As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. (Isaiah 66:13)
When the circumstances of life loom fierce and threaten to beat us down—when the seeming futility of our earthly endeavours brings sorrow oppressive, our God will be a comfort to us. He promises consolation. He promises to heal our hearts. He promises us strength in faith. He is our God and He is good!
I subscribe to Daily Promises from Blue Letter Bible and this timely message came through my email this morning. I shouldn't have to be reminded of what I already know is true about God, but there are some days I truly do.
Hubby came home for supper last night and said he's thinking it might be time to get out of the business. He's been praying and praying, but so far doesn't know what to do and the bills keep mounting.
In this economy if we try to sell we will have a hard time finding a buyer and then comes the problem of what to do next. Where will he find work? Will we have to sell the house too?
I'm so sad right now and pretty scared too. This could be a good thing if he can sell the business, if he can get another job, maybe even something with insurance but the in-between time is going to be really tough going. We're going into this with nothing to fall back on. So many "ifs".
I hate to see him so beaten down.
I'm trying to think of things I need to do in light of the possibility of us having to relocate...oh my, there is much!! How I would hate to leave The Little Turquoise House, but I made an even more difficult move once before and I can do it again. I have to admit though, my stomach is in knots this morning...I'm trying to take deep breaths and take one moment at a time.
Please keep us in your prayers that God would give my dear Hubby clear direction and we will come out of this better for having gone through it.
Tonight is my planned field trip to the pipe organ with my piano students. I'm excited to share it with them; I'm a little nervous too, but talking with one of my adult students about it yesterday helped a great deal.
Another deep breath...and off into the day and all it holds...
Bless your heart, those are hard decisions I know, and I will pray for the right moves, and for God's will you your life. He know, He hears, and will answer in His time. Be faithful.
ReplyDeleteThat's just one of the beautiful things about the Bible.... it's the LIVING Word. A passage we may already know can speak volumes to us right at the time we need it most. It's always new.
ReplyDeleteYou and your Hubby do have some big decisions to make. Even tho' the economy is bad, it's getting better. I've seen things pick up here and even a couple businesses have sold recently. I'll be praying for you both that God will make His will be known to you soon and give you both peace.
Let me know how your students react to the large organ tonight. I'd love to be there too. :) ♥
