Decisions, Decisions....

Know how it feels to be "stuck between a rock and a hard place"? There are a number of tough choices we need to make in the upcoming weeks, and they seem to be really hard calls on our part. # 1: I need to find a job...somewhere! But jobs that fit my physical conditions are rather hard to come by. May the Lord give us imagination and favor in finding something...Soon. #2: Rebecca has been getting more and more "flak" at her restaurant job, plus it bothers her a lot physically (she being a small-ish woman, and the lifting hurts her arms). Her college jobs will certainly pay more than what she currently makes, but should she quit the bothersome job before I have a job to help things out? #3: I've been going through some sort of depression/oppression lately, and it makes it even harder for me to go out looking for a job. How does one "sell oneself" to a potential employer when one has trouble believing in oneself in the first place? It's a viscious cycle - I feel bad about myself, but I need to get a job, but I can't find one, so I feel bad about myself, .... See what I mean? HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS RUT? <[I'm open to suggestions!] I'm trying to do all that God has shown me to do thus far, although occasional personal sin throws me for a loop in the midst of this {I'm in the clear right now}.

Pray for us as a family, that we will be able to get out of our "comfort zones" and continue to step out in faith. We need to get out and share our Missions Vision more, a portion of our life we've been far too lax in, and we need to keep raising support for when we DO go to Africa. Our financial supporters have been slipping away, bit by bit, and we're not replacing them. Yes, God IS the Provider in ALL these things, but we also need to walk out what He requires of us. It's way too easy to get into the habit of getting so used to where we are in life that we never want to move on; in our case, we Do want to move on, yet it looks like it's not enough to do more to see it happen. May He graciously kick us in the seat of our pants to get us going!

We thank you for your prayer support, and if you ARE members of our present financial team, God bless you - keep hanging in there with us! David
