well, it seems that things have changed drastically in the last few weeks. not too long ago travis and i were actively looking for a house here in minneapolis and now we are just hoping we will be able to stay here. the uncertainty of travis' job right now makes me feel very unsettled. unfortunately, it seems to effect my entire world and my perspective on everything. i'm just ready to feel settled somewhere (and i would like for it to be minneapolis!). i have had to be content with everything up in the air for too long and i just don't want to deal with it anymore. but maybe that is just life, maybe things will always be up in the air. maybe i need to stop trying to plan everything and enjoy where i am at, no matter what comes next. it seems to be the lesson i'm learning in life over and over again. it just doesn't seem to stick.
there is a quote by richard foster that says,
"God wants us to be present where we are. he invites us to see and to hear what is around us and, through it all, to discern the footprints of the holy."

Tavis & Kobie-
I read the article in the paper yesterday and thought about you. With my job situation recently, I can definitely relate to the issue of uncertainty and how that affects your entire life.
I can't imagine how people without a framework of faith in God deal with situations like this. Life must really seem hopeless and futile...
You will be in my prayers.
Victor
Kobie & Travis-
I read about Mesaba's bankrupcy filing today and the pending layoffs. Our Bible study at Solomon's Porch lifted you up in prayer tonight. You are not in this alone...
Victor
thanks, we appreciate it!
