A Different Career Path...

It's been over 9 years since my Layne has been in the Optical industry, however a lot of you don't realize this is what he was in when we were dating and the first 5 years of our Marriage. 

He Really enjoys it, he loves helping people and working in this type of environment. The only reason he ever left is was that it didn't PAY enough when we lived in Florida to make it sustainable for our Family to survive or let alone LIVE Life enjoyably. 

After we found out the job that we Thought was going to be Wonderful for our family that he got in April, didn't Pan out and he found himself searching for something else on June 1st our World kinda fell apart. 

I got super ill with some kinda of Face virus, infection, bacteria, and then my son had to go away (i will be making a full post with details about this later) for 12 days, Talk about Stressful, Depressing time. ( http://sherinstark.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-week-i-crawled-through-hell.html )

To my amazement though, my hubby kept making the job search a Priority among all the rest of life he was having to do. He totally picked up the slack when I was literally in TOO much Pain to do anything other than lie in bed. I was finding myself depressed, anxious, and feeling Totally Defeated. 

I would say as Much as I Hated that 2 weeks of my life, it taught me a lot, and I have so much more gratitude for my life Now. 

~I feel healthy (and can really appreciate that after being hit so hard from so many angles) 

*I feel loved (as my husband really served and loved me through it all) 

~I feel Stronger than before (totally impressed that I was able to come out of all that NOT Bitter or Angry, but rather Grateful for the experience the Lord saw fit to put me through.)

*I feel Blessed to be a Mommy (so much more appreciative of my Children after these experiences.)

~I feel grateful to be a Christian/Disciple of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

*I have build/strengthened Friendships through this time and bonded with people I wouldn't have otherwise.

I KNOW God guides me (if I allow it) and blesses us with ALL that we Need and often times even just things we want, when we ask. 

THANK YOU to the many hundreds of you who sent prayers up for me and my family we Felt them and are forever grateful you took a few minutes to stop your busy lives and offer them to our Lord. 

So back to the new Career, Layne will be Starting work Tomorrow Morning at Artisan Optics and we are all eager for him to begin Enjoying his job again and to be able to Provide for our Family :)

Good Luck Tomorrow Babe!!!
