying on the Lawn Mowing business of my husbands which is doing marginally well considering the economy and unemployment as soon as I sign up. (what a pain by the way) I am however thankful that I was let go now when they were able to pay me rather than when the company shuts down and I wouldn't get paid.

I am a bit worried about bills. But this specific scripture keeps popping up in my mind:

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you —you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today (Matthew 6:24-34). What comfort!!!

Our Heavenly Father knows our predicaments and apparently didnt want me to be in the Real Estate Field anymore. I shall not worry because my Shepherd accounts for all of His sheep and tends to all of His flock, never leaving one behind. I am proud to be a sheep.

I've already applied for a bunch of positions, still more I will tackle tomorrow. We're still looking for Zacs job too. We may be having to relocate to Salt Lake, because apparently the church liked my skills and resume they are reviewing me for positions there.. and not just $8 an hour positions. Im talking I've-never-made-so-much-money-in-my-life-positions.

It would be an ideal thing financially. But we are mobile and if God wants us in SLC, then we will go. (crossing my fingers?) I'm so proud to be a sheep.
