I know He has a plan but...

I've gotta be careful posting today.

I could really let out some bitterness and tears if I get too carried away.

My heart's hurting for my husband...

for our family.

He found out last night that the job we had hoped and prayed for

was given to another candidate.

So it's back to searching the want ads more ardently.

(we never stopped, we just slowed down a bit)

I know the Lord is in charge.

I know He has a plan.

But this...

...this is getting old.

(by the way, that guy's hair is CRACKING me up!)

I'm tired of pinching pennies

and selling our stuff just to make ends meet.

I've got to remember that by the rest of the world's standards,

we are rich beyond measure.

And to quote Jerry Bridges, "We are blessed more than we deserve."

Just gotta keep repeating that to myself!

Thanks for letting me be so real and honest about this - it's humbling to say the least.

Note: David does have a job currently.

He works 65-75 hours a week

and we still struggle to make ends meet.

That's why he's searching for a new job.

Also, this song is speaking volumes to me today...
