i appreciate everyone's encouragement from the last post i had about dave's job situation. i was not sure if i should share all of our struggle's about that, but it was something we were having a rough time with and i wanted to be honest and not portray the "everything is great!" cliche. because it wasn't. but i want to share with you now what God has done for us in the past few days. david finally was able to talk to his manager on tuesday and told him he needed to quit because of the financial strain the job was putting on us and the incompatibility it was with our priorities (ministry internship). he told him that his last day was going to be thursday. his manager tried to cut a deal with him, but we've just had enough, not to mention they only scheduled him for 17 hrs. next week when he's supposed to be at least 35. so thursday he worked and said goodbye. starting monday, he will be full-time at the scranton country club and maybe picking up a night or two at the texas roadhouse again. that alone has been a HUGE answer to prayer. we are relieved and encouraged to have a steady job with a stable income. as far as the heating bill, david called and worked things out. the letter was very misleading and was not what we thought. instead of paying $200 up until august, we just pay $200 this month and next month and then we will be done with the budget plan for this year and just pay what we use from now on. they made it seem like we would be paying more. so that worked out very well and we are relieved about that. as far as my contacts and a new car...we'll see how that works out! it may be that after a few weeks of dave's new job, we'll have enough for me to buy my year's worth of eyesight. God is providing....we're just waiting to see how He will work out the rest. thank you for your encouragement...it means alot!
on another note, i came across this article that i thought would be nice to pass along. it is called, Lunchtime Renewal. just a couple ways to rejuvenate yourself for the second half of your day. i especially like the 'feminine and masculine energy' :) read for yourself!
have a great weekend!

sounds like you'll be just fine... aren't we a funny people? Matt's looking for a job too, so I know the thoughts & emotions that can get ya down. Just keep pluggin' away, God's got you both covered in grace.
The link on how-to relax at lunch was great... i'll probably need to work more on focusing the blue-green energy
Hey Lar! I hadn't read your blog in a little while so I went back and read the last 3. Thanks for sharing all that, its good to know where you guys are at. If we don't share our "trials" with our friends then when God answers our prayers and brings us through the rough times we won't have anyone to share them with. Hey I will be up there soon for my brothers graduation from BBC, would love to see you and Dave!
