Hearts for Him

New Concern

Mike's boss just called and he is now scheduled to work three days a week instead of the four that we had been anticipating - which really throws a wrench into our budget.  We need him to have at least four shifts to just barely make it, but if he has only three shifts, we won't.  That is very scary.  He needs to find a new job or keep the job and transfer to a different store or SOMETHING.  I am sure that God has something better in store for Mike - though at the moment I cannot imagine what that would be.  I pray that God gives Mike the confidence to look for new employment and to secure it soon.  (I know - I know - I'm wanting it on my timeline, not God's timeline, and that's wrong, but I *do* want it to be soon)  I pray that the Lord would give me patience as well in regards to our finances.  I honestly think it's time to downsize our rent payment by moving to a new apartment that is much cheaper, but I don't know that we will be able to afford to do that anytime soon either.  This could be the answer to prayer about Mike getting the forty hours per week.  But I think he is planning on talking to Eric again and asking him if he is really considering the third shift weekends.  If he is and if Britany is willing to let the switch happen, it would really really be good.  But I kinda feel like God is trying to show us that it's time for Mike to move on from his current job.  In the meantime, I'm feeling called to go back to work part-time, doing something somewhere that I can have at least Abby with me (she'll be here in one week and one day!!!)  and that I can possibly have the boys with me as well.  We sincerely need prayer for God's guidance as to the direction he wants to take our lives.

Thanks! I know He will provide. I got really scared really quickly, but it was a pretty fleeting feeling. I am sure that this is part of God's awesome plan for our lives and I cannot wait to see what He has chosen for us!
