Well, this hasn't been the best of weeks.
TH was told he was not permanently hired for the long term sub job he had last Spring. Then, he interviewed for a second job and was told he was not hired for that one either.
Poor TH. It has been hard to hang in there in the face of so much disappointment.
Add to that the ongoing slippage of the bank account and you have what amounts to a pretty dismal couple of days.
So, why a new chapter?
Well, there are a couple of jobs open this fall that I qualify for.
Each of them would bring us health benefits again, but the catch is I would need to return to work full time.
So, part of my mind says: "Hmm maybe it's my turn to work full time again after two years of half-time."
While the other part of my mind says: "I don't THINK so!!!"
So, the mind I'm really seeking these days is Christ's.
In faith, I am updating the resume and applying for three jobs I am qualified for--even though I don't want to go back to work full time.
In faith I am leaving next Tuesday for a 1 week trip we have had scheduled for a few months--even though that is the thing that makes the least amount of sense right now.
In faith, I have paid the last of the bills for the month, and am trusting God for next month--even as our bank account starts to zero out.
Thank you for your prayers for our hearts. Now can you please add in prayers that we will know the next step that God wants us to take?

I am sorry for TH. Waiting, then waiting, then waiting some more is so hard. :( Hope deferred does make the heart sick; I will pray for hope fulfilled.
I will pray also that you have clear leading with respect to full time work.
Mostly I pray that wherever He leads, that He brings you peace.
Some day, when we all are in Heaven with the Lord, you will truly know how much your prayers and love mean to me. It's hard not to feel alone right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope I can uphold you with the same faithfulness, whenever you need it.
