Thanks Deb. You’re right, that uncertainty is all over, and we all face it in one way or another. My prayers are with your family as well.

Lyla,

A lot of people are facing a lot of uncertainty right now.

My family is no exception.

Thank you for these amazing words that direct us to the One who will never leave us or forsake us.

That’s what He said.

And He always speaks the truth.

I’m certain.

Sweet dreams.

Thanks Dani. Guess what? We ALL have an amazing lot to learn and process. And we all rely too much on us. Always learning, we are.

Your blogs, Aunt Lyla, are so powerful, it amazes me what I still have to learn and to process, and how much I rely on myself, not our Savior.
Thanks.

Dad, more insurance companies here than in most tiny SD towns, but you’re right, they’re becoming pretty well extinct with this last move. God’s been good so far…don’t imagine that’ll be changing anytime soon. Just waiting to see what He’s got cooked up this time. And thanks to you and mom and grandpa, flexibility is already in my genes.

It is so hard to trust Him with our “what if’s” and our uncertainties. Change is such a hard pill to swallow for me, and I can see where fears may slip in and try to steal the joy in each moment. I pray that this transition will be an easy and enlightening one for you and your family. In Him, all things work out for our own good, its just really hard when we are in the midst of uncertainty.

Will be praying for you (and Jennifer’s family) as you all pass through this time of uncertaintly.

Lyla:

Having been through multiple job changes during my lifetime, There always seems to be another one to take on when the previous one ends. I have never been out of work for extended period. In many cases, the jobs came to me, I didn’t even have to go looking.

Grandpa and I were talking about this recently. He said that after his first job in Edwardsville, he moved to Chicago. Once he found his first job, he was never out of work for than a couple of weeks. And he was a working guy through the depression of the 30′s. in his walk down memory lane, he remembers being laid off at a structural steel company. On his way to the streetcar stop, he passed another structural steel shop. He stopped in and was hired.

There aren’t many insurance companies to walk past in your little South Dakota city, Your confidence in the providence of God is an inspiration and a reminder that God is in control and he will provide.

Jennifer, my thanks to folks like you and Scott whose trust-by-design lifestyle encourages and reminds me of that Certainty that is so worthy of my trust.

I like that place. The palm of His hands.
