Ah, tough times. But God is good.

A couple of years ago, my husband shared with me that he had accumulated credit card debt that I was not aware of. It created some marital strain, but we have worked together and grown together and have a better marriage now than ever. We have been paying down the debt faithfully. However, on Friday we learned that my husband's employer was laying off 50% of the workers. My husband was one of them. Please pray that we could find work, but more importantly, that we would continue to trust in Jesus. thanks - Jane.

That's really too bad about the lay off, I can sympathize! I'm sure that God has a *good* plan and you'll see it by and by! We'll pray for God's leading for your family.

Hi Jane,

It's nice to "meet" you. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's layoff. I know that God is in control and He uses these times to strenghten our Faith. I will definatly be praying for you in this difficult time.

As for the blog layout. There are hundreds of free domain backgrounds to use for inpiration. I found the background on a free scrapbooking site and created elements around it in Paint Shop. Then I uploaded it to HTML and voila, a new blog template. It was pretty easy and there's lots available on the web for help.

God Bless

Lauren
