Update #1

Just found out that everyone in our office is getting a temporary pay cut...20%....not even sure how much that amounts to a month for me yet...but at least I didn't lose my job! :) And, I totally think it's the Lord's perfect timing that I've gotten a roommate who's moving in right now (her rent will make up approx 1/2 of what I'm losing at DW) and that I'm going away for the weekend to do some planning for this freelance stuff. TOTALLY the Lord.

I knew something was up...there's been all sorts of scurrying this week....and the unknown was so taxing. So, just knowing what the "something" is is actually quite relieving. And, strangely, I'm not really freaked out by this....it's obviously not pleasant but I feel strangely at peace. With a 20% cut, that also means a 20% reduction in my hours....so, 8 fewer hours a week.

And, DW is willing to be totally flexible to work with me as far as how I take the time off - one full day a week or two afternoons a week or whatever I need to work out a potential part-time job or doing freelance stuff or whatever.

So, please pray with me for this weekend that I really would emerge with a plan mapped out on how to not only sustain my finances but actually get out of debt and be able to move forward with the freelance stuff as well as how to reach out to my community and do all the compassion stuff that's been building in my heart.
