We're not doing the full rice and beans plan but pretty close. November 2009 my wife lost a very high paying job @ a very well known car dealership as the auto industry began to collapse. By January, the company I worked for was nearing bankruptcy and I got laid off. What made it all scarier was the fact that wife was due to give birth to our first child in May. I had been putting off going into ministry for as long as I could out of a hope to earn enough money to be "secure " before submitting to what God had called me too. Problem is God gets kinda funny about us putting things in front of him. While it was fresh, it was scary but what he taught my wife and I is that the stories of manna from heaven and a prophet on the run being fed by ravens weren't just stories for Sunday school but were the promises of a loving God who will always provide what we need to serve him. I am now working at a pest control company 4 days a week and @ a church 3 days. My wife now has a wonderful job and our baby girl is the cutest girl in Texas! Money is a great thing, don't get me wrong, but I'm happier and have a better marriage now that we know how to put it in its place.
Hope I don't sound to preachy but this subject gets me excited!
If you had things in order it would not be faith. I am sorry but you have the second cutest girl in Texas
You know I am messing with you. But it is important to remember that eternity is much more important. Thanks for the words of hope.
