Why do we have to go through the valley? I mean, can't we go over it? Around it? Walk right up to the edge and say, "Whew! Yeah, that's pretty bad. Thanks for sparing me from that, God! You're so good to me!!"
We're roughly 10 days in to Will's unemployment. And we're starting to get nervous. When we found out that he was going to lose his job, it was actually exciting. We saw it as an opportunity for him to try something new, and to finally find what it is that he is passionate about. We felt that God had given him a great opportunity.
Something has changed.
I can't point to the exact moment that it happened, but somewhere in the past 10 days, reality has hit. We have bills. And a son. A son who eats ridiculously expensive formula. And goes to the doctor. Which requires insurance. And it all costs money. And this economy isn't the greatest. And the people he's had 2 interviews with still haven't called back.
So why hasn't God just laid Will's next job in his lap already? I mean, why put us through this?
Because He loves us, and wants to teach us. And stretch us.
Rats.
