The Future is Clear

Well, our future has now been laid out for us. Stephen got a job in Downtown LA. Yes, CA! We will be moving in the 2012 year. We are so excited that he finally got a job. I can't explain how difficult it is to live your life in limbo and not be sure if you'll be able to afford to pay your utilities, your grocery bills...unless you've lived it yourself. It really taught us a lesson in generosity, love, hope, and the fragility of your impending future. You just never know what is going to happen to you from day to day. As the saying goes..."Man plans, God laughs!" Because of our situation, I have to say, we realized that we have so very many people who care about us and our well being. We were well taken care of financially and some wonderful saints in our Parish made sure that our Christmas was taken care of. We will never forget the generosity of these wonderful people. Another lesson we have learned was that we can live without things we didn't think we could before, and that we can use our future earnings to support a family in need as has been done for us. Once we get back on our feet, that is exactly what we are going to do. We are grateful for everyone who helped us and we are humbled by the lesson we've learned through this whole ordeal. So, if there is anything you can learn from my post today...take care of those in need. Be a good Samaritan and your life will be blessed in more ways than you can ever imagine.
