Jor has been looking for a job since January. It can be hard to be the wife of a person looking for a new job! :-) It never works to mettle in his affairs and yet sometimes I can feel so powerless.

This has thrown me back on the Lord. God is my provider, not my husband. So HE is to one to speak to when I get fearful or have my own idea about how Jor should look for a job. I've been doing a LOT of praying about the job and God keeps saying good is coming. I felt he said this is a year of abundance for us. Even though abundance has not manifested yet, I am pressing in, by faith.

Faith is SO important to God. And faith is ALL about the unseen. This is hard for us fleshly minded creatures. We want evidence NOW. We don't want to wait. But God is interested in our character. He wants to grow us into the people we are created to be. This comes through trials. During the trials we hope in the unseen. What is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.

+Lord give us a real sense of your abiding presence as we go through trials.+
