December 2008, I lost my job right after Christmas and then found out I was pregnant... Losing my job was a little bittersweet though. It was a shock to the system and I had a whirlwind of emotions but had I not lost my job I probably wouldn't have picked my photography back up full time.
I had a rough pregnancy, my husband ended up out of work with a hurt back and a denied workers comp claim, our heating and air went out over this hot Georgia summer and there were several times we were faced with utilities off and phone calls from our landlord about us having to move out. God is good though. Our children never went hungry, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, God blessed us through our friends and anonymously with payments being made for my family to have a home and utilities still on. There were several times that we thought we were "all miracled out" and God just stepped in and blew us away.
As humans we get so frustrated with our circumstances and we try to do it all in our selves and take care of the situations that come up. The truth of the matter is, not until we fully rely on God will things get better. Instead of drifting apart my family was able to, only by the grace of God, pull together and stay strong during our storm, one right after the next. And He has brought us through completely to the other side of the storm.
Right now things are loooking brighter for my family then they ever really have - and it's all a testiment to God's great love and faithfulness He has for His children. While we aren't "sittin' pretty" by the world's standards we are "sittin' pretty" because of what He has brought us through, because of our Faith, His blessings and the hope that we have in Christ Jesus our Savior.
