I find myself in a state of non-belief. Washington Mutual has been around forever! Yet last night it was announced that it had failed and seized by the government only to be sold to JPMorgan/Chase. This is the biggest bank failure in US history! Our family doesn't know much more than that. We are in a bit of limbo not knowing what to think or expect. Phillip worked for WAMU for 10 years then as most of you know came off staff for a year. He went back in April not as an employee but as a contractor working with a software upgrade. We are not sure what may happen next. JPMorgan stated that all employees were to show up for work this morning as usual - however, that was the extent of the announcement concerning employees. I am creating this post to confirm that yes - it does affect us - but we just don't know how yet. Our family would appreciate your prayer during this time. We know that God is in complete control - we trust in that.
I will keep you "posted".

We are praying Charrissa. Sharon James called me right after you let me go and all she wanted to know was how you were and that she had prayed for you and your family this morning. Please keep us updated and we will take this to the Lord in prayer.
Love you.
Thought of you as well. Praying for the Lords will. Thank you for the Sweet post on my blog. It's hard seeing a loved one battle cancer. We've both been there and it's never easy. (((Hugs)))
Let us know if you need anything even a little cheer up or whatever it may be.....even if it is watching the kids so you and Philip can get out and talk.....whatever? We love you and are praying for all that God has for you......I am sure He is working to do his good will for your lives.
God's plan is always best, even when we don't understand at the moment. I am praying for you to find that peace that only He can give you, to sustain you as you wait on Him.
Psalm 26:14 "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."
Love you.
