Blessing in Disguise?

Well, our prayers have finally been answered! Unfortunately, not the way we had hoped!

Virgil was laid off today and surprisingly, he's in a much better mood tonight than he has been in a long time! As he put it, he's not dreading Monday for once! His work situation was a miserable experience for him and he'd been looking for a new job since before I was laid off in February last year!

Yes, things are going to get rough for a little while, especially with the economy the way it is... but really, something good is going to come out of this! God will prevail! The hardest part is that he only got a 2 wk severance and we had pretty much used up our savings when I was laid off last year and was out of work for 7 months! So we really don't have that much to fall back on.

Starting Monday, Virgil will be a stay at home Dad to save money on daycare/preschool expenses until he is able to start working again! Delaney will still go to preschool on a part-time basis, like she did when I was out last summer. I know he's really going to enjoy that time since he had said his time home while on Paid Family Leave was so much better than going to work in the job he couldn't stand! He's also going to have much more focused time to find a new job.

hmmm... speaking of... I wonder if he could finish off his PFL since Cadence isn't a year old yet? It would pay better than unemployment! Either way, I know we'll be ok. God has always taken care of us! However, all your prayers would be greatly appreciated!

Please pray that the right position come quickly and that it's close to home and pays him what he's really worth!
