plan your work and work your plan..

 

until you have a kid that opens your eyes that is!

My dh’s finished his job searching and completed his interviews this week.

So now we wait but at the same time his current j.o.b. of 15 yrs ends next Friday…so while waiting we started to formulate a plan and  focus on what we may have to do..it’s a control thing.

Aside from my concerns, I do know that God has great plans for him that will have a purpose and give us hope for a future, as long as I give Him free will.

But here’s the deal..I don’t want change in venue or genre of where and how we live..so I’m planning one thing while behind the scenes I may be unawares of other plans in the makings. Plans I may not like and want to work within.

And here’s what brought it home for me.

One morning while heading to school my oldest 12yrs asked me.. “mom how did dad’s interview go?”  I said “ it went well..just waiting to hear back..”  he says “oh so do you think he will get it?” and I said “ I don’t know but either job he gets will require him to stay away during the weeknights (my plans to stay in my home keep my kids in their school and continue my life) instead of commuting back and forth everyday.” 

(Silence..)

Then he totally took me by surprise when he says  this “NO mom..we are a family and wherever dad goes we need to be with him..that’s what families do mom.”

Now I sit in silence.

Wondering, waiting..what’s next?

And this waiting thing is like a lot like fishing..I’m really NOT good at it.
