That is SO sad!<br /><br />But Heavenly Father ALWAYS has a plan for us...Even though we might not know what it is right now. I'm sure something wonderful will come of all this. You're so positive about wanting to have a career (I'm sure Grant WISHES that I wanted to work and actually use my degree right now....Haha!). If nothing else comes from it, I'm sure you will be so glad you had these few months getting to be with Lucy all day, every day. <br /><br />Good luck with the job hunt!!Alyssa Griffethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018855472373802727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168853758953508740.post-46002209470588693682009-06-19T14:52:36.473-07:002009-06-19T14:52:36.473-07:00Hey Sarah, We love you guys and are praying for yo...Hey Sarah, We love you guys and are praying for you. WE hope that everything with work will turn out. I love what your friend said about material things not being the source of our happiness. It's so true. The gospel also gives us such great perspective on what truly brings us happiness. Lucy is blessed to have such loving parents. We're excited to see you guys so soon.Crystal and Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428901709088731531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168853758953508740.post-13679399692977549372009-06-16T23:14:08.593-07:002009-06-16T23:14:08.593-07:00Hang in there girl!

My heart is with you during this time of figuring out what to do and where to go next. Good luck with all your interviews and goodness gracious your time with Lucy! I know that I would be stressed about not having a job instead of enjoying my kiddos...so try to wait it out and hope for the best...and heck, lets do something fun...girl night???Tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564495589278227267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168853758953508740.post-16905048974254820162009-06-15T07:48:12.709-07:002009-06-15T07:48:12.709-07:00Sarah...Keep your head up girl!

I really don't have any advice that hasn't already been given but I know you, I know that you are STRONG, I know that you have made it through many tough situations before this, and I know you'll make it through this one. This is the time when you need to rely completely on your faith. Keep that big beautiful smile on your face! I love you!STEPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212649459365956524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168853758953508740.post-13228261307469131882009-06-13T09:14:32.024-07:002009-06-13T09:14:32.024-07:00I read something the other day when I was having a...I read something the other day when I was having a pity party.... put all your problems in a bowl along with everyone else's and you will surely take your problems right back out over many others. It kinda helped me to put things into perspective.<br /><br />Life is full of ups and downs. Hopefully this down part for you is brief and you can come out of it a better person. I know you are grieving your job and worrying about money, and that is hard. Everytime you have those thoughts try to think of something that is a blessing in this.... like the fact that you get to see every single smile your daughter has during the day right now.<br /><br />Things WILL get better, it's just a matter of time. In the meantime all you can do is continue searching for a job, and try to take joy in all of the little things in your day. <br /><br />Remember that your daughter won't remember how much stuff she had as a child, but she will remember the love that her parents constantly surrounded her with... and that is something that you provide her with every day :)<br /><br />I'll pray you guys can manage financially and that the worry doesn't overtake you!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775799695976189347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168853758953508740.post-51649051435346662142009-06-12T22:17:00.938-07:002009-06-12T22:17:00.938-07:00Sarah, Your post made me so sad.

I now look into the beautiful eyes of His plan every day and realize He knew what He was doing and I can't imagine life any other way. Be prayful and patient. We'll pray that He moves you along your path quickly to something great.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258302080010125392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168853758953508740.post-49679020323359339922009-06-12T16:32:03.836-07:002009-06-12T16:32:03.836-07:00You and Jenafer have been in my thoughts lately.

You have Troy and Lucy and that's all you need. I often remind myself of a quote from Randy Pausch of the Last Lecture ~ We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. You have a choice and I know you're not one to just sit back. You even said so yourself. Somehow you will find your way. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there!

Even though nothing makes sense and someone else made this huge decision for you, there is a plan and for whatever reason- you are right where God wants you to be. Stay in the moment and make a list of all the things that drove you crazy about teaching. Everytime you go to cry, read that list. I am praying for all of you and I just know everything is going to be OK!Kevin and Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600221395627768663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168853758953508740.post-3092284827715551202009-06-11T17:00:16.371-07:002009-06-11T17:00:16.371-07:00My Dear Sarah...

Millions of people don't have much materially and are much more happy than those that have lots or even enough to live on. You guys are going to be fine no matter what. And Lucy, will be more than fine because she has such a supportive family. One day, we'll all look at the experience this year and laugh (especially you and me). We'll say, "See, if that didn't happen then I would have never..." Love ya girl! It's gonna be okay! =) JenThe Veneracion Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955757785364118162noreply@blogger.com
