And so our roller-coaster of a life continues. Just when life was going so swimmingly! Yesterday Paul found out he is to be made redundant - in 30 days! I feel like someone has just stolen my life. I know that sounds dramatic - and it is. We shall be fine - Paul has made a spread sheet - and all will be well. But I am allowing myself one day to feel sorry for myself and my lovely life. I have been having such a lovely time. As anyone who knows us well will know that we tackle most things with humour so we have been laughing a lot - in amidst the tears. We are going to be eating lentils and coley ( the fish we give to the cat). Sorry to anyone who does  eat lentils and coley! And Paul is going to be working in a variety of jobs..... some of which he is inventing.
On a serious note it is another opportunity to learn to trust. Our God is in control - He knows the future - and He goes ahead of us to prepare the way. Just enough light for this step I'm on. As ever I want a plan and for a while I am not going to be able to see the plan and that makes the ride a bit more scary. But as I place my hand into his I know He guides us, protects us and knows what's best. The most important thing is - He has a plan. And in time we will see that plan. On Saturday the speaker reminded us that our lives are like an embroidery - we just see the little bit that we are working on and we see it from the back with all the tangled threads and the knots but God sees it from the front as a finished piece - so very beautiful. I will trust that this knotty, tangled bit will eventually look very beautiful from the front.
