Brad Out of Work...

So, this last weekend kind of threw our family for a BIG loop! Around noon on friday, brad was informed he was being laid off at that moment. He does get two weeks severence pay, but they refuse to pay him his vacation days he had stored up...still working on that issue.

Our famliy is experiencing feelings of sadness, anger, scared, anxiety, but then happiness sometimes too. Not that he's lost his job, but through more diligent prayer and fasting we have been able to feel some sort of comfort...off and on. We are stressed to the max, and I am terrible with stress, so i have to keep reminding myself not to take it out on brad or the kids. We are a family against this trial, not against eachother.

Brad has been applying, for what is out there, which isn't much. He did get the unemployment filed and that will pay our house payment until something comes up. I have my piano money to help with other bills and groceries etc. We have a sweet sister in law who dropped off oodles of items for the house, pantry, and fridge. Along with a CD set of our last general conference, which has helped lift my spirit so much. Yes times are hard, no i don't want to be going through this right now, but with a foundation and faith and enduring through this, we will have become better people in the end. We are not sure what we are suppose to learn from this but are willing and EAGER to find out. ;)

If anyone knows or hears of a job that might be good for brad, send the info our way. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support. We know these acts of kindess are answers to our prayers and keeps us going and building our faith in Jesus Christ and the being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Thanks to all! We will keep you posted.
