It's All Wrong...but, It's Alright!

Ron used to work with a guy by the name of John Anderson...really great guy with a couple adult kids and some grandkids. I remember when Camdyn was just about 2 and into everything Ron would tell John about Cam's misadventures. John taught Ron the phrase..."It's all wrong but it's alright." As of late I have been reminded of this phrase as the boys and I adjust to Daddy being home while he is between jobs. The little ones are THRILLED to say the least to have so much of Daddy but they have a way of getting into his stuff and causing chaos. It's all wrong, but it's alright.

Ron's job search isn't easy. The economy certainly isn't what it was when we left Washington last year. Ron said the other day he had a feeling around April of last year that maybe Jacobs wasn't the company for him. He was feeling discouraged and voiced regrets of not just cashing in his chips then and coming back to Washington. THANK GOD for the Holy Spirit. It was that still, small voice that reminded me to remind him that we had already made the decision to follow God's direction and move the Oklahoma BEFORE God provided the job at Jacobs. We chose to be obedient and provision was made. Now that job is gone. The office Ron worked at in Washington is gone now too. A season of unemployment was on the horizon of whichever path we took - leave and obey God or stay in Washington and be disobedient. Is it hard to be without the income? Yes. Is it hard to watch my husband struggle with doubts? Yes. Do I know that we are suppose to be here and that our obedience will be counted as righteousness? Yes. See, It's all wrong, BUT It's alright - God has it covered.
