We've had so many things go wrong these last few months and it was so discouraging but for some reason, I had an amazing peace about it. I KNEW God was going to take care of it all. I had this awesome expectancy...I couldn't WAIT to see how He did it. And then months went by and no big miracles just "happened". I started getting pretty discouraged. We started looking into getting a loan even though my husband was against it, he was thinking we had little choice. I was tired of waiting on God and wanted to fix it myself. To fix all of our stuff right now, we need $10,000. That's a LOT of money! When I was really ready to just stop trusting though, someone from church (we have no idea who) gave us $500. It barely touched our problem, but it helped us have our pay-period in months that we hadn't overdrawn our account. I even bought some Christmas presents. <br /><br />This person who gave this gift has no idea what they did for us. They helped me keep my faith that God would provide. Maybe not in the big way I was hoping for, but in the way I needed best. And as I stopped to look at what HAD happened these last few months, I couldn't help but see His hand. Chris was supposed to be laid-off in October. He is training his replacement until Christmas. It's a miracle we even have a job right now. <br /><br />I want God to get the glory for my life. The loan I wanted would fix my problems, but it wouldn't give glory to God. I'm still skittish, but God knows where I am and He's taking the time to assure me through little things day by day. <br /><br />I will absolutely be praying for you guys!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219709824944028068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571069715641366593.post-41807919350047763692009-11-30T19:41:55.428-05:002009-11-30T19:41:55.428-05:00Praying for you, my friend!Praying for you, my friend!Cindyhttp://ourjourneywestward.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571069715641366593.post-47218130872299766442009-11-29T00:16:26.515-05:002009-11-29T00:16:26.515-05:00I am so sorry to hear this..you are in my thoughts...I am so sorry to hear this..you are in my thoughts and prayers..if u need anything call us!!..babysitter...ANYTHING!!tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471328725768325085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571069715641366593.post-25579340145777270012009-11-25T20:56:53.062-05:002009-11-25T20:56:53.062-05:00I don't have any words, so I will just pray......I don't have any words, so I will just pray...Heather @ Marine Corps Nomadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704044370479709930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571069715641366593.post-13198278380064116012009-11-25T20:38:17.221-05:002009-11-25T20:38:17.221-05:00BTW "broken" by Lifehouse is one of my f...BTW "broken" by Lifehouse is one of my faves! :-)heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672850301050304538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571069715641366593.post-87685898096875080662009-11-25T20:36:43.482-05:002009-11-25T20:36:43.482-05:00Shanna, I know exactly where your at right now. M...Shanna, I know exactly where your at right now. My husband lost his job in October of 2007 and was without work for 4 months. When did get a job is was barely more than unemployment and with 6 kids you know how not good that is. We are still reeling from the finanical rampage that took upon us. But i will tell you that I never had to depend on the Lord like I did then and still do. Thankfully my husband has just been offered a much better job, but the last 15 months have been very hard. He has given us a beautiful baby during that time and I wouldn't change that. I guess He was teaching to REALLY need Him. I will pray for you spiritually and for your husband, I know the weight that must be upon his shoulders right now as well. If I can do anything, please dont hesitate to ask, even if its to pray with you or just to talk! Blessings sister.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672850301050304538noreply@blogger.com
