Big Changes

There are some major changes taking place in our family right now. For starters Caidy is all ready for surgery and we should be hearing from the Plastic Surgeon in the next couple weeks as to when the surgery will be. We are both feeling excited and apprehensive at the same time. We want Caidy to look 'normal' but at the same time we have grown to love her for the way she is and don't really want her to change. I know it is going to be a big difference once her lip is repaired and we are praying and would love you to as well, that things so smoothly and quickly.
The other news that we have is a little harder to talk about. As you all know James has been working construction for the past 9 months and although he wasn't too fond of the job, it did pay the bills and he had an amazing boss who was great with all the appts and hours James had to work. We have been praying about when it would be time to move on, he has been applying at numerous jobs and nothing seemed to be panning out. He knew that God was telling him that he wouldn't move on to a new job until this construction one was finished and James had peace with that, and felt he would move on once they were done working at the Elementary School they were at. When that date came and went and he was still doing construction he started to question God but knew he had to trust that what he heard God say was true, so James stayed on and we continued to apply at jobs. This week on Tuesday the the unthinkable happened, James' job finished. LITERALLY! He was laid off, there are just no more sites right now and his boss had to let people go, James being one. WOW this was not what we were expecting at all, but God did say finished and James is now completely finished his construction job. We are trusting that God has a plan for us, we have no idea what that plan is, but there are 2 job possibilities right now and we are praying one of them works out to be the one God was preparing James for.
In the meantime since there are still bills to be paid and we do have 3 kids I have gone back to work. I will be going back to waitressing at a fine Italian Restaurant here is Maple Ridge, unfortunately it is only part time, but realistically I don't think it is even feasible for me to go back for anything more than that while I am still pumping for Caidy and James does have to be actively looking for work. Having read all this we would really appreciate your prayers right now. This is something that is humbling to talk about, it is always hard to talk about your weaknesses.
We know that we are going through everything right now for a reason and although it is really hard to stand on truth and trust we know that it is what we are supposed to be doing. God does have a plan for our little family and there is a reason we are here in BC. We also know that we have an amazing network of friends and family who are willing to pray for us and we thank you all so much for it!!
