Trust in Him, lean not on your own understanding.
He will direct your path!
HAVE FAITH, NEVER DOUBT!
God WILL make a way!
These are some of the things I tell myself every day. Over and over again. Times are hard but God is always near and I always need a reminder.
Out of college, not yet in a job I want, married and struggling to pay the bills. (or should I say student loans)
I feel like this describes a lot of people, maybe one or two things stand a bit different but today a lot of people are going through this same thing. I have found the only way to stay positive when struggling is to trust in God, the one who can’t be seen but the one who always provides!
A little over 2 months ago Andy was almost done with his current contract position (he had even had a 3 month extension) but he still hadn’t found a job. This time he had been looking HARD for about 6 months. I mean applying to 20 jobs daily some weeks and still having no luck… This time in our lives was so hard, unbearable at times! We had a huge feeling of being tested by God and all through it knowing and trying to believe 100% that he would provide.
Well the week before his contract ended it was a Friday (I believe) Andy applied for another job and I (like always) just prayed something would come out of it. Monday he got a call back, Tuesday he got an interview, Wednesday he had a new job…. starting the next week!!! Oh how I look back and stand in awe of what God can do. Andy had no job lapse, he had a greater faith knowing that God does provide and does care for Him.
These last 10 months of marriage haven’t been easy. The last 3 years of knowing each other has been challenging with finishing college, trying to find jobs, family while still getting to know each other. But through it all I have learned that even in times of not really knowing where God is, he is always, always, always there!!! I’m so thankful for family, friends and Eagle Brook Church for always being there and giving us weekly reminders of who God is and what He is capable of.

Bills are still there, the job isn’t perfect, life isn’t perfect but I think we are taking steps forward :-) I still daily remind myself of these things, and say over and over again…
God will always be there, he will never leave you. Trust in Him, lean not on your own understanding. He will direct your path! HAVE FAITH, NEVER DOUBT! God will make a way!
Believe today! Trust today! and most of all LOVE each other through the tough times :-)
