You've Got to Pray Just to Make it Today!!!

We would appreciate all of our close buddies/family to be praying for us on a couple of things going on these days. Most of you know about Matt's mom and her health struggles lately. She's getting out of the hospital today and this is beginning a series of challenges and changes for her. Matt is definitely taking on a more active role of making decisions and managing things for her. He's very glad and willing to do this, but obviously it is a sacrifice for him in a number of ways. Just pray that his strength will come from the Only One with strength when having to communicate difficult things, etc. Matt needs our Father's energy and clear thoughts when making multiple trips to MS and coming back to everything waiting on him here in KY!! What a task!!! Thanks for lifting him up!!
Matt and I are in the process of praying through the possibility of me getting a full time job for this year at a Christian school or daycare. We are so sick of the "seminary hole" in our finances and we wonder if this would be a great way to fill it up!!! It would be such a sacrifice on all of us and I just want to make the right decision. It would also take great discipline to use the $ for what we know God wants us to. We need His direction and peace to know that this is His plan and not ours!!
Thank you, sweet friends, for your prayers and support/advice!!! We love you guys so much!!!!!!!

Jen, I am praying now about those things for you...tough decisions, but God is honored just by your desire to obey Him. Trust that He will give you the wisdom and peace you need as you navigate new waters. Keep us posted...

Thanks for your honesty and how we can pray for you guys. We have been praying for you all and Matt's mom. We will now pray for your job situation. I am finding out this week about a p.t. position at a pre-school that would pay really well. I would love to hear more about your job opp. I know you probably have to make a quick decision as school starts soon. Love you guys!
