Good reminder that no one measures up by his or her own efforts.<BR/><BR/>I was unaware of your job challenges. I'm sorry to hear it, though confident a conspiracy of goodness is at work in your life. I'll be praying for you. My wife left her job several months ago, which accounted for about 40% of our household income. We would have never known that we could survive on so much less (and how much consumption we were lazily, habitually participating in).<BR/><BR/>Not saying that's your lesson to learn, but something wonderful (and difficult) came out of such unforeseen trouble. <BR/><BR/>God is faithful. You're in my prayers.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898344279654975005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445646582472943180.post-76897914697579934402008-07-14T20:22:00.000-07:002008-07-14T20:22:00.000-07:00You...are an amazing person.

He shared with me how he struggles as the family's sole provider and how he feels he is not doing a good enough job. I am praying for you right now that you will get to see a glimpse of God's plan so you can have a little answer in the midst of your trust. I look forward to hearing the rest of this story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445646582472943180.post-32976016996597427952008-07-10T17:20:00.000-07:002008-07-10T17:20:00.000-07:00You do an amazing job as the protector for this fa...You do an amazing job as the protector for this family. The kids will never know the scary, hard time we're going through, because you do such a great job of continuing your role as father and husband no matter how uncertain you are about the future. <BR/>We absolutely will look back on this one day and see God's grace and faithfulness throughout all of this!Big Head, Little Bodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796732964871932237noreply@blogger.com
