That means there are probably jobs that will be cut...soon.
We have no reason to think that it would be Mr. Dad, but we really have no reason to believe that it wouldn't be either.
Engineering firms are taking big hits like every other business sector. If the companies do not have the money to build or add on, or cities for new projects...that means that the engineering firms lose business too.
I am putting this out publicly....I am going to try not to worry about this. I am a worrier by nature. I think I got if from my Great Granny Lula. She may have been worry royalty!!
I do not want any one to lose their jobs...but selfishly , I do not want it to be Dwight either! We have 4 kids...3 of the 4 with some "serious" issues that if we lose our insurance...would very likely never get coverage again...and I can not even begin to imagine having to pay COBRA while unemployed to try to keep them insurable (is that even a word??)
So I put it in God's hands. I will wait. I will wait.
We will not go hungry. Of that I am sure. However, the house situation would be very questionable. But I know that no matter what, that God has a plan and he is in control. It is not my job to worry over this..but to be joyful and patient no matter what the outcome.
So..again, I will wait.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let you gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12

Hi Dallas. We are right there with you and Dwight. But it does us no good to worry. I keep telling myself that if our jobs continue it is a blessing, if they end there is a better plan. You are in my thoughts and we will all pull through this tough time. Our men (this being our boys mainly - you 4, me 2) need us to be the strong pillars that we are. Love you girl...Cass
Oh, Dallas, I will be praying for you. This has been our life since moving to the East Coast 3 years ago. In fact, Brenden started his 3rd job in a year on Monday. The first time the company had lay offs, I freaked out. I am afraid that I was not a very supportive wife. However, it has gotten easier, and what I have learned is: GOD IS FAITHFUL!! He has never let us fall, He has held us in the palm of his hand and made us stronger and closer through all these trials. Hang in there, girl! What a great opportunity for you and Dwight to grow closer and stronger. I'll be praying!
You'll be in my prayers.
