I followed you to your blog from At The We...Hello,<br /><br />I followed you to your blog from At The Well...and I wanted to say that over many years of my husband being self-employed, unemployed and in the ministry, as well as having eight children, we can say with conviction that the Lord teaches us sooo much through job loss! It can be humbling to learn to wait on Him for provision but it is glorious.<br /><br />For the past several years my husband has worked away from home all week making a great income but this past month he was home waiting and searching for a job and we have LOVED having him home. I would rather live on far less and have him home to influence and lead the children. What a blessing.<br /><br />Yes, God pulls us away from the 9-5 grind with the loss of employment and it is worth it!<br /><br />Jill F.

However, when I was knocked down with severe morning sickness at the begining of this, my first pregnancy, we had to question the model again, with me unable to even stand while my husband worked 5-3 and studied in night classes twice a week to get a qualification to give him a 'decent job'. It was truly horrible and forced us to reconsider many aspects of our lives, including one sided friendships and the way we run our home. <br /><br />While we don't expect to go through this again, I have accepted that I need medication and that losing 15% of my body weight by 16 weeks and continuing to lose it past that is probably going to be more dangerous to me and baby than rare possible side effects, it still showed us a lot about ourselves. <br /><br />I don't know what God is going to lead us into, there's a few openings into possible opportunities around us, and my father ran his own businesses for years, but whatever it is I don't think it will be the traditional job or lifestyle, at least not for this season of our lives.abba12https://www.blogger.com/profile/06024848413880718215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86937158829529311.post-75795809970621370612010-10-06T06:23:01.288-05:002010-10-06T06:23:01.288-05:00Hi, I've been following along to your blog for...Hi, I've been following along to your blog for awhile now (call me a lurker) but now I need to post... <br /><br />We are in a similar circumstance.. DH is currently unemployed. Sometimes the faith is high others it is high in someone else's heart. <br /><br />But yeah your right... 8-5 is not for us. <br /><br />The children and I have been mostly enjoying the Papa home days visits to the beach and fishing and camping and fun family things. Things we will miss when he eventually finds out where the Lord wants him to be... <br /><br />Remain Blessed xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
