We've been here before. Job security not as secure as we human beings prefer. The first change after months of wondering was a pay cut. A brief reprieve of "symptoms" of insecurity allowed Charlie and his co-workers to put the question on the back burner. Then things got progressively more and more suspicious. This is a common occurrence these days for many families. Well, Charlie just called a few minutes ago. The small family-owned business he's been employed with for over 20 years has been bought by a big fish in the pond. At least we know more than we have. The insecurity remains despite the reassurances spoken. We've talked about worst case scenarios for quite awhile now. We're steady and stable in the most important regard which is . . . we know God will see us through. Not that He is some kind of sugar daddy. But that we will not be undone by this circumstance any more than we have by others. There's a reason God recommends that married couples share the same faith in Him. I can't imagine what the past several months would have been like if one of us trusted something other than God, or more than God. This is no small thing. This is a blessing deserving awesome worship.
