As many of you know our landlord has been struggling through the foreclosure process. Well he finally lost and the house we are renting went back to the bank. This means that the Foxes will be moving. To where? We have no idea. We are thinking about getting out of the Queen Creek area and closer to more job opportunities for Chris. He has been without a job now for a year, but God is gracious and has provided for us in many many ways. Chris has had some odd jobs here and there, and I have been working part time. We are both in school;what an adventure and challenge this last year has been. I love how God chooses to run us through the ringer of purification. We know that God has a place for us, and are trusting him to reveal it to us at the proper time. We are thankful for all of this provisions and his love.
Matthew 6:25-34 NKJV
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap not gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is , and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

We'll be praying for you all during this season! Thankfully, it won't last forever...
ReplyDeleteHow true! God cares about how many hairs are on our heads, so how much more does He care for the major things in our life? A friend just told me her brother and wife have been living rent free in QC because their rental was foreclosed and the bank was happy to just have someone in the house. Maybe you could offer something like that?? Good luck!
