A New Year Filled With Promise

I write this a week or so into this new year. The holidays were special - sweet times with extended family and a fun family night ushering in the new year. Then the slow wind up to getting back into the groove of things, except that groove has changed radically for us. Yesterday, after several weeks of vague hints, Sean was laid off from his job. There's so much I want to write but I'm still processing all of this. Emotions are there but so is our firm persuasion that God is with us and will order our steps through this. This is a new year filled with promise, for God's Word is true irregardless of any circumstances. To this we hold fast.
