Small Blessings and Learning Humility

Well, today will be a short update but a most worthwhile read if your in the mood for a triumphant story. Since my last update, we were attacked by the monster of all monsters for newlyweds. This monster is known as unemployment. The dreadful thing we've been waiting for months to happen finally did and my poor husband was laid off. Good health benefits:GONE! The money we have for bills:GONE! It was by the Lords grace that we got the magic of Tax Return and have enough money to make it through to May. Today also held a wonderful blessing for me. The Lord has heard our prayers for more employment and I was presented a job at a bank as a teller. This was such a blessing, but I know that the Lord is trying to help us and make us better. There's a part in my patriarchal blessing that talks about learning to be frugal...this must be the time to learn this. There will be adjustments, and there will be hard times, but I'm confident that we have been faithful in keeping our covenants and paying our tithing. I'm sure that whatever comes, we will walk with our heads high and rely on the Lord to take care of us, as he has done so already. We had a parent bring us food and fill our fridge and cupboards, and another set of parents offer their washer and dryer to us. So many wonderful blessings and I know there are many more to come.
