I really need your prayers.

We have been rocked yet again and are in need of much prayer. Many of you have already heard of the outrageous condo assessment that was just passed which requires us to pay a large amount of money we don’t currently possess by the 15th of January and now I don’t have a job to go back to. My mom’s company has not been doing well after the economy plummeted and our hope was that after my maternity leave was up (I was supposed to go back next week) things would pick back up and I could go back 3/4 time. Well, I spoke with her this morning and things have picked up some, but not enough. We discussed unemployment over the phone and I have to admit that I’m scared. I am also extremely hormonal, maybe even going through baby blues/postpartum depression which doesn’t help. Even as I write this email I can’t stop crying…it’s ridiculous really.

Luke and I are counting the endless blessings our Lord God has gifted us with and we have much hope that this trial will bring great understanding, perseverance and appreciation for our God, but we are also man and have times of doubt and fear. Please be praying for wisdom, discernment as well as what we should do financially especially now that we have a baby that we also need to provide for. Oh, and if this is God’s way of having me stay home, then I just pray that He would show Luke and I how we can make it happen on a tight budget that just got tighter.

I really appreciate your prayers…they mean so much to me.

Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”

Matthew 11:28-30 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
