Faith

It's been 5 weeks since I lost steady employment. I shoveled snow for about 9 hours one day this week, a nice couple has been good enough to let me help them build their house (a beautiful log home it will be), I plan on a painting job, and others have generously given time, calls, support, prayers, and $. One interview has come and gone, another resume/application went out today,.......... I go back and forth thinking what to do/making effort in the right direction, and keeping faith that God is doing the real work (with other people) so let Him. It is peaceful/rewarding and yet torturous at the same time. Peaceful in that I'm getting rest, helping Lindy with the family, reading and relaxing, praying, etc. It's torture because how do you truly relax with no stable source of income on the horizon, a wife and six kids to support? A test of FAITH! Faith is most useful in times of doubt. If we knew the answers it wouldn't be faith. Even doing this blog is an act of faith. Faith that it will open a door to what I'm called, faith that I'm not using precious time in the wrong direction, and faith that I might be helping someone else. Life is good, it just isn't always rosy. Keep the FAITH!
