One year.

One year from today Rob found out that he lost his job.
One year from today I though he would have found one by now.
One year from today I though we would never make it pass the holiday let alone for one year.
One year ago we lost our income and even some of our friends, but gained true new ones.
One year ago we truly came together as a couple, parents and a family.
One year ago I though I know my own strength but found out that I was allot stronger then I thought.
One year ago I never would of gotten excited about toilet paper and diapers being drop off on our doorstep.
One year ago my baby girl would never sang this song
"Oh where oh where is my daddy's new job Oh where oh where could it be."
and One year ago It would not of made me laugh so hard that I almost wet my pants.
One year ago we came closer to the Lord,
We have learned how to budget, be more frugal. and to REALLY trust in the Lord.
We have seen many blessing and received many gifts from above.
And though we have no job YET our prays have been answered,
our needs have been taken care of and we truly feel his love.
We have a true understanding what it is to
"trust in the lord with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him, and he shall direct your way.
( Proverbs 3:5,6 )

I hope this trial will end SOON but if not then I know our needs will be taken care of.
Thank you for all your prays, he does hear them.

If anyone hears of anything PLEASE PLEASE let us know.
Rob has been getting allot of interviews in the past 3 weeks.
I have been teaching off and on.
We are thinking if he does not have a job by the end of Oct then he will be going back to school.
We have applied for Pell Grant and hope to hear soon.
I will be going back to work and then we will be going from there.
If anyone hears of a stay at home job PLEASE PLEASE do share.
