Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart.......

Lean Not On Your Own Understanding.

I have to live by this or I will lose it. There is always a lesson to be learned, and He is always with us but I know I often wonder "seriously?".

It is no secret, many families are struggling right now, we have been for a while and will more now. Mike just called to tell me two things. Good and bad news.

Bad news, his factory is shutting down on Fridays until further notice.

Good news, he still has a job.

I'm grateful for him having a job at all since I can't seem to get one, but this is very scary for me. The thought of us both being without a job is numbing, not being able to feed our kids is worse or dress them, or put a roof over their heads. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself but there needs to be a plan in case this does happen which means thinking the worst.

First and foremost, we as a family and those out there dealing with this and worse need to realize that we are NOT in control He is and He has a plan. It may suck as we walk through it but it will be okay when we have learned whatever it is that he wants us to learn.

Ask and you shall receive, I have witnessed this before myself. Know that not all prayers are answered and know that is a good thing. So pray, when you have nothing left to lean on. When you have no one left to lean on, he is there, always has been and always will be.

As I pray for you, please pray for us and every other person out there who is feeling this crunch.
