MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING

Beginning in September 2014, Jacob and I were finally starting to get back to a healthy place financially after multiple job losses/changes this past summer.

Because of my subchorionic hematoma (blood clot) I am on a lift restriction and I am no longer able to Nanny. I lost my job on October 26th. That amounts to $1100 that was taken from our pockets monthly which we could have used to pay off credit cards, pay off our second car and put new tires on our vehicle ( a major need that we have right now with winter coming up).

Monday, the 27th I found out that the other part-time position I have at the apartment complex where we live, will no longer be giving me paychecks, I can only work to have my rent compensated and that's it. Granted, I understand that rent compensation is a blessing and I am thanking God I wasn't let go entirely. However, between the two we lost $1700/month of income in a matter of two days.

The enemy is fighting hard people.

The same day we found out about Judah's Anencephaly (10/17), I got called in for an interview for a position I had applied for months earlier. In my limited perspective, this job would be PERFECT but I am wokring VERY hard to trust God with it. I interviewed the Wednesday following the diagnosis (10/22), which was the same day we saw the termination doctor. It has been almost a week since my interview and I have to work super hard not to get anxious about it. God will provide for us; I am sure of it. GOD is writing our story, not me, and to him goes ALL the glory.
