Wow, has it seriously been over a month since I posted? So much has gone on, but I want to start with the greatest need from all of you - prayer.
Tuesday morning, after working from 10 pm till 5 am to get a job done at work, my awesome hubby was informed he was being laid off. He has been at the company for 3 years. We worked together. As you can imagine this has hit us hard. 6 kids, two adults, one income? What GOD? However, God is GOOD - ALL THE TIME and I know this is the start of some amazing blessings. We don't know yet what those are, but they are there. Please just pray for protection in our family and marriage and that my hubby keeps up a good outlook. There are so many bonuses to him having a few months off, so this is a good thing (once we figure out our finances). We have decided mac n cheese and top ramen were good in college, they should be ok for now. I feel bad for him, because his bday is Monday. He has had a lot of bad things happen on his birthday in the past so he was a little sad to see this happen. I am so proud of how he has handled this all. I came home to dinner, laundry folded, my messy desk clean and his amazing smile. Also please pray for me as I have to go to work and most likely be the brunt of gossip and "oh poor her" looks. It is hard.
So, what else is going on? Malcom is coming in about a month for a month (praise GOD). Kevin and Mikaya (Kev's girlfriend) were baptized at the end of August (Praise Jesus). We had an amazing time at camp. School has started and the boys are loving it. Kevin is back in school - finally. He stayed at home with the boys all summer and definitely needed a break from the house! Nick is working hard and saving people from work! I am so incredibly proud of his faith and love for the Lord. I got to spend an amazing weekend with 200 other women from our church on a retreat. OH, we finally readopted the 4 littles ones.
Well, I have to go walking with a friend. Please just pray for us. I will add pictures soon! Here is one from the readoption.

Sandra, lifting you all in prayer. God does have great things in store for George and your family. What a great husband you have! Congrats on the readoptions! - Chris
I am so sorry to hear he lost his job. Can he file for unemployment? I just went through several months of unemployment, and that helped a little, but God really helped me and blessed me so much. I do have a new job that starts Monday, but I just have to give Praise, Honor, and Glory to Jesus for His many blessings, and I pray He will Bless your family, too!
