one year later...

One year and 114 job applications later and still no fulltime job, yet somehow, someway we are still making it. (Not really somehow, someway...I know how...it has been all God) He has provided for us in every way. So far I have been able to pay the bills every month. I am so thankful for the part-time work that we do have. My job with Mother's Day Out that I can take my boys with me while I work and for the part-time work that our wonderful church has provided for Jimmy. However, it can still be very hard not knowing what is going to happen or how long this phase of life will be, but in the end, we know God sees the big picture and can trust that he is holding on to us.

Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less

Lord, I love the way you hold me

I guess for now the next phase while we try to wait patiently for a fulltime job will be school for Jimmy. He has been taking one class this semester at SEBTS and has completed his application to start as a full time student in the spring.  Seminary is not something he had previously thought about doing, but it seems to be where God wants him right now...
