A Lesson in Faith

Sometimes you feel like you are never going to get a break. Sometimes life gets harder instead of easier and sometimes you feel like you want to just give up. But, somehow it always seems like when these moments come God nudges me and reminds me to have faith. He has always taken care of us and we have never wanted for the essentials. We have never resorted to fighting and bickering with each other or with family because of the stress. God has kept us together as a family unit to get through tough times together and our extended family has always been a bigger blessing to us than they will ever know. I had to tell myself earlier this week to take a leap of faith. Our apartment HAS to be sublet and Jake HAS to start his job in South Carolina on the 22nd. So, we took the leap knowing that God would provide and rented a storage unit, moving van, and paid the deposit on an apartment. A guy is coming today to fill out the application to take our lease. Us moving depends on him passing the application process. But, even though it is all up in the air I know in my heart that if for some reason he doesn't pass the application that it will be okay and someone WILL come along to take our lease. Even if we don't move this weekend I feel like I have learned a valuable lesson. I know that when I get stressed out and feel like there is no hope I am just being silly. God doesn't leave His people, He takes care of them even if taking care of them means teaching us to rely on him by giving us hard situations to get through.
