IN the midst of the storm.. God is GOOD!
6 years ago this week.. I lost my job... Thanksgiving week..(after almost 20 years) can you imagine.. what a horrid time to lose a job.. add to it that we had purchased our dream home about 6 months earlier... the Pressure was intense..absolutely crushing... and yet I knew that God would take care of us. And he has..
It hasn't been easy.. things have been tighter than i ever wanted them to be..I've had to work more hours than I have since I was in my 20's. and for a longer time than I planned.. but we have never been without a home.. we have had vehicles to get to work and our kids have been able to do some things.
God is Faithful.
I've learned a few things along the way..
It really isn't about the Job.. I'm not the job.. the job isn't me.. I'm more than that...
I really do love my wife and kids... I wish that I could spend more time with them..
I wish that I would have done the Dave Ramsey plan earlier... I wouldn't be as tight now if i had.
But that being said... I won't be in this place for much longer... and I won't go back to where I was again.
I really want to help the orphans... www.showhope.com
God is preparing me for something awesome..
I firmly believe that we are tested to make us stronger.. and to prepare for something coming down the road that we are either to face or that we are to do..
these last few years I believe are preparing me for something to do.. and the whole time God is at my side saying... I'm with you.. I'm here. don't worry . I'm beside you..
the neat thing is is that he is beside you too.. no matter what you are going through..He is beside you.
