Maybe, no Definitely

Our days and nights have been filled with worries about making the budget work, our dwindling savings, and how we just need me to find a job and it will all be alright.

Almost as if we forgot we watched Him provide for two years in Guatemala.

This weekend, on our way back from Holland (visiting Jordan's family), we listened to Jim Samra/Calvary's sermon from the 4th of July. At the beginning of our trip home, we talked about my job search and one potential upcoming position and our almost lack of faith.

Long story short, his sermon was about prayer and the importance of prayer. The sermon struck so close to home... it was time to get on our knees and fast.

Let me tell you, we've been prayin. And we're not sure if this job is going to work out and we don't think that praying will force it to work out, but we know He's listening.

Jordan's mom called me today to let me know they were praying for us, an hour later, the company I am interviewing at called for a list of references... a little sign that I'm moving through the process. I sent a little prayer above and within an hour, Karen (my boss/co-worker) at Franklin Property texted to say that she just spoke with the company as a reference. Prayer works.

Will you join us in prayer for a job, but more importantly, our trust?

Maybe that's what this whole experience is all about... trust. Wait, it's not a maybe, it's a definitely.

... ... ...

 Why is it so hard to trust God's provision here, why was it so much easier in Guatemala?

  1. Hey Rach! Saw you posted from facebook, and just wanted to let you know I'll be praying for you and Jordan! I think there is something about living overseas and the continual vulnerability and unpredictability of it all that brings us (well, at least me) to my knees a lot faster than when I'm back in America and in an environment I can "control." Long story short-- keep the faith, He is Good and Generous! I can't wait to hear about your new job!
