"I was sure by now, God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away. "

Over the last couple days, I've come to find out that layoffs are imminent at my place of employment. While there are many who are worse off than we are, finances are extremely tight. So this is our storm.
Answered prayer:
- I've been praying for a long time for the Lord to provide a way for me to be home with our kids. Is this it? time will tell.
- We have the opportunity to host international exchange students. Being a full time stay-at-home-mom would make us much more comfortable with this.
- The Lord always provides. So there is my rejoice. Thank you for your provision, Lord.
Thank you, Lord, for taking a selfish person and teaching her to reach beyond herself and see how blessed she truly is.
