So now we know why the employer letter was so hard to get... the boss had no intention of getting it! They let Jonathan go yesterday. Said he "didn't fit in" (which is probably true ~ Jonathan really is too nice for the negative environment). So he has no job, no employer, and therefore, no "employer letter" which means everything "adoption" is on hold indefinately. We've been dealing with some of the emotions... and there are many. I think a risk now is that we might be tempted to take any job (with a half decent wage) that comes along just to get going again, and then who knows how long this cycle will continue? It might help if Jonathan knew what he wanted to do for a living. (That might be the hardest part for me...) I think his heart is still on the farm, but after leaving twice, i'm not sure they'll want him back... and with the exception of the wage increase he got when he left, the rest of the issues are still there. (weekend work, too many hours ~ 40hr. week doesn't pay enough, no benefits, no compensation, stuff like that). And it seems he still would like to go out on his own ~ welding ~ so how content would he be farming full-time again?
We are wondering what God is planning through all of this. At this point, I have NO idea where God is leading us as far as a job.
