--------------NEW BEGINNINGS------------

This is the first day of the rest of my life. As the snow melts away and leads to new beginnings, new life, and new seasons, my life is in the same process. I choose to embrace the future and see where it will lead me. I am going to walk into my future blindly, trusting God to lead me all the way.

STRIKE YEAR

Well this year is a strike year and guess what, they are on strike. Ed has been in this occupation for 18 or 19 years and we have never went on strike. It is a stretch to say the least. I had prayed and prayed, I was in agreement with others and yet on strike we are. My nature is to worry I am sorry to say and I guess I need to take this as an opportunity to have my faith stretched and to grow in the things of God, He has shown me so many things that I guess another leap of faith on my part is to be expected. I want so much to please Him and to TRUST Him in every aspect of my life, I find that easier to do when there is a paycheck coming in every week. Like they say it is easy to believe when you are NOT having to believe for anything. Finances is definately a stretch for me as I know the Lord is well aware of. I was so excited to have a job again so we would have two incomes again and yet God says whoa, girl, we aren't done yet. I am now going to trust and see what this mile brings along the journey of my faith and sing His praises while walking and when all is said and done, but please pray for me and others who have now found ourselves in this situation, work is hard to come by these days and we appreciate the jobs God has provided for us. Ed is not a worrier (praise the Lord) and he is ever willing to work, so I know that if this drags out, he will find some work-some where. I hope you all have a great evening and a great rest of the week. God Bless You!

    For over the past year we've not had a choice but to trust God to provide our needs. EVERY time there was a need, He provided. He not only JUST provided, He provided abundantly. It's very hard to make the decision in your heart that you are not going to worry about things like this and trust God. I'm not saying that it's been easy, nor am I saying that I never worry, but I do know that God is faithful and if you lean on Him, He will come through for you. We love you.
