A Job and Our Home

[raleneb]

I'm a little apprehensive. I keep telling myself that everything is God's hands and He will take care of us. Still, there are days (like today) where I start to . . . worry. Not doubt, really, just kind of like, "Okay, any day now."

My husband and I found the perfect house for us back in January, and through only God's provision we were able to work out a "rent to own" agreement with the owners b/c we were waiting on some financial stuff.

Well, we're still waiting on the financial stuff--and our rental agreement ends at the end of July. They could choose to put it back on the market at that point.

We technically have the finances to afford a mortgage, but apparently half of it doesn't qualify according to mortgage standards (hubby's GI Bill, my 6-month-old editing business). So, despite being partially disabled, hubby has to try to find a job while we wait on the other financial stuff.

He's really limited on what he can do, but he doesn't want me to give up my editing business or the ability to homeschool our kids. He has a potential job if this company is contracted with the army post here, but we're waiting to hear about that. In the meantime, he's applying for some other jobs, but it's pretty slim around here right now.

Prayers would be greatly appreciated!

Praying God provides you and your husband with peace of mind and heart.

Sometime that's the toughest to hold onto when both the short term and long term future looks so uncertain and challenging, but He wraps us in His loving care and provides according to His plan for us in His way and His time.

And, speaking from experience, He usually provides in the most creative and unexpected ways.

I know how that feels! Prayers away!
