With an humble heart and a thread of hope....

I guess most of you know we have had a rough several years. No worse than many other Americans have had to face with this economy, I am sure.
I want to say that if it wasn't for Gary's mom I don't know where or what we would have done. She has let us live here for a year, and done many things for us to help us  get back on our feet. Also I am grateful for the prayers of my family and friends, for the ones who listen, ones who love no matter what, and the ones who gave to us without us ever asking, it has been your prayers that held us.
So as you know after much prayer Gary got his job with Honda, that doesn't mean things got easier cause they didn't. He was making less than 1/2 of what he made 3 years ago. This week he had an interview for a position and we got the letter yesterday saying he got the promotion. It is more money for his check. I could go on and on and tell you about all the dark days, the sleepless nights the hopelessness we have fought, but instead I will tell you I am humbled that God answered our prayers not only did he give Gary a job, but he gave him a job that he likes, as a matter of fact I told him last week I was jealous of his job cause I think he likes being at work more than home now! 
I know it isn't over yet, but I do have a thread of hope!
Maybe the night is almost over, I can't wait to see the sunrise again....

  1. Wow! I know exactly what you are feeling! We have just recently gone through the same type of situation. The Lord also blessed us by giving Nathan a job that he loves that he can also do from home. It is amazing to think about how much the Lord must love us to see to our needs so efficiently. He is a good God and I wouldn't want to try to live life without him!
