So it is way past time I updated this once!
Well, this is a very trying time in my life again...No one can really understand unless they have been there! My husband has once more been laid off for the winter, knew it was coming months back, and we have as of yet to find a job to replace it! It is soooo hard to believe that good will come out of this!
Brent is growing out of his clothes, we have no propane for the furnace, the corn burner quit working and my cupboards are becoming very bare! I worry that Brent will get sick or starve and all that stuff! I worry we will lose our house and live on the streets!
Don't get me wrong, I do not sit around all day worrying about it but it does come on to me!
So everytime it comes to my mind, what if? I have decreed to pray about it! Well, it seems all I do is worry, pray, worry, pray!
And really, where are friends who call you or message you and say, we care! We may not know how it is but we want to be there for you!
I think the #1 thing I am learning in this is: Do not just say we care when you do not, and do not try to fix it for them but pray with them and for them! Give them time and friendship! NEVER say to anyone that they are lazy or dumb or whatever! NEVER get so wrapped up in family and close friends so much that you do not have time for them......
This morning I read John 6:16-21....Our lives are so like the churning sea that the disciples sailed on that night. When Jesus walked on the water all the troubles were under his feet. So as we struggle to row through the storms of life we can know that He is in control and that all the troubles are under his feet..... What a wonderful feeling!
And no that does not mean that the human nature never rears up again but that when it does we can lean on Him for comfort...
I still do not know what God has planned here but PLEASE join me in praying that Steve might find his calling and follow his dreams and that I could be a faithful helper through this all! Thank you!

Hi Lucille....I just wanted to let you know that I care! Times are tough these days and so many people are having a tough time. We certainly cannot live the way we used to! Seek Him first and all these things shall be added unto you. He will not leave you or forsake you.
Hi Lucille I just wanted to let you know I care! My husband and I will be praying for you and praying that your husband will find a job. God will not leave you or forsake you!
Luci!
We prayed for you and Steve in prayer meeting today! He has a plan...I believe that with all my heart! :) Still praying!!!!
I am praying for you Lucille. I know how it is to make a living alone and I can't imagine trying to make ends meet for a family yet. I'll keep you in my prayers that Steve finds a job soon. I firmly believe with all my heart that God takes care of His own and He will take care of you since you are one of His. Anytime you need to talk, you know my number!
