well since Rob and i are so young, we are also freshly out of college. having both graduated from Hope College we are well off on the road to becoming young professionals but the task of finding work is still not easy. currently i am working at Papa Vino's Italian Kitchen and while i have to be grateful that i am working at all, i have to admit that it is not my first choice of employment. Rob is undertaking the task of job-hunting right now; he worked as a ref for a while during the soccer season and he has odd techie jobs that he does now and then. our employment future is currently a mystery to us and that makes me very anxious... but Rob keeps his cool and encourages me to pray and trust the Lord that no matter what, we will be taken care of. after all, the Lord cares about us and is faithful to us in times of need. it is Rob's reaction to problems like this that excites my heart for our life together in the future. his level of care for me and encouragement to me when i need it most is outstanding and i couldn't have asked for a better man in my life. the Lord has been good to me by providing me with such an outstanding future husband.
as for the actual logistics of life beyond September 16... we don't know much right now. we will be married which is an AMAZING thought, (only 54 more days!) but the working, the living, the where and the how are all up in the air and being left only in the hands of God. we have been given this opportunity to trust the Lord especially in a time when neither of us know what is going to happen next and i am starting to see that as a blessing. there could be no better way to start our marriage that with total confidence that we can do nothing on our own. as strange as that sounds, we will always have to know that there is a need for Christ in our relationship at the center of everything we decide and act upon, so why not start off that way!
when we learn something about our life in the future i will let you all know (whoever you are) but for now pray for us, that we may lean on the Lord alone for His guidance and provision.
